Jobbed against Taylor, jobbed against Calzaghe, now robbed against Pascal!

8, 10 and definately the 12th were not his rounds.......


How the **** can you score the 12th for bhop....he was eating leather all round while looking sluggish and missing his own shots

 

When you include Calzaghe in there its a bit ridiculous, and he did clearly lose to Taylor in the 2nd fight.

 

Of those fights, this is the one where Hopkins made the strongest case that he won. But he lost against Calzgahe and his two fights with JT were super close.

 

Let me just add that Hopkins fights are super tough to score because there is very little action so you have to judge rounds based on a few punches here and there. That makes scoring so, so subjective.

 

Another thing is that though the Hopkins of now is known to do little, what he does throw is usually effective. In his prime he had a much higher workrate and didn't really go by decisions just ko's.

 

He should have won both Taylor 2 and the calslappy fight. Both were close. Slappy Joe looked as bad as I've ever seen a "world class" fighter look in that fight.

 

true. and very boring too.

 

I thought he definitely beat Pascal and also beat Taylor once. Calzaghe fight was very close. Maybe a draw is the best I can give Bernard in the Calzaghe fight. Getting tired in the 2nd half of the Calz fight probably lost him that one but hey, he was 43 then. Bernard is an amazing fighter.

 

Had Hopkins winning by a point or two. The 5th seemed like Pascal's and the 12th was close, but Bernard was doing the better work.

 

Yes b/c Hopkins all he did after the first few rounds was run and hold, and try to deliver butts. How was he supposed to look good? It was an easy call to Joe. The Taylor fights were close but like the Calzaghe fights Bernard was too defensive and did clearly lose the 2nd one.

 

I can't believe some of these French nuthuggers trying to score it for Pascal on here. :rofl
