If one was scoring the press conference, you'd have to give the edge to Pascal (26-1 with 16 KOs; born in Haiti; age 28), the Canadian who floored Hopkins (51-5-2 with 32 KOs) twice in their December scrap, but let the 46 year old Philly hitter back into the bout, and was lucky to escape with a draw. He got under Hopkins' skin Monday, and made the vet lose his cool. "Are you willing to take the test?" he continued to rant. "Not for me, for the fans!"

Pascal oughta QUIT! B-Hop is a health nut. He doesn't need to take a test. Maybe Pascal oughta holla at da Genie Naazim. He is probably giving B-Hop G-side Meth. I heard dat jive keeps you some young for a long time and is better than the mythical Foundation of Youth. Whatever! I saw a gray hair in my bush and sipped me some of that FOY. WTF! It worked on my eyeballs, not my bush. I then saw about 10 BIG gray hairs hiding up in my bush. OMG! My meddling, spying-arse wife saw me hollering at the mirror and got a pair of tweezers. PLUCK! PLUCK! WTF! ZOOM! I took off like a muthabullet to the barbershop! And I got my doo darken. Moral of the story. Hair Color Gel is da BOMB! Holla! brownsugar says:
..**Funny story Radam,.. if I plucked out all my gray hair,.. I'd be half bald,..but strangly enough the bush has been unaffected by any gray...lol. but as Bhop would say,.. age is just a number ************Listen to these Two masters of rhetoric,.. hyperbole,.. and histrionics. If either one of them forgot thier lines they could just improvise and nobody would know the difference. This is a fighters life,.. whether it's real or make believe..the show must go on.... sounds like Bhop and Pascal are getting the show on the road early to insure a good turnout... the first fight wasn't bad.. if Hopkins wasn't so resilient he would've gotten blitzed.. starched before he even got warmed up... the Roast says:
LOL! Plucking the bush with tweezers? And I thought I was nuts! kapi says: as i could see it , there was no edge at all to Pascal over Hopkins , what i could see is a man – almost 20 years younger than his opponent screaming like only an headless chicken could scream if it had it’s head intact in an hypothetical world . amayseng says: i agree to above, pascal didnt get under hopkins skin, but hopkins is from the old school, your not gonna put your hands on him and talk down to him without him reacting.. Bobby C says: Bejeezus, guys! A little too much information about your grooming habits. I believe it's "Fountain" of youth, Radam. If you've been sipping the Foundation maybe that's the problem? Seriously, I am about as certain as I can be without blood evidence that B-Hop would never touch PEDs. At his age, he knows they can do more harm than good. He knows how to care for his body. I saw B-Hop training at the Wildcard years ago. He was calm and in control during his sparring sessions. Immediately after the workout, he layed down on a padded table for a thorough massage. Slim as he was, he looked like a sleeping giant. The guy knows how to relax, not eat too much and just how far to push his body. FighterforJC says: I think that Pascal may be on to something, that perhaps BHop is ON something. It's just the way Pascal went about it, came out of left field with that statement makes it seem like he knows something rather than simply playing mind games. He didn't go about it with any tact or eloquence. He just straight up said it. donputo69 says:
Lmfaooooooooooooo...Hopkins is on steroids...lmfaoooo...Who knows...Maybe he was on something when he beat my boy Trinidad...Come on man...46 years old and he still has a body of a 30 year old?....Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm...Pascal may be right....He's probably on something....Lmfaooooo....Holla back!!!

There was plenty of drama going into the May 21 Bernard Hopkins-Jean Pascal rematch, as fight fans are eager to see if the old man can school the youngster on his home turf to the point that this time, he gets the victory. The drama, though, got upped a notch after the two fighters got physical during a press conference in Montreal today.





pascal threw a punch during a press conference at an unexpecting 46 year old man and still couldn't connect...did he turn and run afterwards like he did for 9 rounds when hopkins was hitting his body? i did hear he gassed though and was slumped with his hands on his knees. pascal's mindset is concerning, if i were in his corner i would be very concerned that he actually thinks he won the first fight...i mean, the guy lost 10 rounds to a 46 year old man, hes 28, that is shameful. worse, pascal was gassed, and running away when getting hit to the body, i have never seen a champion run away when getting hit, he literally was running away....hopkins has him figured out, has his timing, speed and power all down, hopkins by 8th round tko
