Pascal's take on the scuffle
I have translated an interview he has given in french after th incident.
''It was an intimidation move. Unfortunately for him, we expected it during my preparation that he would do such a thing at the last press conference. I calmly asked him to give me my belt back, he refused, I said you have 3 seconds to give me my belt back, it is mine, he said ''no no, it is mine, I'll knock you out'', so I tried to take it back and that's when his team got involved, and my team... There was a little scuffle, but nothing serious. It was expected, I've been following his career since I was 16 years old, we have been studying him, against Trinidad, he threw the Puerto Rican flag to the ground, it was meant to provoke Tito, I was ready for this".
