    Big congratulations to Froch. He walked through absolutely everything and refused to be fazed.

    I had it 115-113 Froch, and yeah at least two of the judges were way too harsh on Pascal. But the right guy won the decision.

    Pissed off abou the wide scorecards, but yeay, Froch deserved it.

    Pascal made me a fan as well, lots of heart.

    Made up Froch did it, looked a great fight from what I saw, I was constantly flicking between this and the Harrison-Rogan fight!

    Absolutely horrendous scoring. I had Froch the winner by local bias :) and the slightly harder shots.

    This was a GREAT TV fight and pisses all over that shoddy PPV by Warren. C`mon Hennesy!!!!!

    I think anything between 116-112 and 115-114 is OK, I had it 116-113.

    It wasn't Hagler-Hearns, more Benn - Eubank I or Hatton - Tszyu

    I cant understand all the "it was close" stuff, it was early on but Froch controlled it from the 7th or might of been the 8th, comfortable winner. Great fight

    feisty one weren't it. :yep

    gotta be honest i tipped pascal.

    early on i thought i might be right.

    but froch's chin and stamina were there for all to see.

    he dominated the 2nd half of the fight. :bbb

    i still think the best guys at 168 will beat him.

    but froch is right in the mix now. :thumbsup

    I had Froch winning by a couple of rounds, very good fight.
    Was not impressed by Froch though, if he gets in with a better quality fighter (Kessler for example) I think he'd be schooled.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch!

    Plus is Froch's chin in the category Margarito's is and his defence in Khan's category. :)
