Hopkins vs Pascal II

[ElTerribleMorales]

DAMN STRAIGHT! and he did it in Pascal's backyard to boot, Bernard Hopkins truly is one of the sports greatest fighters

[ICB]

The scores (outside of the 116-112) were too close but congrats to the judges for finally getting it right.

I thought Jean Pascal won the last 2 rounds making it closer, i had it 7-5 for B-Hop but there's no doubt who the winner was.

EDIT....I am exceptionally under the influence tonight and if at any point I offended fellow members, then it is your right to be offended Feel like we've peaked in this game....love this sport

[No Contest]

I will never watch that bullshit fucking romanian sopcats, ro sports is fucking bullshit. I recommend nobody watch that sopcast ever in the future, what a bunch of bullshit!

[Youngblood]

You can dislike Bhop, you can even hate him. But you absolutely have to respect the man in the ring. He put on another masterclass. Officially a legend, and 46 yrs old. Crazy stuff.

As much as I dislike Hopkins, this was an amazing win for him, especially with him being 46 and the fight being in Montreal.

Pascal has nothing to be ashamed of, who would have dreamed Hop had this much left in the tank at 46.

Having said that, hopefully this will be Hopkins' last fight as a pro, I have no interest in ever seeing him fight again.

[No Contest]

Pascal is still classy in my book, but raw.

Anyone watching this on HBO? They showed the oldest champions in sports history comparing Hopkins achievement to a golf pro, tennis player and horse jockey. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Hopkins is a BOXER! This achievement DESTROYS those other ones!

Lampley is about to cry...

I still say it was a relatively close fight. Hopkins deserved the win and jolly good for him, but at no point was it a schooling or anything like that. Pascal doesn't throw more than 20 punches a round, you would expect Hopkins to be able to outwork him, even if he is 46.

I think what it shows more than anything is how average Pascal really is. He can punch hard, but he is lazy and takes so much time off in a 12 round fight.

Let's see Hopkins try and do that against Dawson.

[No Contest]

Just want to say, never watch the ro.sports sopcast, they cut off in the end of the tenth. Dont waste your time with that bullshit.

No, I think a physical sport like tennis is quite comparable. But yeah walking aorund with a stick and sitting on a horse? They are silly comparisons.

might not be able to do it against Dawson but he'll be able to do it against another name that's been floating around in Carl Froch

Navritalova won her world titles late in her career in mixed doubles. I don't know if you follow tennis or not but she was always carried by her partner.

Dont count on it. If all else fails he can settle on tri-match and school Pascal again...who knows
