Pascal beats Diaconu

[Kev]

I thought he looked great against Froch so I knew he had class.

At least we now have a legit opponent for Chad Dawson, and maybe afterwards the winner can have Froch.

Imo Froch (who should be p4p number 7 in place of Donaire) now is unbeatable from 160 to 175.

I'm hoping he gets to retire Hopkins later in the year but failing that finishing what Andrade started against Bute would be a nice way to round out the year.

LOL Froch P4P? Seriously ? This is the guy that was being schooled until the 12th round against Taylor. Sure he won, but hes no way near the top 20 even. Hopkins schools him if they would fight this year

No you are misunderstood, Carl 'the Cobra' Froch is the truth, he's unbeatable from 160 to 175 lbs.

Only Anthony 'The Man' Mundine gives him any trouble.

He would destroy Popkins.

Hope that clears it up for you.

froch was schooling taylor in the latter rounds.

Hopefully Pascal can establish himself as a top 175 so Dawson can have a natural rival. Anway its good to have a young champ in that divison.

It was a really enjoyable fight. My second proper look at Pascal actually, and apart from leaving his hands down too much seems to have a lot of good all round skills.

I felt the same as CFH. That Pascal would last the distance only to lose out on a close UD. I was hoping I was wrong though, because I think Pascal is a very gutsy fighter who is proving extremely watchable. I'm happy for him. I think him vs. Yusaf Mack would be a cracking tear up.

I'm not sold on Froch, but no way was he 'Schooled' infact he would've atleast been worth a draw with a 10-7 last round (which is what he would have got had Taylor survived

IMO losing 8 rounds straight, and yes Froch lost 8 rnds straight, plus an extra point for the knockdown by Taylor in the 3rd, and there is no way possible Froch would have won or even gotten a draw, IMO he was getting a boxing lesson until Taylor tired, and was able to capatalize on it, and i applaud him for it, but he's hardly unbeatable from 168 on up

Pascal isn't that good. On boxrec (who's rankings are never wrong) he is number 9.

I'd have him about 4 or 5. Why is boxrec so shit at rankings?

I included links incase you need to fing out who soame of the people are.

If you think Taylor one all of the 1st 8 rounds you have lost any credibility in how to score a fight

No way did Froch loose the first 8 rounds, when i watched it live on line i thought Froch was totally outboxed, but when i re watched it on TV, it was a very very close fight if Taylor would of survived that last round I think I had it Taylor by 1 point but thats with a 10-8 last round not 10-7 so like I say very close fight.

The Pascal win is looking very good now.

I've only seen the fight once, but i thought it was something like 7 rounds to 1 to Jermain Taylor in the first 8 rounds. With Carl Froch winning the last 3 rounds or so.

Even if it had gone to the scorecards it would of been reasonably close, because Jermain Taylor would of visited the canvas a 2nd time before he made the final bell. And that would of been a 3 point round, added to the 4 other rounds Carl Froch won.

seen the fight only once that being the actual night of the fight, but Taylor was well ahead going into the last round, although the tide was turning due to Taylor's stamina, i remember that if Taylor would have made it out of the final round he would have won by about 2 points, but Taylor CLEARLY won the early rounds and quite easily at that, Froch is no ring technician
