Boxing News: Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal Odds: On Thursday it was announced that world light-heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins would make a title defense against flashy contender Jean Pascal. The explosive Pascal, 26-1, 16 KO’s was very impressive in his last fight against Chad Dawson to capture the W.B.C belt and should be able to push the aging Hopkins to his threshold. Hopkins, 51-5-1, 32 KO’s, successfully defended his belt in April against Roy Jones Jr. in an ugly foul fest. Below is a closer look at this ring legend vs. rising star match-up from our boxing picks team of experts.
The Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal Odds should favor Hopkins at -150 at BODOG.COM
Boxing Picks Analysis: Can the old bull hold off the young Haitian stallion is the question. The consummate pro Hopkins is a master at using the sweet science to his liking. Pascal has always shown an infinite amount of pure athleticism but his boxing acumen is still below the Hopkins Richter scale. B-Hop still has plenty left in the tank at age-45 and his speed and power are deceiving. Pascal’s power is on par with Hopkins but his combination punching and speed trump the older man’s by significant margins.

Hopkins is the slicker and wiser boxer and because of that our boxing picks staff believes that he should be favored. Pascal put on a fine performance against Dawson by showing some Roy Jones Jr. moves but Hopkins is a different animal all together. Hopkins could write a book on boxing if he wanted and all of the fast-twitch fibers in the land can’t compare to superior technique.
