Hopkins vs. Pascal Fight Thread

The old veteran educated the young talent. :cool: I think the X-Bad Boy showed Pascal the true strength of hardened experience and shocked him into exhaustion in the later half; B-Hop really looked like he was in his prime again. Great fights in December.

As I said in another thread - for all the moaning and groaning Van De Wiele did Hopkins a big favour by scoring round one 10-9.

Not really, if you win a round and get a flash knockdown at the end, it's alright to score a 10-9. Fact.

???
Says who? Based on what??

Happens alot. KD's fortunately do not mean mandatory 10-8 rounds, especially flash ones resulting in little to no damage in an otherwise even or uneventful round.

Oh well, you learn something new everyday! ;D

I wonder how that little gem has affected fights with multiple flash knockdowns from both fighters..?
I mean, in those circumstances, I wonder if the judges look at each KD seperately or if after the 1st one or two KD's they then reconsider the validity of each one there after?

Surprised at this result, Hopkins is a top fighter, really thought he was going to be convincingly beat.
