Comments Thread For: Jean Pascal Rallies In Second Half To Shock Meng Fanlong, Wins Unanimous Decision

It's only $19 a year? Damn. I just looked at the ProBox website; Marquez, RJJ, Tarver and Paulie are partners in the endeavor. Impressive. Their mission (to provide live boxing content at all levels) is exactly what I had hoped DAZN would do. I will have to sign up for this.

We got nearly 10% inflation,

Ref didn't make a mistake - punch was blocked but still dropped Fanlong. He tried to close his eyes and throw a punch but Pascals shot knocked him off balance and put him down. Clear KD.

Technically I guess the ref is right. I hate the rule, I think most refs never call those types of falls knockdowns.

Interesting comment, Explain it more, if you like.

i have also used the term 'Clutch game' to describe a attribute certain fighters have etc.

Errol Spence Junior is a fighter who have a proven clutch game 'Tyson Fury also'.

When I use the term, it is describing fighters who very rarely if ever under perform in big fights.

They never lose for lack of effort or not trying something there and then in the fight.

Spence Junior's win vs Danny Garcia after his accident for me, was his best performance.

No I retract my statement, I think I said it in the heat of the moment.

Yes, all posters on this forum need to have the same opinion.

Very, very intelligent take.

Not the same OPINION. Be consistent.

Either (A) highly ranked fighters should just fight whoever is the 'eye test' - and stop criticizing their resumes after the fact, or (B) highly ranked fighters should just fight other highly ranked fighters - and stop chasing 'eye test' fighters.

The "opinion" comes in determining who is worthy to do what, and whose rankings matter. That can differ.

The general stance of the kinds of challenges a fighter should take? Should simply be CONSISTENT.


Else, Crawford shouldn't be Top 10 and Loma should still be.

Pascal did what Pascal has been doing for the second half of his career... Awkward bully style, windmill and weird angles ....Paid off against Meng who just couldn't adapt when Pascal went into "Bully Mode" ... Brilliant second half for Pascal if you get it ... Oh, and the knockdown was legit ...

This is why I want to see Buatsi face Pascal. Buatsi's instinct is to hurt his opponent and go for the kill, but I think he'd have to approach Pascal in an intelligent manner. Or else, he'll gas out and Pascal will start bullying him. The way to beat Pascal is behind the jab, and Buatsi has a really good one.
