The ghost looked a lil soft around the middle will this make him a hair slower?givin Bhops the 1/4 of a second here and there that he will need?make X the the fresher of the 2 down the stretch? i can see why he's still a middleweight he doesnt add muscle the weight he added looked mostly like fat.., remember muscle carries you around...,fat you have to carry around...i see this as a real advantage for bernard.:deal :bbb
Of course it will affect him,Bernard is counting on it.Pavlik looked bad at 164 vs Taylor,imagine how he will look at 170 in a worse style for him vs Hopkins,no pop,no power,no speed,no footwork.Main reason why I'm picking Hopkins to win
Fat will be easier to burn when he goes back down to his regular weight. I don't think it will affect him as much than the crafty Hopkins will.
see this is exactly my thinkin to thunder...,ol hops will probably be 176-179 and a true LH while kelly might add pounds but looks a hair pudgy at 69 already.., this is a real advantage for the Xman! :good
Bernard will win,I'm kinda sure,they can say he has bad stamina how much they like but it's Pavlik's stamina who is sufering here.
