    I agree with you the result was a friggon joke.
    well if he won the first 4 rounds he was up 6 points then. Could have won a round from 5-12 easy thus making it a draw.

      hopkins should have won, but you cant fault a draw. if you look at the official scorecards one point here or there could've swung it.

                he initally said he would take the rematch, and then when asked to reaffirm his position, he dick-tucked...obvious he wants no part of Hopkins in a rematch.

                    Holy shit people hating on Pascal like crazy, or hugging Hopkins' nuts...

                    Pascal won that fight and this is coming from a guy who likes BHop.

                    He landed cleaner throughout the fight, there was only 2 or 3 rounds in the middle that BHop was controlling, the rest of the time the round was either a wash cuz of pascal's jab landing clean and his defense getting a piece of almost every shot BHop threw on target. The knockdowns were knockdowns, he wasn't badly damage but who cares. 10-8 rounds for both of them.

                      I think you were listening to the commentators blow Hopkins like they wanted his milkshake

                        I didn't think it was a blatant robbery, it was a close fight and while hopkins' boxed better, pascal landed the heavier shots and of course got the knockdowns. I hadn't seen hopkins hit with hard clean punches like that in a long time. Pascal shouldn't have taken the fight to begin with because no one ever looks good against bhop. It was a great fight though. And lol @ people whining that boxing is dying or in bad shape...could any mma fighter not named gsp sell 16,000 tickets in canada? If so I'd be very suprised.

                            ^^ that's actually pretty good. I still think people who proclaim boxing is dying are wrong though.

                              Reading Eccocide's response was like watching Pat Smith repeatedly drive his elbows into the head of Ninja Scott Morris.
