    I watched the fight live and i scored it 115-113 pascal, totally unbiased being british as well.

    I felt that most of Frochs shots were being rolled with and parried off by Pascal who was countering and flurrying very accurately, landing clean and hard...

    I do tend to be biased towards the better technical, counter-punching styles in fights however, and i hate it when fighters win due to 'outworking' the other more technical fighter.

    Any opinions guys? :good

    I felt scorecards were too wide. But i agree with the decision.

    I had it 114-114.

    But no chance for Pascal to get a decision in Germany.

    I agree exactly with what Pascal said after the fight. The right person won, but the margin was a bit wide. On two cards at least.

    i had it 116-112 for Froch. I'm from Montreal and I had a bet riding on Pascal

    A Pascal victory would have been a robbery and a draw would have been very surprising and a huge stretch

    This was what I had it at as well. 116-112 or 117-111. Pascal gave an excellent accounting of himself and was in the rounds, I just felt Froch had more control of the fight, landed the harder blows, didn't really get bothered much by Pascal's shots and was dictating the action a bit more than Pascal.

    Pascal started very strong but I think after the 5th or 6th, can't remember which one, it was pretty much going Froch's way. Pascal looked like he was just hanging on at certain points. Froch had him stunned at times. Also, Froch had the much cleaner fight, Pascal was clinching and ducking a bit too much. He's also lucky not to have got into trouble for hitting Froch with a flurry after the bell during the early stages!

    Don't want to start a battle in this thread, but this is pretty much why Calzaghe gets his decisions.

    even in the highlights reel by ITV the shots froch landed were being parried and neutralised to a degree by Pascal IMO. Pascals shots were clear, Froch did show great chin.

    It WAS an intricate fight to score

    Pascal winning?! He said himself that the right man won. It was even up to the halfway point but Froch edged it by a few in the late rounds.

    Froch didn't land the harder punches in that fight. He landed more.. but the harder punches came from Pascal.

    Id disagree there. I would say Pascal landed the cleaner punches, but Froch landed the harder ones. He didn't have to hit Pascal with much to make his legs stiffen. Pascal hit Froch very flush and did little damage.
