What did you learn from hopkins - pascal fight?

Things i personally learnt,

1) Pascal is seriously overrated
2) Never ever bet against bernard hopkins
3) Canadian judges are beyond biased

 

What I learnt is that 80 percent of ESB was picking pascal to win. I picked Bernard to win all along and he should have won. Now all of a sudden pascal is overrated. But he wasn't last week when people were picking him to win.

 

Its a disgrace to be champ when your gassed out after 6 rounds.

 

I picked Hopkins by Clinic but was impressed as to how Pascal hung in there ..So I learned not to sleep on Jean !

 

pascal, dawson overrated.

roy and b-hop in there best days 10 times better than them.

 

To not go on forums after a close fight because whoever lost was "robbed".

 

Also after last night, pascal showed similar flaws in the froch fight, leaving me to believe dawson will take pascal in a rematch

 

actually the american judge is the only one who was biased, the other judges scored it correctly....

 

During the lead-up and the fight we learned (joke coming) that

1) Jean Pascal didn't have good grades in school
2) He had great grades
3) Education in Canada sucks

 

Actually, Majority of the threads I noticed started by people were on the "When Hopkins schools Pascal"... "1 week left before Hopkins takes Pascal to school" themes. It sounded as if Hopkins was the champion.

Anyone who watched Pascal / Dawson would have seen that Dawson was the one who really lost that fight and Pascal did what he did. He isn't great, but he has some athletic ability and awkward style to give some guys trouble. Overrated? Im not seeing who overrated this guy, I think its pretty clear he has some limitations and flaws.

 

1. canadians are cool fans, didnt expect that
2.never doubt hopkins
3. 45 year olds can have the healh of a 25 year old guy.

 

I think hopkins has been down too many times in his last two fights (Yes, most by illegal punches) that we can not ignore the fact that he should not move up to heavyweight and fight Haye if thats what he plans to do. Hopkins would get KOd imo, and a 46 year old taking rabbit punches from a big punching heavyweight could be very damaging. Can you imagine Haye landing the punches on Hopkins that put Ruiz down?

Another thing I learned is that Pascal just isnt that good. The fact that Hopkins fought him and not Dawson when he was undefeated shows that he knew that it would be a more suitable fight for him especially given Pascals low output. Hopkins isnt going to fight someone that he believes has more advantages over him and at 46 I dont blame him. and thats not to take away from Hopkins who fought 8 brilliant rounds.

I also learned that most fans dont like, or understand the professional scoring system.

 

Any fighter who defies the odds, will face interogation of being on PEDS on ESB

 

Chad Dawson is going to beat Pascal into a bloody pulp.

 

froch is the man @168 or 175.....:yep
