I got $25 on Hopkins by decision.

[smoogy]

I predict you will lose 25 bucks.

Haha I know it's a long shot, but it's actually $5 to win $25 if BHop takes it by decision. I thought it was worth it.

Yeah that made me look smarter than I actually am. I dont think anyone knew it was gonna go down like that. BHop took him to school for 12 rounds. Pavlik looked like an amature. Going and staring down press row for 10 mins after the fight is total classic Hopkins. The man is a legend.

Thats what is great about MMA an Boxing, anything can happen. Kelly schooled Taylor an even knocked him out once, an beat guys that Hopkins couldn't. Then beats Kelly.

I wanted Hopkins to get knocked out because he can be a tool bag but no doubting his skills.

Still want to see Kelly knock him out though lol.

Yeh and that's crazy. I remember somebody on here saying people can automatically tell who will win a Boxing match as compared to MMA. This proves them wrong also.

What most didn't realize (which I predicted on the other site) is that no one's going to knock Hopkins out. I knew he was faster than Pavlik, and you can't out punch Hopkins, you can't beat him. Taylor, Calzaghi, and Winky were all able to match Hopkins' punch out put.

The reason Taylor and Miranda couldn't beat Pavlik is because of the simple fact that eventually, they will get hit. Hopkins never got hit with anything flush what so ever! If Hopkins didn't just solidify himself as the greatest ever, over Mahammed Ali, I don't know what he need's to do.

Good luck lol.

Hopkins is simply a legend. Yeah, the fight was tough for me because Kelly Pavlik is one of my favorites, but Hopkins showed he's an all-time great.

With that said, Pavlik will be back. He'll never beat a guy like Hopkins, but I still think he'll dominate middleweight in a fashion similar to Hopkins. Work on his movement and counterpunching, and he'll be a true beast.
