    Had really good seats too. It was close but i was surprised when the decision was announced. Especially 114-112 for Bhop. No way! Anyways it was a great fight and a great night. Imo fight of the year

    Maybe the view, and atmosphere caused you to see a different fight.

    From the 5th on Hopkins won all the rounds, almost easily. I honestly feel 114-112 for Bhop is fair, in other words, 8 rounds to 4.

    But when you get knocked down twice, away from home, Hopkins of all people should know winning a few extra rounds sometime just isn't enough to walk away with the decision.

    I don't think there was a CLEAR winner last night. If a fighter did get a SD, it would be as disputed as the draw.

    You must have been drunk. Pascal got schooled from round 4 onwards.

    You got hyped up with the crowd perhaps, pascal was doing well early on but from round 5 on b-hop took him to school and nearly won every round 114-112 b-hop was my card and the one of many people, rewatch it and with the sound off and look if b-hop lost.
    There is a reason why pascal was looking like his puppy died when the final bell rang.

    You guys might say i was influenced by the atmosphere, but maybe TV viewers were influenced by the commentators. Either it doesn't matter i am just saying my reaction when it was announced a draw was disbelief cause it felt from the floor that Pascal won clearly.

    My speakers werent broke, but I couldnt understand my announcers (french), so I just had the sound off.

    I believe from the 5th on Hopkins swept it.

    Please watch the fight again.
    Hopkins actually schooled him round 4 onwards. The scorecards were obviously close, but there was a CLEAR winner and thats Bernard Hopkins

    I watched it with Polish commentary, didn't understand a word and had Hopkins winning clearly.
