    And it turned out to be a draw.

    Hopkins should be proud of the draw and Pascal should be ashamed of it, but a draw is a fair decision.

    This

    It was a great fight, Hopkins should be proud for beating Pascal to a draw IN HIS HOMETOWN.

    Also, f*** Quebec, f*** Germany, all fights should take place in Las Vegas from now on.

    Well hopkins getting the draw would be like maidana getting a draw vs khan in my opinion, he won that fight 114-112 even if you score 1 round even its 114-113, he won, close but clear.

    But said in your OP that a draw was a fair decision? Why are lashing out at Quebec?

    Because of the stigma that gets attached to the decision (forever) when it is given in the hometown of one of the fighters.

    Had this been on a neutral location, people would be more inclined to believe the decision as fair.

    I had Pascal winning 1-3, with 5 being even. The rest was Hopkins.

    115-112 (114-113 if I were to give the fifth to Pascal.)
