    Boxing has not had a trilogy in a while

    these guys have the close fights

    the drama

    the bad blood

    the respect

    I would be extremely interested in a 3rd bout I know many feel Hopkins dominated both bouts but I think Pascal is a very interesting opponent vs Bernard

    I had fight one a draw the 2 KD's being instrumental

    I had fight two a draw the lack of the 2 KD's being instrumental

    both men landed bombs last night Pascal had Hopkins very hurt at 2 times

    Hopkins hit him with some real clean shots but I didnt think he had him all that hurt

    the second fight had the drama the taunting the mind games the show of bravado and balls

    Fight 1 was clearly more entertaining by a stretch but fight 2 was interesting though not as action packed the ebb and flow and mind games and nerves were interesting

    after 5 it looked like Pascal was in his head was moving well and was clearly ahead i thought he was gonna win

    Hopkins tied it after 8 and then had a 2 point lead after 10

    I thought Pascal won the 11th a close round but I leaned toward power and he obviously won the 12th

    I had two draws in two interesting bouts

    Anybody interested in a 3rd bout?

    Who else could Hopkins really fight and draw interest against?

    Or should he just retire riding high

    Hopkins, in my opinion, won both fights and I'm sure many will agree that he won the first. A third fight is pointless.

    No thanks. Pascal needs to move on, we're getting the Pac-JMM trilogy this year, thats enough for me.

    This.

    Lets see him fight Bute or have a unification with Shumenov...who are both beatable imo.

    If Hopkins beats DAwson and Pascal beats Cloud, bring on a trilogy.

    Nah, Hops beat him twice IMO, second time worse than the first. No need for a rematch, Hops has bigger plans.

    Unless Hops gets old overnight Pascal will never beat him, too one dimensional and no plan B.

    For what? Kid is 28, and gets very tired by the 4th rd. It's crazy he even came that far with such a flawed game.
