He has been getting overrated since his win against Dawson. A Dawson in my view who was lazy and not mentally or physically ready. Dawson should slap himself for losing to a lesser fighter.......pathetic preparation by him and an even worse post fight reaction!!! This is a guy who took 11 of 12 rds from Adamek (now beating HW's), beat Tarver twice and Johnson twice. If Dawson hasn't lost the desire to fight at the elite level he will win every round in their rematch. He dropped the ball badly in their first fight!!
Ward and Dirrell also beat Pascal. Ward wins every round. He can replicate everything Hopkins did but better and with more speed because he is much younger than Bernard. Dirrell wins 8 or 9 rds. Froch will beat him again if they fight. Bute will beat him.
I thought Hopkins won a close fight. Pascal for most of the rds after rd 3 did nothing but move around and stare at Hopkins. Can't win a fight doing that. Hopkins also landed cleaner blows.
There is a reason why Hopkins jumped on him after he got by Dawson, When Dawson was the champ Hopkins looked the other way, Pascal alway does his best work early on in fights and by the later rounds he gets tired and thats when the hometown favours comes in.
Are you implying that Hopkins ducked Dawson? Well, Hopkins did say he would fight the winner of Dawson/Pascal, so the only person to blame is Dawson for losing that fight. If Dawson had won the fight and THEN Hopkins chose not to fight him, I would understand your case. And also take into consideration that Pascal is a huge draw in Canada and Dawson can't sell out a middle school gym.

That was pretty much the swing factor in me betting on Hopkins tonight. For all of Hopkins shennanigans, he know's what's up in match-ups in boxing. I thought he 'saw something' in Pascal that he could exploit whereas he clearly didn't think Dawson was worth the risk.

I agree.....i'm a fan of Hop (though i prefer RJJ and Toney) but he didn't want Dawson, who is a very good boxer and very very fast of hand and foot. Also a combo puncher.
I didn't bet on the fight as IMO it was a toss-up where the result was too hard to predict. Hopkins is old and looked old against Roy. Pascal is fast and young. So i didn't bet.
Pascal sat there and stared at this 46 year old (albeit an absolute specimen of an old man) who isn't known for his activity. Not the way to show your talents.
LoL
Seriously how the fukk was NARD more active against Jean
I honestly bet $100 on Nard winnning and started cheering until the scores were read
Jean should have won but thats what great boxig does to you
I wasn't impressed with him even after he beat Dawson...Dawson looked like he didn't feel like fighting that night...and just followed Pascal all over the ring and never cut the ring off...
He looked terrible......just terrible. I question whether his career is actually over and he has lost all desire to fight, or if it was just an off night. I'm not sure yet.

Not that I don't agree to an extent that Pascal ain't all that and never was. But way to come on here right after Pascal gets exposed to claim he's overrated. And nice first line. 'He has been getting overrated since his win against Dawson.' So he wasn't overrated for his whole career before but in the time period between his last fight and his current fight, he got severely overrated?
Nice work.
Yes. People were raving about the win...........
Only G dog overrated him
He should have beat Hopkins
Even 1 sided, he was still athletic and had speed
Stamina and the mental game killed him

Been saying it since he beat Dawson..........told everyone it was an abberation, more to do with Dawson being a dumbass than Pascal.
