Over-exaggerating Hopkins claims that he won the fight...

Does the fact that one guy (Hopkins) was beating the crap out of the other guy (Pascal) make any difference to you?

 

To be fair the slip that was called in the 4th had more rights to be called a KD than the first round call, it's sort of a wash in my books. I still had Hopkins carrying rounds 5-12. that is 114-112, and that is giving round 4 to Pascal, and even saying round 3 which Hopkins was winning prior to KD a 10-8 round for Pascal. To be fair, you could have found another round for Pascal somewhere to get the draw. Just not sure which one a judge would pick, since he was getting battered to the body and literally on his bike, only landing the occassional shot here and there....

 

hopkins won end of story , pascal threw about 4 punches after the 4th

 

Gerrard would batter Anderson. Anderson is a ****ing soft-ass. He wouldn't last 5 minutes with Stevie G, look at the fear in his face.

I have no doubt had the fight been in the US then Hopkins would have won a fairly wide UD probably 117-112

 

I'm Canadian, somewhat of a Jean Pascal fan, and I had it 114-112 Hopkins. The only possibility for a draw I see on my card is giving the 12th to Pascal because he landed the harder shots even though I'm pretty sure BHop connected more often - just not that effectively.

So 114-112 BHop for me, with a slight hint of understanding for 113-113. You guys should post your cards in the "How did you score the fight" poll.

Not a robbery by any mean. JP was the champion here, so BHop had to go balls to the wall for a UD... in Germany, say if Barker or Gaele had won as many rounds vs Sturm, the cards would still say 118-112 Sturm. That'd be a robbery.

 

Even if I'm a Pascal fan, I tough Hopkins did enough to get the win. Some close rounds. I got 115-111 for Hopkins. I could see a draw possible because of some close rounds, but overall I felt Hopkins deserved the win. Pascal was lucky that the first round was being counted as a knockdown.

One thing is clear. Hopkins didn't dominate Pascal, he beat him.
