i think bernard hopkins was definitely robbed. like i said, americans cannot get a fair shake in canada, argentina or anywhere in asia. aside from those two flash knockdowns hopkins suffered, the fight wasn't even close. just goes to show how little boxing these idiot judges from canada know. this fight reminded me scoring wise of the marquez/pacquiao I fight. after that first round, marquez took the fight to pacquiao, out thought him, out worked him, out punched him, schooled him and still those blind judges ruled it a draw.
Klitschko vs Peter 1, Klitschko got knocked down 2 times in that fight and still won. Same thing here only B-hop was even more impressive. Hopkins won that fight but what can you do? Holyfield was robbed as well in that fight with that 7 foot heavyweight forget his name.
Pascal did relatively well through the first three rounds ( the knockdowns certainly helped) but Hopkins imo, went on to outland and outwork Pascal from the 4th round onwards.
You could make a case for Pascal taking a round between the 4th and 12th but that still means Hopkins wins.
Hopkins deserves a rematch asap.
Hopkins gave Pascal a boxing lesson and has been calling him out ever since.
If Pascal believes he won that fight, he should have no problem rematching Hopkins.
Hopkins won that fight and Pascal knows it. Pascal has said he would fight other boxers and then reneged before (Miranda), and I doubt his management is in a hurry to put him back in with Hopkins. Regardless, he's contractually obligated to give Dawson a rematch in his next fight and I fully expect Dawson to beat him this time around.
