Anyone else feel Pascal got robbed?

Anyone else feel Pascal got robbed when he fought Carl Froch in Nothingham? He dominated the early rounds, edged most of the middle rounds and just barely lost the late rounds. I'm a great Froch fan, as everyone here knows, but I honestly couldn't analyze the Pascal fight without feeling that Froch should be glad if he had even gotten a draw, Pascal was just clearly 4 rounds ahead. He made Froch miss most of his punches and he made Froch seem nervous at times. Nervous for a good reason, Pascal was banging him in the head at will with those wild and powerful punches! Froch barely landed any power punches in this fight, it was mainly ineffective jabs. Which rounds did you see Froch win? Please elaborate.

The thing i remember is that Froch was getting the better of it when they exchanged. I think you're full of shit TS. pretty much this pascal had his moments, but froch was getting the better of most of the toe to toe exchanges.

Could have been a draw or a Froch win. Couldnt have seen it for Pascal. Froch-Dirrell is another story, Dirrell won that fight.

Close fights are not robberies You can't be the original Larry.

froch won by 4 rounds easy, easy fight to score, as was the dirrell froch fight, which again froch won by 4 rounds easy. The word robbery is banding around far to much...

I've never heard this before, I don't think even Pascal thought he won, did he? All I remember from the time was: Early rounds - masturbating furiously at a good fight. My mum wasn't pleased. Later rounds - Pascal does his now-customary gas out. Let's face it, he got outboxed by Carl "Sugar" Froch... a feat not unlike losing to Amir Khan in a punch resistance competition. lol.......

Hell of a fight, watched it live in Nottingham. Didn't score it (difficult to do whilst drinking beer, talking to others etc.) but remember thinking it was bloody close. Me and my mate weren't sure whether Froch had won or not. Difficult to say without scoring it round-by-round whilst watching on TV, but from memory having watched it live it looked fairly even, so i'd have to say robbed is certainly too strong a term.

:lol1: It wasn't even that close close. Pascal had moments and won his customary 4 rounds. It was a clear victory for Froch.

Yes. But the ref jumping in and stopping the fight just as Jean was about to KO Kovalev was even worse.

i haven't seen it in quite a while. i felt it was a close fight when i saw it last. unless one guy is really taking it to the other, when you're at ringside, and ssubjected to all of the limitations of scoring a boxing match live, it can be damn near impossible to score close rounds without some measure of faith.

I rewatched it not long ago, it was close on the cards until the last three rounds which Froch won clear and the fight. No controversy, just a tough fight Pascal lost.

A close but clear 7-5 Froch from what I remember.

Not at all, would have been a robbery if Pascal won. IIRC 8-4 Froch, maybe even after 8 then Pascal gassed badly and lost the rest

Froch-Pascal was a very close fight. It could have gone either way. The cards should have been closer. Look to Froch-Dirrell if you want to highlight a robbery. Exactly this.

Very close fight. I can't recall what I scored it but it definitely wasn't a robbery. A rematch would have been worthy.

Close fights are not robberies Yes and no. Depends what you mean by a close fight. A fight can be 7-5, which is close on paper, but it can be clearly 7-5. Nevertheless some people would claim that a 7-5 fight couldn't possibly be a robbery. I don't think that's true.

Close fights are not robberies It really wasn't close. Please rewatch the match, Pascal clearly won 7-8 of the 12 rounds. Froch barely did any damage while Pascal was hurting and confusing him constantly.
