    I didn't feel the KD in the 12th was legit. Yes Pascal was hurt. However, his balance has never been the greatest and he's thrown himself over a number of times during his career after loading up like a maniac with a big hook. He even did it earlier on in the fight and he did the same in the 4th round against Bivol.

    I'd say he perfectly fits the profile. Same thing over and over and then throws a fit when the judges "rob" him.

    I thought the same till I saw the clip of him hitting not 1 but 2 Refs? I wonder how many times his woman has to tell him, 'wrong hole again fool!"'

    It was a very winnable fight for him. I didn't score it but thought he took control of the second half of the fight, after a (as usual) slow start. His bad luck was his own doing. He probably should've won but he "would've" had he put the pedal to the floor earlier. I don't think Pascal "won", I think Jack snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with his horrendous start.

    Jack didn't do enough for me. Pascal won it. Fair play for the late career resurgence.. he's overdue a loss again but he's had a quality career.
