By outoughing him in that great brawl and in times using his underrated jab to control the pace.
But truth be told Pascal wasn't as good then as he is know and also fought the wrong gameplan from the beggining not to mentione he was gassed by the 6th.
In a rematch I'd take Pascal.
Because pascal liked to square up and go toe to toe. he didn't use his natural talents to box more like he does now. though he still likes to square up and go to war.
i think pascal got tired too around 7/8. after that froch used his jab and controlled him.
pascal is way more physically gifted then froch imo he shoulda won that fight ... but he gave it away by fighting the wrong gameplan, he went to brawl wasnt busy enuf and lost to a better brawler. imo pascal lacks maturity discipline and focus in the ring ... he fights every rd like theres an on off switch in his head and he gets hit too much
He learnt a lot from that fight and seems to be slightly more discilplined now. He recognises his strengths in speed and combo's and gets out of there better.
Had he done that more against Froch he'd have won. Showed great heart in trying to out war the brute, and nearly beat him at his own game. But it just wasn't the right game plan for him to win.
