Didn't the younger, harder punching Froch bring more real pressure and danger? Did Pascal think he had enough points in the bag due to the KDs? (Kinda like the last round or 2 of ODLH vs Tito.) Or other?
Because Froch vs. Pascal was a war. Both guys just throwing punches. Hopkins vs. Pascal was much different. Hopkins shut down most of Pascal's offense, and then he slugged away. There's a big difference between a slugger slugging and a boxer slugging.
