Hopkins was robbed, had him winning clear 115-111 and that was with the two 10-8 rds for Pascal 1 pas 10-8 2 pas 10-9 3 pas 10-8 4 hop 10-9 5 hop 10-9 (only rd im unsure of and will need to rewatch as was being distracted but dont affect he outcome) 6 hop 10-9 7 hop 10-9 8 hop 10-9 9 hop 10-9 10 hop 10-9 11 hop 10-9 12 hop 10-9 115-111 I cant stand Hopkins either, ever since the Calzaghe fight and wanted Pascal to win pre fight.
Hopkins definitely won that fight. For a 46 year old, that was an awesome performance and he fought with honor and heart.
I dont care wht some people said that draw is best option.I felt terrible when they anounce decision.This was clear win for Hopkins.Look at Jean Pascal at the end of fight,look at his eyes that was face of looser.He knows he lost that fight and we all knows that old man is greatest light heavyweight today.
Whatever way you look at it Bernard was the moral winner. He dominated Pascal for the majority of the fight. Pascal looked bewidered after 4 rounds and had no answer to Hopkins, Pascal could not sustain an attack and was reduced to throwing one haymaker at a time. Hopkins dictated the pace, outworked the younger man,out punched,out fought and out thought him. Of course Hopkins was calling it a steal, he dominated his opponent. If it wasnt for the early knockdowns the result was beyond dispute. As it was, a draw was not a terrible result. But if theres ever a rematch Bernards the only winner. Pascal is not an elite class fighter and looses his way badly in fights, often switching off completly. Unlucky Bernard
life is tough bernard, robbed against taylor twice, calzaghe (in his opinion), and now against pascal. lets hope the injustice of it makes him retire and he takes his ignorant racist comments with him.
You don't school someone by getting Knocked down twice! of all the ****ing dumb things i've read on here. yes Pascal embarrased himself and fought at a pace that suited Hopkins. Can't take nothing away from B-hop but a draw was fair given the scoring of the KDs.
Can you read. I clearly stated the 1st KO was complete bull**** and scored incorrectly. Even in rd. 2 when bhop went down the othe rtime he dominated the rd. otherwise. It was a SCHOOLING like I just gave you son.
