18-12-10 Showtime Boxing Live from Colisee Pepsi, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It is going to be one of the best boxing in 2010. Boxing lovers are impatiently waiting for this night. Let's start watching live stream here.
1. Jean Pascal (26-1)
Pascal fought the fight of his life as he dismantled the heavily favored Chad Dawson for a clear points win in an 11-round technical decision Aug. 14 to retain his alphabet belt and claim the division's lineal title. He owes Dawson an eventual rematch, but for his interim bout Pascal will face Bernard Hopkins in Quebec City. Hopkins might be old, but he's still dangerous.
2. Bernard Hopkins (51-5-1)
Coming off a win in a horrid fight against Roy Jones Jr. in April -- 17 years after their first encounter -- Hopkins will head to Pascal's turf in Quebec City to challenge for the title, just a few weeks shy of his 46th birthday. The best part of the fight for fans is that it was moved to Showtime after originally being scheduled as a Showtime pay-per-view.
