    This whole post is a dream. Completely delusional. How long have you been watching boxing. 10-10 rounds are almost never given. Giving a 10-10 rounds in a close fight is a coppout and its rarely down. I don't know where you came up with this it should be common arguement but your ****ing kidding yourself cause it isn't common. Sorry but when your bending reality to make an arguement excuse me if I don't take you seriously? Also Bernard's push-headbutt-foot-trip is as legit a knockdown as the ones Pascal landed? Please, how am I supposed to take you serious?:patsch

    Trust me he won't be shocked because he's got his head-up his ass, in la-la-land trying to make-up bull**** to back what he feels should have happened.

    You are right of course. On my card, Pascal was 5 points ahead of Hopkins after 3 rounds hence Hopkins had to win 5 rounds to even the score and, clearly, he did. The other 4 rounds were close with a case made for Pascal winning at least one, possibly two.

    Round 5, Hopking threw two nice combos both leading to body shots but Pascal displayed a good leading left hook and efficient conterpunching against the ropes. He also delivered the bigger blows. I gave it to Pascal.

    The somewhat uneventful round 8 could have gone either way depending on how relevant one judges ''body language'', ''looks of confidence'' and ''clowning'' (all in Hopkins favour). Personally I don't score these items. The left-right combination Hopkins threw was countered by a short left hook that landed after which Pascal led with two jabs and landed the a straight right hand to the midsection. A couple of efficient Pascal two-hands rushes in the second half of the round and missed counters by Hopkins gave Pascal the round IMO. The last 15 seconds of the round confirmed a 10-9 for Pascal.

    No robbery here.

    I've got it in high def on my computer from a torrent site. I watched it again just this morning. The fifth round is a tough one to score, Hopkins lands the punches for most of the round but Pacal gets some quality shots in aswell, hence my scoring of it as 10-10. It's hard to say how hard a punch is, Pascal is wild and explosive so I think his punches look harder than they actually are, Hopkins certainly didn't have much respect for Pascals punches.

    I know it's not common, I'm saying it should be. When I score a fight if I can't find a clear winner of the round I give it 10-10, that way you're going to have an accurate indication of who was better overall, wouldn't you agree? Why would I guess, that's where bias comes into play and I don't do that. It's a damn shame more judges don't share my philosophy when it comes to scoring rounds.
    Pascals first knockdown was absolutely ridiculous, there was no way that was a knockdown, that's why I'm saying that the later incident with Hopkins and Pascal tripping is just as legit. Not legit at all.

    Do the people scoring this for Pascal (Philla) count bodyshots as actual punches??



    All I know is, Hopkins, at 45 years of age, is a better fighter then a prime Pascal. Pascal is lucky he got some flash knockdowns, and in my opinion, regardless of the knockdowns, Hopkins should have won the fight. I am not complaining about the draw, and saying its robbery, but I think Hopkins won. But he without a doubt showed who the superior fighter is.

    It's hard to say how hard Pascal punches is or it's hard to admit how hard Pascal's punches is?

    Wait Pascal kd's twice Hopkins for the first time in 15 years, but ya feel confortable to say ''Pascal punches look harder than they actually are''

    It's hard to say how hard Pascal's punches but that's why Hopkins stop to moving foward and try anything at the last half of the fifth round after the vicious uppercut.

    But Pascal punches look harder than they actually are because in the 9th and the 10th round Hopkins stopped twice the exchanges with a smile after being cought by great counter left hook while Pascal was in the cables.

    You know what they said about boxers who smiles after getting cought with clean shot?

    Pascal was a beaten man by the end of the fight.

    Jean was banking on B-Hop to act his age in there and got a rude awakening.

    Hopkins by far the superior fighter.:good

    Two of those knockdowns were punches to the back of the head.Shouldn't of been called a KD.

    I believe the 3rd round was the legit knockdown,,thats it!..and i had Bernard winning the round when the knockdown accured in the 3rd.
