Hopkins Straight right followed by left to body.

Hopkins hard left to body.

Pascal right to top of head.

Pascal right to top of head, Hopkins slips, crowd roars (illegal punch)

last second, punches exchanged, Pascal lands uppercut.

summary:

Hopkins completely and unambiguously dominated the round. Absolutely zero doubt in mine, or any fair-minded persons head.

 

I did not score the fight for Pascal, i had it a draw. 1-2-3-5-8 like the 2 juges.

Controlled that round :roll: Hopkins controlled that round by eating the better punches.

 

I agree, round 4 is clearly for Hopkins.

 

I watched the fight again and I end up the same.

 

Pascal threw a lot of shots to the back of Hopkins head all fight long. That's why the first knockdown in Round 1 was a mistake by the judge. However, even if you give Pascal a 10-8 round he only deserved to win 10-9 in the 3rd round because Hopkins dominated the round except for the brief legit knockdown.

Pascal also 10-9 for round 2.

Giving Pascal the benefit of every doubt and saying he won rounds 5 and 8 I would still have Hopkins winning the fight 114-113.
