Pascal's surprising victory over Chad Dawson gets him some bigger money against the old man. Froch beat him handily two years ago for the WBC super middleweight title.
Does JP have a chance?

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
If he attacks and doesn't get discouraged easily then yes. If he allows B-Hop to maul him and control tempo he loses. Jean Pascal's stamina if I am correct has been iffy at times, but he needs to stay aggressive and keep the "old man" uncomfortable (easier said then done). -
Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
B-Hops style bores me to death. Unless he doesn't like you he won't pound on you . if it goes the right way B-hop wins in a decision. I don't think he has knock out power anymore, but he can catch'em with some good combos and jabs.Comment

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
Couldn't agree more. B-Hop hasn't stopped anyone in over 6 years and I don't see that trend coming to an end anytime soon.
This is going to be an ultra-boring fight and I have no interest in watching it.
We finally got rid of Ruiz so I'm hoping for a nice Christmas present and Pascal retiring the old man.
He doesn't even fight anymore. It's nothing but slapping and hugging.Comment

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
I know. The trouble is, he keeps winning.
But what bothers me is that no ref has the nuts to even warn him about the mugging he does in the ring.
Lampley and Merchant said it perfectly when they commented after Martinez's KO win that boxing needs more stoppages in big-name fights.
But you're never going to get that as long as you let fools like B-Hop slap/hug their way to boring 12 round decisions.
After this weekend, I think everyone's going to realize that Hopkins has no more drawing power so it's useless to fight him. Eventually, nobody's going to fight him because there's no reward to it.Comment

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
His style would be great for heavyweights cause 95% of the fights are his type of style, but when he's in the light heavy, light those dudes fight , box, slug it out what ever. Then this punk steps in the rings and smothers people slap them in the kidneys a couple time then a jab then a combo then he smothers i don't think his fights have high punch counts on either sideComment

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
B-Hop will win like he always does: boring!!! this one will be easy for him. i'm glad Showtime showed some sense by taking it off PPV and putting it on regular Showtime. who in their right mind would pay for this fight?Comment

Re: Bernard Hopkins VS Jean Pascal DEC 18th
Amen brother!!!LOL...But since I am locked down tonight I will watch it just to see if Pascal will be aggressive and take this old man out..loldoubt it Hopkins is to crafty and knows when to hold..I look for a Pascal decision based on his youth and athleticism alone..but Hopkins will make it look closer than it really is by holding and potshotting...THANKS FOR THE TRADE SANDIEGO KEEP RIVERS WE'LL TAKE ELIComment
