To close to call at the minute IMO.

Pavlik by SD i think. Pavlik has huge knock out power but there's no way he's knocking out Hopkins. Hopkins will box smart and make Pavlik work hard but i think Pavlik will get the victory.

I can see it being a SD as well

I really can't say at this moment, especially with the catch weight. I honestly wouldn't know who to put my money on.

B-Hop by split decision.

This is a pretty risky fight for Hopkins, I don't think he can win. I thought it was pretty clear he lost to Calzaghe too. It hurts me to see him take this fight as I had the pleasure of training alongside him at my gym in Miami. He trained for several fights there and he's amazing to watch and listen to.

WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik and "the Executioner" Bernard Hopkins faced off today at a press conference for their October 18 pay-per-view clash at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. At podium, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer called Hopkins "the Ghostbuster." Hopkins stated, "I never thought we would fight - I've always been a Pavlik fan - watching his fights against Miranda and Taylor. Yes, kelly has a punch but so do a lot of others who I have fought. I have nothing bad to say about Kelly - but I am going in to win." Pavlik commented, "He's still dangerous, tricky and I am going up against a Hall of Famer. I'm taking the fight very seriously. Boxing fans want to see big fights and this is a big one."
