Lets see the last time he was an underdog was vs. Pavlik. What did he do to Pavlik? He gave him the boxing lesson of his life. B-Hop was a significant underdog in that fight. The time before that he was a underdog vs Antonio Tarver. Everyone thought Hopkins was nuts to jump straight from middleweight to light heavyweight. What did Hopkins do? He beat up Tarver for 12 rounds even scoring a knockdown on the bigger man.
His next opponent, Pascal, is a much different fighter than Pavlik and Tarver. He has very fast hands and starts out pretty fast. His only loss was to Froch who we all know has very slow hands. What Froch did was bully him and roughed him up. It threw him off his game. Hopkins will try to rough up Pascal and I do see Pascal doing well the first few rounds but as the fight goes on Hopkins will pull away and take the decision.
I'm not saying put all your money on Hopkins. I just see a lot of value in taking Hopkins +225.
Happy Thanksgiving and hope everyone makes some money for the rest of the year.
Oh yeah the only thing that really concerns me is that the fight is in Pascal's hometown...but I think Hopkins can win this pretty clearly that even the judges can't rob him.

I think I pretty much called it
How often do judges even score 10-10 rounds. I heard one of the judges gave couple of those in the fight. And then I hear something about white out on the scorecards. Hopkins gets a draw and Pacquiao vs. mosley is next..something is definitely wrong with boxing
