Round 9: 10-9 Branco Close round, but even though Branco is a clown, I'll give him this round, more because Pascal did little-to-nothing. Jab and overhand right combo working a few times for Branco and a nice left hook that slightly shook Pascal mid round.
Branco is a idiot, he went down claiming back of the head. Ref starts count, this one is def a knockdown.
Cruiser, good prediction mate. Although my feeling was right. Pascal didnt look that great, but improved greatly halfway through, he looked absolutely horrendous in the first few rounds.
he used to be pretty good I thought. Hes getting pretty old though. If you guys think hes bad at reffing boxing, you should see him in MMA. Hes been a boxing ref forever, but they brought him in to do MMA fights with no experience or knowledge of the sport whatsoever, and he was just complete ****in garbage. Sounds like he was just as bad tonight.
whats next, some say Diaconu rematch is already signed. I just think a unification bout with Tavoris Cloud makes all the sense in the world for him. perhaps he's not yet prepared though.
Well with Hopkins-RJJ settled lets see the Dawson-Johnson II winner (most likely Dawson) handle Pascal, although if he fights like that they would both handle him with incredible ease. But he does has the skill to cause both of them a lot of problems, probably not enough to win but I would still like to see it. Was this fight a mandatory?
