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

[TheGreatA]

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

Overcoming two knockdowns to get a draw in the opponent's hometown can basically be considered a win.

Bullshit like this hurts Boxing. Sick of this BS.
Hopkins had this by 2 points. Pascal just stood there and ran occasionally from the 4th on.

****!

Just becuase Hopkins won the last half of the fight does'nt mean it's ok to just duduct points that Pascal raiked up early in the fight. Boxing is scored on a round by round basis.

The scorecards were changed.

had to calm down...they say never trust ya tongue when ya heart is bitter...so I chilled out for a while before I came back to post my thoughts on that bull****, hometown ass decision....Christmas came a week earlier for Huck and Pascal tonight....I'm speechless....no judge scored the fight FOR Pascal....he got tooken to school...B.Hop made the adjustments and it was a wrap....once B.Hop cracked Pascal's punch code....the schooling was masterfully executed....B.Hop has ALWAYS been a slow starter....so yea, Pascal had us in a situation early that we fought outta and then we took control of the dance....Pascal is cool dude and a fighter I have big respect for....but homey lost that one.....I think I made my point without venting

****'s about to hit the fan...

Richard Schaefer is livid. Not about the white out controversy but the judging. Screaming that this what's wrong with boxing

Schaefer says he plans to file a protest and seek legal remedies. I don't think he has seen the card. Because he's yelling for it.

Funny because he didn't give a crap about Bhop when he thought he was done. Now he see's more future $ and he's going to bat for him.

They cant protest the decision unless they can prove wrong doing. I don't think white out will do that.

Are they trying to say someone told the judge to change the scorecard? I don't get it.

your just saying this to be different right?? Hopkins won every single round after round 3

To you maybe. He could've easliy taken the 8th and 9th. Add to 10-8 rounds to five rounds won what do you come up with.

Schaefer says WBC plans to order an immediate rematch for Pascal-Hopkins.

the 8th and 9th could have easily gone Pascals way.

That's where we differ. I just don't see how Pascal won those two.

Generously I gave him 4 rounds.


To each his own I guess but lots of people seem to agree with me here.

Schaefer says scorecards were double checked with the slips. He says he does not think there was any corruption.
