ITV Big Fight Live rd by rd

That Pascal is one tough SOB. It seemed like I was watching two gladiators in there.

The style of this fight seemed amateurish but I believe both of them are top quality. You can never tell until both fight other top fighters but I think the quality was very high in there.

Froch is up there with the best.

 

Don't compare Froch's chin to Margarito's yet!!!

Pascal can bang a bit, but Froch still has to get in with punchers on a P4P par with Cintron and Cotto - and take shots whilst tapping his chin and laughing at them!!

 

Bitter? What you talking bout "Willis"? I had Froch the winner but not by the wide scoring on the judges card. When i said local bias i meant my own by the way and not those northern jocks.

 

yeah kessler would be favourite on that showing.

as would andre dirrell.

i'd tip froch to beat taylor on that showing though. :bbb

 

I am now a Pascal fan. The bloke has took defeat as a man, just as he fought like a man. Cracking fight, i have been looking forward to this for ages and it didn't let me down one bit.

Fair play to ITV as well:good

 

Pascal a real gent in the post fight interview....nice guy

 

High quality? A blind man could've seen most of them punches coming.
As a fight it was great, but for a show of boxing ability it was very low standard.

 

I wouldn't he's far too slow. He could possibly knock Taylor out, but I think Taylor would win a comfortable decision.

 

I thought Pascal's chin was supposed to be suspect. Is Froch as big a puncher as we thought?

 

Both showed excellent punch resistance. I'd never heard if Pascal had a weak chin or not, but he took everything Froch had to give him.

 

The quality levels dropped as it turned out to be a bit of a war. Froch can certainly display higher skill levels, reckon Pascal can too. Can't knock that fight though, they both thought they could battle their way through.


Pascal = top man, very honest in his interview.

 

Much like Haye, it's awesome when someone you've been able to watch on tv pretty much from the start (or near to it) over the years goes along and eventually becomes a champ. You appreciate it more.

 

taylor is no quicker than pascal....

 

Yes but he's a far better boxer.

 

Froch showed he has an excellent chin... although he looked a bit slow at times....

Pascal also seems like a nice guy... both would struggle against Kessler.... but would pretty much match the others out there like Andrade, Bute and Taylor... Although Taylor would probably be too quick for Froch...

Froch v Pavlik would be nice... both on the slow side.... although can't see Pavlik fighting above 160 for a long time
