i was at the fight and thought Pascal won clearly

Exactly what happened to Pascal, but the ref called it a slip....atsch

 

I personnally expected Hopkins to win by 1 round. A draw on 2 cards is not far from that, and I was only watching on TV.

I don't have any problem with anyone thinking that Hopkins won. I just don't think we can call that a robbery. It's a draw on 2 judges cards and a victory on the other's. One single round made the difference. That's not a robbery.

 

Its not a robbery, its a close fight, but Hopkins should have win his one. Make the fight at any other place in the world and Hopkins win.

 

Far from being a robbery and a fight difficult to score. I was there as well not too far from the ring and saw it a very close fight that could have gone either way. A draw, thought disappointing, is a decent decision.

Clearly behind the head!

 

Clearly on the ear.

 

Now this guy has some ****ING COMMON SENSE! Excellent post.

ESB has always been full of a bunch of know nothing loud mouths.

And I also want to say THANK GOD for Cuchulain SHOWING THAT THE FIRST KNOCKDOWN WAS NOT AN ILLEGAL SHOT!

You people NEED TO STOP DRINKING THE KOOL AID! And or get a pair of glasses!

 

On the one hand I scored it a draw but I also felt sorry for Hopkins because I think he was easily the better man in the fight.

If you took the 2 KD's out I would have had it 9-3 for Hopkins however I don't think he was winning the 1st or the 3rd clearly enough to only award the rounds a 10-9 for Pascal, so you had 2 10-8 rounds and I had Pascal winning the 2nd which meant Hopkins was 5 points behind going in to the 4th, he done great to pull it back but I had Pascal edging the 12th and the 8th(I think) which brought it to 113-113.

 

I really don't get it either.

Pascal floors his ass twice(really 3) and clearly wins the first half of the fight and 2 or 3 of the later rounds.

With that being said how is it not a robbery for Pascal?

Hopkins had a blazing 12th round finished and in an effort to convince the judges and fans raised his arms as if he won the ****ing fight. Well he didnt. Not even ****ing close.
Infact I would say Pascal beat Hopkins much, much more clearly than Calzaghe did.

Bernard Hopkins pulled a Jedi mind trick and everyone is ****ing falling for it. Dude got beat the **** up by Pascal, except for the 12th round.

 

I'm with you on the highlighted. There are some in this forum who scored one or both of the knockdown rounds 10-9, with their rationale being that Hopkins was winning those rounds.......
......clearly both the 1st and the 3rd rounds were up for grabs heading into the final minute when the knockdowns occured...and that only tilts the round in Pascal's favor, it gives him the extra point for the knockdown as well.


Now, if Hopkins would have been winning any of those rounds in dominant fashion, there is good reason to score it 10-9 Pascal, or even 10-10 if Hopkins had been laying it thick and really shellaking Pascal at the time of the knockdown.
.....that however was'nt happening. If Hopkins had the edge in the round before the knockdowns, it was razor thin, thus meriting a score of 10-8 when the knockdown occured.

 

Did you watch the fight yet?
