October 18..Pavlik vs. Hopkins..who do you like?

Question

I like Kelly in a unanimous decision

Answer 1

Pavlike will destroy Bhop.

I will guarentee one thing.. BHop will get his @$$ whooped by a whiteboy... Probably KO'd

Answer 2

As powerful and active Pavlik is i just don't see him getting the KO. (hope yes, think so, no)

Bernard has already fought at the higher weight classes and is still one of the craftiest fighters in the game. He'll lose a decision, but believe me he'll find a way to survive.

Answer 3

pav

Answer 4

well i like kelly by Tko..but don't be surprised if b-hop pulls trick out the book and wins this by tko or spilt decision. u to have remember hopkins was a premier p4p boxer in his years he still has something left in the tank.or else he would retire. hopkins sent joe calzaghe to the canvas once  don't be surprised if kelly hits the canvas. as well but still  still wins.

Answer 5

pavlik is the younger man here not by much just  14? -15?years.....

kelly could have it over by the 6th round but that would have to be punch pefect witch he is not there yet i dont think that will  any time soon if it comes at all  but he is strong i think he will knock out Joe C if that was made. dont see them in the same ring any time soon tho joe is still the super mid champ and has said he will defend that title after jones..

pavlik will not knock out hopkins i am sure of that. also he is not the joe c type fighter that slaps a lot so you will alway look like the winner but its slaping same as kids in the AMS...but worked for him...

pavlik has never been in with a hopkins type and id like to see how he would handle the way he controls the ring...

yeh joe won there last fight but hopkins was unlucky if you take in to acount he  was 43 and was the boss in there play up at times but thats what good boxer does think he is not the best skill wise but some how he makes it look like he is doing more than he really is doing not mean have will to do that..

hopkins could easy knock pavlik out  but pavlik points id say.

Answer 6

Pavlik by KO. Hop can't stand up to Pavlik's non-stop attack for 12 rounds. He had to 'take a break' from Calzaghe's pitter-pats. Pavlik's punishing punches will beat him down.

Answer 7

heard this news this morning, pavlik will stop b-hop in the mid rounds.

Answer 8

Is this for real?  I mean is it scheduled?

If it goes off, its a bad fight for Hopkins.  He'll have to lose the muscle he's added over the past 3 years or so, and he'd be in against a big, active puncher.  Pavlik keeps his chin low, and gloves up, and Hopkins doesn't have the hand speed to catch him like Taylor did (he doesn't have the punching power of Taylor either).  This isn't a overblown, drained, or aging champion - this is Kelly Pavlik, a young, primed, heavy-hitting superstar who has legitimatly beaten, twice, the guy who beat Hopkins twice.

This fight could look a lot like Ali vs. Holmes, with Hopkins outgunned at every angle; if Pavlik is aggressive, Hopkins is just going to be a stationary target - he doesn't have the energy to go full rounds anymore, and doesn't have the power to keep Pavlik off him.  

I'd bet it ends up with Pavlik walking him down from the beginning, missing shots early, but the pressure will eventually wear Hopkins out - by the middle rounds he won't be punching back, and it will be round after round of Pavlik's offense just accumulating punishment.  

As long as the ref breaks them from clinches fast, someone will have to come to BHops rescue before the final bell.

Pavlik by TKO in round 9 or 10.

Answer 9

This fight has not been made official yet but if it does go down Oct 18th I think Kelly will be too much for B-Hop he's 43 for crying out loud Kelly is so hungry and wants to be the best.Bernard's time has come and gone Kelly has so much to prove and i'm hear to tell you i've been watching boxing my whole life and i've never seen a middleweight hit as hard as Kelly hits!This kid is very special.Don't let the pail skin and skinny frame fool you every fighter he has faced underestimated his power and what did he do he floored them all 30KO's out of 34 fights i mean damb and yes B-Hop is going to get his a#% kicked by a white boy look for Kelly to become the new p4p king in the next 5 years

Answer 10

b-hop will destroy this kid, mark my words "DESTROY THIS KID" , b-hop has proven to be very powerful unlike taylor, when taylor knockdown pavlik, pavlik came back up , but i garantee,a b-hop bodypunch will Pavlik's rein of champion

Answer 11

wow everybody here wants the white guy to win!!!

F*** that!

HOPKINS BY 1st rd KO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
