After essentially two schoolings from Bernard, where does Pascal go from here ?
I think he learns to THROW MORE FUCKING PUNCHES, and comes back better.

After essentially two schoolings from Bernard, where does Pascal go from here ?
I think he learns to THROW MORE FUCKING PUNCHES, and comes back better.
In his other fights apart from the Hopkins 1s he has alwys been exciting and gives the fans and tv guys plenty of action.I think Hopkins took his offence off him and he lost his way.
He will have another shot without a dout.
He's 28-29 and I suspect he is what he is at this point. But in a crap division once BHOP moves on it may well be enough to get him back there. I sure don't see any insurmountable obstacles.
I think he gets another belt for sure. He's young and i'm sure another chance will come along soon.
If Dawson gets another title and Pascal gets a rematch then Pascal beats him again;D
I've watched Pascal since he was fighting Darnell Boone on FNF.
He is a very fast fighter, and has great heart. He's a talented guy.
Like others said, Bernard just took his offense away from him, but Pascal was also very hesitant to throw.
Pascal always fights in spurts, but still, he didn't throw much against B-hop.
I think Pascal will be light heavyweight champ again. I like him better than Dawson.
Would love to see Pascal vs. Tarvoris Cloud. That would be a real tough fight for Pascal. Could get himself KO'd.
I think he will but he needs to change up though. He's to eager to please and ends up blowing his wad. I personally think he needs a trainer change. They are putting on a full court press trying to get Cloud. That's a winnable fight for Pascal if he changes his approach. I think they will try to get this on the under-card of Hop/Dawson.
Pascal vs Froch would be a great rematch. Or let him fight Bute.
Bute has no plans to go to 175 as he has a contract with Showtime to meet the winner of the S6. Showtime also promised Kessler a crack at the winner also. So that should be interesting. Kessler will try to insert his Emeritus status.Quote:

He might have taken more damage mentally than physically in some ways. The 2nd go especially he was just way to square, hook happy and uncertain, no imagination and little arsenal in form of straight shots. We'll have to see how he rebounds and comes back from getting smacked around by Senior citizens.
Actually, there's some talking about Pascal again the winner of Tavoris Cloud VS Yusaf Mack for November in Bell center (Source : CKAC.com).
If that happen, it will be an interesting fight.
Yusaf Mack ?Quote:

Maybe, but his last performance was a bit shitty and it was against someone that a 28 year old shouldn't be having that much trouble with. Stick B Hop in with someone who is active for 12 and then see what happens.
Well yeah, for me it seem pretty obvious that Cloud will win this fight. Still, Mack won't be a walk in the park.Quote:

I think Pascal will get chances to get another belt hell they're already talking about a match vs Cloud, that's a shot right there!
I think Cloud is too tough for him, but I could be mistaken. Cloud has to get past Mack first and Yusaf can punch a good bit.
One thing is for sure, they could hold a Cloud-Pascal fight in a phone booth! It would be a FOTY candidate for sure!

Froch has already said he would like to fight Cleverly at LH in the future.
Pascal should learn to box, he looked amateurish with the wide punches he was throwing. I did not recognise Pascal in the Hopkins fight, he was not active enough and missed loads. Pascal had a war with Froch and beat Dawson too.
Why would he even mention Cleverly? He has the real potential here to become the undisputed champ at 168 regardless of how many belts he owns. Theirs rematches at 168 after this tourney, a fight with Bute and a boat load of money to stay put. Sure theirs some cash in fighting Nathan domestically and then what? I'm sure Carl could make 175 as he walks around pretty close to 168 in between fights but to me should he win this thing and I think he can, it would be a terrible business move. He should forget about Calzaghe because imo emotionally, that's what fighting Cleverly is all about.Quote:

Hopkins out psyched Pascal and Pascal has to get some more experience and he learned quite a bit from B-HOP. He will have to look at the film and start over. He wasn't all bad, just out fought, and out thought by what we have to now recognize as a master at 46 Bernard Hopkins. I never liked B-Hop but now I respect his abilities and that is what makes a true champion, not his personality but his abilities and his drive.
