    Where's the outcry about the referee? He called the bogus knockdowns, he was afraid to get in and break the fighters, he warned Pascal about 4 times for hitting on the back of the head without ever looking serious about taking a point.... If it wasn't for this guy the judges wouldn't be able to justify the robbery.

    I guess Johnsons Knockout of Green was illegal too? The ref did a great job and I say this because I dont remember his name.

    Get yourself down to the opticians mate.

    Both were legit and inside the rules. We have all seen them on slow motion replay so it is clear you have some dodgy eyesight.

    Oh so Hopkins didn't fight a dirty fight as well? STFU.

    Hopkins won plain and simple **** Pascal and the French judge.

    The point is he called knockdowns that weren't there you dipshits, slips and punches to the back of the head don't count. When Pascal slipped in one of the last rounds that was as legitimate a knockdown as the ones that were called on Hopkins.

    Yes he fought dirty but nothing that affected the scoring of rounds.

    No. Hopkins deserved to win but a fight is scored on a points system and not on how it looks. I SCORED it a draw but thought Hopkins should have won from his work.

    You didn't answer my question.

    He's a Froch fan. This was the worst possible outcome for the Froch Trumpet blowers, because it shoots their argument in the ass about who is king at 168.

    Second knock down is good. First one was bogus.

    You assume I'm a Froch fan because I have 'Nottingham' on my profile thing. I'm sure we've had this conversation before.

    You assume wrong by thinking I am a Froch nuthugger.

    1st one was definitely dubious.

    The ref even hesitated at first before counting.

    Replays show it was a KD and within the rules. What is there to debate.

    Thought the ref did a great job. Knockdowns were legitimate. fight was exciting...rare for Hopkins. Hopkins deserved the nod. Pascal clutched defeat from the jaws of victory.
