Pascal looks in great shape .

nacho libre

He sure does.

I think this is the fight where Hopkin's age finally shows. He was gassed against Jones after six rounds. Pascal fights at a very high pace, so unless Hopkins can slow the pace down I can't see him lasting the distance.

Hopkins will probably prove me wrong now that i've written him off.

It's a toss up between Pascal & Tim Bradley for best body in boxing. Hopkins looks awful though. I know there aren't too many Light Heavyweight Ethiopians, but B-Hop looks like one :eek:

It'll be tight enough I reckon. I think Pascal will win, but it will be a Calzaghe style victory, nothing comprehensive. The fact that the fight is in Canada sways it in Pascal's favour, the fans will be going wild for everything he does and it's likely to influence the judges scoring. There could be four rounds for Hopkins, four rounds for Pascal and four 50/40 rounds, with Pascal getting maybe 3 of them

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Split/Majority Decision

Feargal as Luimneach

What time are Pascal/Hopkins in the ring?

Boooourns

Pascal will win this easily, the best Hopkins will do is try to grab and hold and a load of spoiling. Could be a TKO tonight although Hopkins experience could have him making the final bell when hopefully he retires after an amazing career.
I would be absolutley stunned if Hopkins wins this. Pascal is no Pavlik and Father time has finally caught up with Hopkins.

Bodhisopha

Trying to hide his gut.

Durable enough though, went the distance with Mike the rebel Perez.

This Ronnie Warrior guy is fcuking amazing.

Johner

What's the story with this Ronnie Warrior lad, just checked his record he has 8 No contests.

Bodhisopha

No idea.

Paulie Malignaggi's return coming up next. I actually like Paulie, I think he's a great pro, tremendous heart. I mean if you look at his record, his only defeats are to a prime Miguel Cotto(who he fought with a broken jaw), Ricky Hatton & Amir Khan. All top top fighters. I don't count that BS hometown decision against Diaz as a loss btw. He's very skilled, and still very fast, although a lot of people reckon his legs are giving out on him a bit and obviously he can't punch for sh1t.
I don't see anything coming of his move to the Welterweight division though, a better decision would have been a move to Lightweight(if his body could take it). There was every chance of him winning a world title at LW, which isn't exactlly "stacked", but I just don't see it happening at WW where his lack of power will be even more evident.

Mayweather looks unreal here.

Johner

I love Paulie! Didn't know he was fighting tonight, looking forward to it.

Tbh, all elite boxers have unreal bodies, but Bradley just takes the cake

Johner

Paulie looking well on his comeback.

Johner

OMG PAULIE STOPPED SOMEONE???

Johner

Quick phone call for Paulie there in the ring haha, have to say he looked good there at Welterweight, although he beat nothing tonight he was very sharp.

pbffan

Kudos Paulie:)

But put that frickin phone away :mad:

weemcd

wish theyd get on with this, production is out of the early 90's

Bodhisopha

This is the end of the Executioner as a championship level boxer, i'm sure of it!

Bodhisopha

Best entrance music ever.

Johner

He does it his way.

weemcd

worst entrance ive ever seen

pbffan

Epic entrance for Bernard, what a way to go out

Pascals? In fairness, Hopkins was a tough act to follow.

weemcd

No, I hated Hopkins, thought it was tack

Johner

I have a feeling B Hop is going to win this.

Bodhisopha

Bad call.

Johner

B hop down in the first!

pbffan

Not to sure about that KD, Hopkins was edging it up to that point

10-8 Pascal though I guess

nacho libre

that should not have been ruled a knockdown.

pbffan

Hopkins' round

19-18 Pascal

Bodhisopha

That was a little naughty. I have a feeling Hopkins is going to try to make this dirty.

pbffan

Now that was a legit Knockdown, 10-8 Pascal
Hopkins could have been DQ'd there, threw punches for at least 5 seconds after the bell

29-26 Pascal

Johner

Hopkins bashing him after the bell!

nacho libre

Of course he will be because he's losing. he did the same against Calzaghe

Bodhisopha

Hopkins round. KD pretty much the same as the first.

digme

this is getting very interesting,just waiting for something crazy to happen, i can feel it lol

pbffan

Did the ref not count that?

Hopkins will try and start headbutting. the ref spotted the punch behind the head the second time around.
