    Pascal is way too green...he has the speed ,athleticism ,power,footwork but he needs a well known trainer tu put all of this together because hes making so many ammateurish mistakes when hes in the ring...But the kid has heart and if he continue to work hard im sure he can win a title in the future...he has all the TOOLS lets see now if he can use them properly...

    I was impressed with Pascal as i expected him to be blown away.

    He showed heart, speed but also inexperience.

    What i think the fight showed was that Pascal is better than we thought and Froch isnt quite ready for the big boys.

    Neither are in the same league as Kessler but it was a competitive fight between two contenders.

    I thought Pascal was excellent to be honest. He had a lot of variety in his punches, decent chin, good stamina and power. He probablly would have got a KO against a lot of other fighters, but Froch has a very good chin to.

    As soon as Froch went to his jab, around 7/8 he dealt with Pascal pretty easily, that long reach controlled the fight in the last third.

    I was more impressed with Pascal, he just showed more overall potential, fix a few things, be a bit more tactical, he could be a very good fighter. Whereas Froch, I don't think he can go much further, perform much better...

    Yeah credit to Pascal for coming to England and fighting Froch.......unlike a few others I could mention:hey

    Remember that Pascal as well as Froch had been an avoided fighter

    It was an exciting fight but nothing impressive in terms of boxing skills. Yes Pascal did better than we expected and showed he had a chin, but showed his lack in a lot of domains too. His jab, his inability to solve Froch and to respect a proper game plan like usually. He will forever stay a contender if he never works on these points

    A good chin and a big punch is all that guy has to offer. He has been calling out Calzaghe for years. I think that Calzaghe should accept and give that bum a boxing lesson. I have to admit his style really offends me.

    And he didn't have much energy left after the 6th round...He needs to change his coach for another one that's gonna work on his footwork, his wild swinging and his defense if he's want to have another chance for a belt.
