“It’s about time for a new era, I’m the new kid on the block…You’re gonna school me? I already have a college diploma.” – Jean Pascal
Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal have hit the road to promote their light-heavyweight title fight on December 18. In this footage from their Quebec City stop, Hopkins frames Pascal as another in the long line of young challengers he’s overcome like Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor. Although Hopkins lost twice to Taylor, he boasts that Taylor was “never the same” following their series. He promised to take Pascal to school and prove he’s still the best at light-heavyweight. Pascal had a nice comeback on the school comment, running down his excellent high school grades, and even bringing a copy of his college diploma.
Very intriguing fight. B-Hop signed for this very quickly, so I know he sees something in Pascal’s style he can exploit. In contrast, note how Hopkins did not express much interest in facing Chad Dawson (a fast southpaw who would’ve potshotted Hopkins and not allowed him to work up close). I believe Hopkins feels confident he can control the pace because Pascal fights in spurts.
Showtime will air this WBC championship bout live from Quebec City. Kudos to the Montreal Gazette for the below footage.
Beats, Boxing and Mayhem 
Quebec is afraid to look at it’s own dark side and needs first to get it’s own house in order. The Quebec governments, politicians, police, administrators certainly are still too soft on dealing with crimes, inadequacies so is the federal government. Imagine this thousands of people do now die in Hospitals per year because of the Hospitals inadequacies and it still basically is allowed to happen.. even cause not too much is being done about it still too. People even die waiting in the emergency wards for years now too. Arrest the Premier, Health Minister, Hospital director, the Quebec Ombudsman, and the main Doctor at the Hospital, emergency room for criminal neglect of a sick person, after all they know about the problems for a long time and they did nothing good about it. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/t…
