Hopkins vs. Pascal Fight Thread

[Kev]

Well Pascal thinks he won the fight and offers a rematch.

I want to see this again, but in the states next time.

"We got fair judges here in Canada."

Right ... what a bummer.

Hopkins done good. Glass raised to him.

[CFH]

I feel the same way about this fight as I do about the Calzaghe fight - it was a close, but clear, win for Hopkins.

[SalTheButcher]

I'm okay with the draw.

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

is he really rated highly outside of canada?

Hopkins, Jesus. 45 years old and fighting like that!?

Only one of the judges was from Canada. I don;t think Canada is worse than any other nation for scoring, it's just the only time there is a big fight in Montreal it's involving a fighter from Montreal. It's just typical hometown bullshit.

This is way different than calzaghe hopkins to me, pascal was acting like hopkins was in that fight, not throwing shit for the most part and being dirty....and had calzaghe winning that easy, this hop took for me by 2 or 3 points, he basically dominated pascal for all but 3 rounds

The difference between Pascal and Hopkins in those two fights is that in both cases Hopkins was landing the cleaner, more effective punches.

I don't think the decision was terrible.

I think emotionally we all wanted Hopkins to pull it off and the judges agreed he very nearly did.

I'd like to see the scorecards though.

I hope they fight again, without the knockdowns that was just a dominantly one sided win

[ruthless rocco]

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.

Again, we are in complete agreement. I wonder if I've suffered a mild stroke or something...

I'd love to see the cards too.

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.

Yeah, agreed. This was fair enough in terms of the mechanics of the matter. I guess. That first knockdown did look back-of-the-headish. Take that point away ...

Really glad for Hopkins that he performed so well, and glad to have been able to see it. (Thanks again arim!). Would have been nice to see a victory. One point difference by one of the judges. Durn!
