I will never lose to another white boy!
all that being said this is an interesting matchup.

What do you think that Pavlik is? What is his weight class? What region of the country is he from? Doesn't he fall into the category you said?
Nah, in all seriousness I'm not really sure why this fight is being made, what does it do for Pavlik now that Nard has been unseated as the champ at 175? Even with all the career steam that Pavlik has going I will still be surprised if this does many buys on PPV? This makes no sense to me. Hopefully we get Pavlik-Abraham sooner than later.

def agree, fight makes little sense other than a couple promoters thinking they'll get a few ppv buys and turn a small buck.

Hop is great value here, I played him +325 already. Pavlik is predictable in both movement and punching patterns, he doesn't have the angles or volume or speed of Calzaghe, and is less experienced.
The line for this fight should be closer than vs Calzaghe. Pavlik is moving up to 170lbs and has never faced anyone like Hop. Hop landed the better punches vs Calzaghe but just couldn't keep up with Zag's output and lost as a result. Calzaghe did a good job of keeping a distance and avoiding the clinch, which emphasized his combinations to the judges, even though they had little effect. I don't think Pavlik is capable of doing the same, this should be an ugly fight with Hopkins landed the better punches at every corner of the ring.
That said, the logical outcome is Pavlik SD based on volume alone, and the fact that he's a young caucasian with crossover appeal, I doubt anyone wants him to lose to a 43-year-old racist convict. But +325 is a steal.

If anyone wants to read a good feature on Pavlik, check out the latest issue of Ring. It's a lengthy interview with him and his dad. Money and fame really haven't changed Kelly at all, he is still living in his 1100 square foot house.
Yep, read it, too. Good guy all the way. Easy to get behind him. Blue collar work ethic in life, blue collar work rate in the ring--------he doesn't duck anyone.

Look for Pavlik to stay back and aim for Benard's arms and shoulders to try and wear Benard down.
Has Benard ever been knocked out?
Wouldn't want to see Kelly in a Hop vs Cal Rd. 1.

Pavs volume is different then Joe Cals every punch Pav throws is to hurt you and the guy dont stop.Pavs a training beast and is one of the most in shape fighter you will see let B Hop shut down like he did against Cal he will get knocked out. Im predicting a 7 rnd KO and a retirement of B-Hop.
You're funny .
No one has ever landed enough flush shots to KO Hopkins and you think Pavlik will? Keep dreaming !!
Hopkins may not have as much punch output anymore but he still has the best defense in the game

Hopkins punch output
this is getting more than a tad silly. pavlik has never been in the ring with anyone like hopkins, if this fight happened 7-8 years ago it would be a total schooling. now its pavlik's edge b/c of punch output.
i was wrong to take hop +325, hes up to +350 elsewhere, im surprised.
I re-watched Hop-Calzaghe and gave Hop more rounds that I did the 1st time, either a draw or a win for him by 1 point. The problem is he just couldnt match Calzaghe's output. So even thought he landed the better shots during the exchanges, the fact that Calzaghe threw 5 to his 2 gave the impression calzaghe was controlling the fight. Pavlik is easier to figure out, I expect Hop to expend less mental energy and feel more confident in his gameplan.
That said, Pav UD 115-113 ish, but +350 value on Hop is terrific.
