Who thinks Hopkins deserved the decision last night?

i think Bhop got robbed

 

come on guys, in no country in the world a foreign fighter comes in there, boxes the hometown champion and gets 2 knock downs and than wins the fight. its everywhere like this, canada usa (oscar vs sturm or foreman vs schulz .....) germany........

 

foreman vs schulz was like hopkins playing the foreman role and pascal the role of schulz. foreman actually outlanded schulz in the fight and was the aggressor coming forward just as hopkins did last night.

 

I thought he probably did enough to pull it out, and he certainly outboxed Pascal for, as it turned out, the majority of the fight. But can't really complain at the decision as Hopkins had a lot to overcome possibly being four rounds down and the two knockdowns. The 12th was also a toss up. It was an admirable comeback, and it would have been fitting for Hopkins to have gotten the decision, but boxing is scored by rounds and not by seconds or minutes won. The only way to overcome that is to let them fight 30 minutes non-stop like in the old UFC/Pride days.

 

Which if the KD in the first round had been scored a punch to the back of the head it would have been a 1 point victory. Let me say honestly I didnt see the fight but everywhere ive read seems to make it sound like it was a clear cut punch to the back of the head. If thats true the ref screwed Hopkins more than the judges.

 

if theres a rematch Hopkins will win decisively as i doubt the flash knockdowns will happen again!

Pascal will be damaged goods after a 2nd fight! Just like Taylor.

 

Only in hometown you can get a knockdown from a punch behind the head. In reality, Hopkins won the first round.

 

hometown robbery at its finest. First Froch now this!

 

Of the ones who put no, did any of you actually score it for Pascal?

 

im F'in pissed! Bernard couldve shattered that record!

 

this is a sad reality

 

Easily, 115-111 and it wasn't hard to score at all. From round 4 to round 12 Pascal got schooled. Hopkins took 90 points, Pascal 81. Pascal took the first 3 rounds and took 30 points vs. Bernards 25 thanks to two knockdowns, the first of which I would have ruled a slip/illegal blow personally but that's life.

Bernard got robbed. It wasn't hard to score, the rounds weren't close.
