Jean Pascal What A Warrior.

It's a bit rich that such is the hate for Froch they seem to regard Pascal's defeat being due to inexperience rather Froch fighting a great fight.

I don't hate Carl Froch at all, infact before Carl Froch had the wins on his record. I was saying he was very unlucky not to get the right fights, because at that time the fight with Denis Inkin got canceled, and he couldn't seal the deal with a top fighter.

I admire that he does fight the best. But i do hate his boxing style, if you can call it that. But i admire his balls and determination, and he did have a great fight with Jean Pascal, and both men showed great heart.

All im saying is that Jean Pascal has improved now IMO, and now he's become champion he's got more experience. I think he fought the wrong fight last time, and if he uses his speed, reflexes, athletism, i think he takes Carl Froch IMO.

Actually, I prefer Froch to Jean Pascal big time for many reasons, including Jean Pascal's big mouth. Froch did win the first fight clean and right, no excuses at all, it was a kind of close fight but Froch legitimately got the W under his belt. HOwever, would he rematch with Pascal, I feel that the fight could go the other way. NOt saying it would, but most definitely, it could.

I was impressed with Pascal in the Froch fight but that injury ICB states sounds career threatening.

good news for the interested: Luxation de l'épaule droite pour Pascal - RDS.ca

JEan Pascal' injury is a shoulder dislocation, apparently from the article, it takes a minor surgery to fix it and Jean Pascal will be able to fight around may and according to his promoter Yvon Michel, this is really not a career threat injury.

I really hope it's not but hey, Pascal could always become a poker player. You smack him in the face and his expression is like a guy reading the Sunday paper, he would own all poker players

I don't really see anything rich about this..Froch isn't a guy who is about to alter his "style" or make any adjustments for one specific fighter, he pretty well is what he is, he never seems intent on actually executing a game plan.

To say he fought a great fight is pretty well just acknowledging he did the best he could have.

Pascal on the other hand has a lot more natural talent and athletecism, much better punching technique, and had no experience against even good fighters before going to war with Froch. You can point to a lot of things he could do better in a rematch, which isn't remotely the case with Froch. I can't imagine Pascal wouldn't be the favourite if the two were going to do it again.

I'll grant you there is probably some hate for Froch, really wouldn't know myself, but the fact is he lost his last fight, and looked incredibly pedestrian. Had the decision gone the right way even his most ardent supporters would probably accept his shortcomings more easily, I think that's a bit rich myself.
