    Tough kid, loved the way when he was tagged he came back swinging almost Benn-esque. Partisan crowd didnt phase him, balls to fight there in the first place and came for a tear up and delivered. Tops it off with a great humble interview. Hope to see a lot more of him. Top man.

    I agree, even the build up he was relaxed and good-humoured. It's good to see that in boxing, trash-talking is old hat, especially when it's done badly. The only trash-talker I enjoy listening to is James Toney because he's off his trolley.

    Agreed. Pascal fought a great fight and earned a lot of fans tonight.

    He did way better than I expected. I had seen him once on the undercard of Edison Miranda v David Banks on ESPN is USA. He fought a guy called Omar Pittman who was a crude fighter without much skill, Pascal outboxed him and used his speed for most of the fight landing some heavy shots but the guy had a pretty decent chin. However late on he caught Pascal and had him badly hurt. I wondered whether Pascal's chin would stand up to Froch's power and I was surprised by Pascal's resiliance. This was truly one of the best fights seen on UK shores for sometime, as McGuigan said afterwards it reminded me of the classic Benn-Eubank fights.

    Yes,he earned me as a fan as Froch did.He fought a good fight and proved he doesn't have a bad chin like it's been said(either that or Froch is feather fisted).Hope he gets more big fights.Guys like Bika or Zuniga or Ward or Dirrell are good fights for him.

    Hope not, he's made a fan this side of the pond. No shame losing a fight like that.

    Pascal is 26..., he will get back, if he win 2-3 more fight he might challenge Bute. It can be huge in the olympic stadium, remember Leonard-Duran 2x year ago.

    I really liked afterwards how he was able to say that the better man won. No Whining about the decision and how he really didn't lose. I did agree with him though that some of the scoring was a little too wide for Froch, I mean one judge had it 10 rounds to 2!

    Really good fight for both of them! Pascal show a lot of heart even if he miss fuel at mid fight . I think that Froch jab made him win the fight.

    Yep, he was humble and gracious in defeat. Hope he gets back in the ring soon. I think Miranda is an ideal comeback fight. Hardly any need for him to have a confidence builder against some top 50 ranked opponent.


    Qulaity fight thought. Really exciting stuff from both men.

    I actually felt bad there had to be a loser here. I hope that Pascal gets some good fights and comes back strongly from this defeat. I will be looking forward to seeing both of these guys when they are next in action.
