I'm okay with the draw.

But I must say Pascal is overrated. Hes got average boxing skills.

i'm very disappointed with pascal's performance. bernard won the fight without question... but pascal should take the rematch because he's a much better fighter than he showed tonight. he can only do better the second time around and bernard will probably do equally well or worse. if pascal come out focused and with a solid plan then i think he should be able to stop hopkins.

Some US writers got (or had) him as 2010 fighter of the year front runner.

If he had beaten Hopkins I would have had him as the fighter of the year; however, after this it's Montiel for me.

I have Martinez as this years' foty.

I don't get why you picked him over Lucian Bute.

Pascal is very rugged. He's skills is crap. I've pointed that before.

Bute would knock his head off after round 6.

Yeah Pascal was held in very high regard imo. Diaconu was until he ran into Pascal considered the biggest threat at 175, and Dawson was tipped to be a future p4p star. Floyd Mayweather described Dawson as the most gifted fighter in the sport after himself.

Pascal is a very good fighter. I just think Hopkins is an all time great, no question.

Yes it was a robbery, it wasn't wide mathematically but that doesn't mean it wasn't a robbery. Because the rounds were very easy to score, there were no swing rounds. B-hop won 8 rounds, Jean Pascal won 4 rounds with 2 knockdown's, one of them being disputed according to some on here.

[somnolence]

Hopkins won the fight itself, and Pascal knew it, you could see it from his face. Incredible recovery from the early rounds. I expected the judges to give a home decision what with the knockdowns.
A draw seems fair. Really enjoyed it, Hopkins was fantastic, at 45 to recover and dominate the majority of the fight so much, after 3 I thought he was doomed.

[Deanrw]

Many of you have to realize, that Hopkins dug a big hole early.

Look at this this way. If you gave Pascal the first three rounds like I did and the 12th along with taking the knockdowns in consideration, all Pascal needed was 1 round between rounds 4 to 11 to make it a draw.

I actually scored it 113-113
