B-Hop Vs Jean Pascal Spoilers.

[Gandalf]

Hopkins deserved the win, but a relatively close fight because of the KD's. Hopkins clearly won the majority of the rounds though. I was supporting Pascal, but he just wouldn't throw. He had no output whatsover from the 5th onwards. You cannot win a round by throwing 2 flashy punches whilst being outworked the rest of the time. That is why Calzaghe clearly beat Hopkins IMO and that is why Hopkins won here. He simply outworked his man and if the other man isn't throwing anything back, then it makes it a relatively easy round to score.

I just read the fightnews brief summary and they felt Pascal had a good round 5. I can't remember to be honest, but maybe that was a swing round. I will watch again tomorrow.

Hopkins definitely won most of the rounds, but the judges did indeed give him most of the rounds. Those knockdowns really put him in a hole though.

Im pretty tired so maybe i'll sleep on it, and view it tomorrow and make a better judgement. But i really thought B-Hop swept 8 rounds clearly.

It wasn't really a great fight by any means, it was just a lot better than expected.

I had Hopkins winning by 10-11 points with a lot of 10-8 rounds and a 10-7 in the seventh.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Full disclosure, I'm not sure I've ever scored a fight against Hopkins. Plus he's like 52 years old, come on. I had the 12th 10-9 Hopkins, Pascal earned some respect there.

Hahah I know completely what you mean.. I've been a sucker for Hopkins for years rlly, was completely choked he didn't get the nod in this.. He's freaking ancient and just beat a French Canadian half his age in his backyard. The knockdowns were hurtin to, weren't nearly as telling as any number of shots Hopkins landed on that punk ass.
