The Official: Jean Pascal vs Bernard Hopkins {DISCUSSION THREAD}

[AddiX]

Really. Boxing is killing itself from within with bs like this. There really needs to be a change to the judging system (among others). Anyway...

UPDATE:

From what it looks--repeat, looks--like the changes cost Hopkins. But we don't know the source of the whiteout yet. Officials investigating

Could a judge have changed his mind and flipped it mid-fight? Sure. But white out is an odd method to do it.

Golden Boy execs are flying around here trying to get answers. I'm going to presser, will report info as I get it.

People think it hurts boxing and it probably does, but thats why I love boxing.

It's gutter, and nothing about it is politically correct. It makes things entertaining.

Its much better than the ESPN bull**** were fed. All the corporate sports are boring.

GDOG, B-Hop won the 3rd round despite the knock down.

[Uturn]

Can the fight be over-ruled if it's true about one of the judges scorecard whited out and change when it was infact in favour of hopkins which means he'd of got the nod??

[check hook]

Pascal won the 1st and 3rd convincingly with KD's and won the 12th and you can give him 1 more round and that makes the fight a draw


ppl dont get scoring on boxingscene, lol...thought ppl know a little at least

Sure it could be.........but why the *** are they whiting out scorecards??

I have been in this sport for nearly 2 decades - and THIS Draw is one of THE BIGGEST GIFTS I have EVER seen.

It truly is an embarrassment to the sport of boxing. Hopkins clearly and I do mean CLEARLY won that fight.

I do not use the term "clearly" very often to describe a win - but DAMN - after the 3rd Round - Hopkins won EVERY SINGLE ROUND in a SHUTOUT!.

My hat goes off to Bernard Hopkins - at 45 - you deserved the win over that 28 year old - in fact - you took him to school.

The Newspaper Headlines tomorrow should read "Hopkins Gets Robbed in Canada" But since Canada is more "politically correct" they will read something nice like "Christmas Comes Early To Montreal"

The Punch Stat numbers will tell the true story in this one...

WOW DUDE!

I guess I wasn't the only one. I was reminded of that 'seek and destroy version of B-Hop

Not to mention the two knockdowns, Pascal back-pedaling and trying to last it out as well as the questionable draw at the end.

It's the first time Hopkins has travelled since then, same result.

The fight was a draw plain and simple. People tend to only remember who finishes the fight. Even by all the fans that claim B-Hoop won they all admit that Pascal took the first 4 with 2 KD's. Thats 6 points up right there. All Pascal had to do was not get KD or KO. Hopkins fought one of the best fights of his life. I know it seems like he should've won just becuase he just deserves it. But you can't take points away from Pascal becuase Hopkins looked good.

I truly don't see how Pascal won the fourth to be honest.

And he didn't win ***** after, that is why I had Hop ahead.

Where did you make this up from?

[mathed]

Hopkins ain't ever gonna fight in Europe again.

Canada man, Canada..right above America........no where near Europe...

Not to mention the two knockdowns, Pascal running and trying to last it out as well as the questionable draw at the end.

It's the first time Hopkins has travelled since then, same result.

Yeah I thought he beat Mercado also, the rematch was pure destruction, Mercado was badly beaten and Tyson's commentating was comical. Now I'm in the mood to rewatch those 2 fights
