    Anybody watching this one tonight? I don't have Showtime, but I'm hoping to find a stream of it. I'll be the first to admit I haven't heard a lot about this fight, so I'm not sure who is expected to come out on top here. I just know that Hopkins is an old man now so I'm not expecting a whole lot from him. Anyone got a breakdown of what to expect with this one?

    Thanks man. Found that same feed on atdhe and channelsurfing. Looks to be some low budget Canadian feed. Was hoping to find a Showtime feed, but no luck yet. Let me know if you come across it.

    Unless of course that is the Showtime feed. In that case, I can see why HBO gets all the good fights these days. Sent some rep your way for the link. :)

    BS decision, I had Hopkins winning 8 rounds to 4, which is 114-112 with the knockdowns. Maybe even 9 rounds to 3. Hopkins really deserved this one, especially since this may be his last chance.

    Controversy: There is white out on two spots on the official scorecard. Looking at original now.

    What I'm seeing, someone whited out the eighth round in Canadian judge card. Bernard would have won the fight

    I'm hoping BHop can turn back the clock one more time. He shouldn't have any trouble outboxing Pascal as long as he stays away from Jean's last 30 second flurries and doesn't get knocked down. Plus, Pascal gasses in every fight. BHop 7-5 or 8-4

    Usually rematches are not as good as the original, mainly because neither fighter wants a repeat of the previous battle and especially the guy with the better boxing skills, finds a way to box rather than slug.

    This fight might be different because Hopkins is 46 and Pascal needs a convincing win.

    I'm going with Hopkins -- he shocked me last fight after his terrible performance against Roy Jr. Hopkins won the last fight and was really fighting all out -- something you rarely see from Bernard.

    Roy Jones is going to be drooling at a nursing home in about 10 years.
