    Hopkins was the aggressor, throwing and landing more punches. In my book, Pascale only won 3 or 4 rounds.How can they do this to Hopkins, he is a legend?

    Hopkins fought like a challenger and , aside from the two 2 KD, pretty much dominated Pascale who looked like an amateur in there. Pascale was running and did not even want to stand in there with hopkins because he was the inferior fighter. Hopkins was just the better boxer and deserved to win.

    I just watched it also and Hopkins didn't get robbed. I had it a close fight in favor of Pascal. I got Pascal winning the first 5 rounds with 3 KDs...he did get a KD in the 4th the the ref didn't call. Other than that Hop took 6-11. I had 12 even but you can give the round to whoever you like, I got the 12th even. Nobody got robbed. Hopkins should be lucky he got a draw.

    You really need to learn to score a fight. And punches behind are illegal, you know. So, neither the "KD" in the first nor the one in the 4th were actually knockdowns. One bad and one good call yb the ref. Aside of that, no way Pascal won the 4th or the 5th. Pascal won the first three and the 12th maybe even but the rest was all in B-Hop´s favour which is a 115-112 scorecard. And if you give the 1st and 3rd to Pascal by 10-9 instead of 10-8 due to Hopkins winning those rounds outside of the KDs it would be even wider ...

    You need to learn how to score a fight. What you need to do is stop being bias with your scoring, we all know Hopkins is your hero. Pascal knocked Hopkins down in the only place where he could hit him, you swear like Hopkins was facing Pascal sideway or backward and he went for the back of the head LOL. And Hopkins wasn't winning those first 5 rounds like the way you see it. Pascal is the champ and Hopkins wasn't doing enough **** to win it, you swear like Hopkins was winning it like the 6-11 rounds. They both had their moment and Pascal got the better hits in those first 5 rounds.

    1st one wasn't a knock down. Hopkins really imposed himself on Pascal and beat him up.

    That's not to say it was clear that Hopkins wasn't going to be stopped early on. He was getting tagged frequently until he put a new gameplan in.

    Actually the majority of the judges, press row, Al Bernstein and Jim Gray either favored Hopkins or called it a draw. Considering it was in Pascal's hometown I'd say Pascal was the one who was lucky to get the draw.

    A Knockdown must be counted by the ref in order for it to count. It was ruled a slip. But from the 4th round onward Hopkins won the majority if not all of the rounds. Pascal was even being dominated in the rounds in which he scored the KD's. There was only 1 legit KD and that was in the 3rd round, but for scoring purposes you must account for 2 KD's in your scoring because they ruled that way.

    Hopkins didn't enough **** to win the 4th and 5th round. Pascal is the champ and they both had their moment but Pascal got the harder shots in. About the KD, just because the judge didn't call it doesn't mean that we can't score it. Remember I'm scoring according to what I'm seeing. Even if the KD didn't count, I have 4th and 5th for Pascal. 6-11 for Hopkins and 12th for whoever you like but I call it an even round.

    LOL the only people exposing himself is you. I'm just scoring according to what I believe. We all know you're trying to give every round you can to Hopkins because he's your hero.

    To me Pascale was running too much, he did not fought like a champion. It seemed that he was reluctant to engage with Hopkins because he was the inferior fighter, technically and tactically.
