It figures ! B-Hop does it again. I was hoping the old man would get KO'd and get out of the way. He always does something to win, he won tonite and was ROBBED.
I have to admit he looked good except in the first 3 or 4 rounds.
Pascal said we would know the DUMMY after the Fight.
Well we do !!!!!
Pascal is the DUMMY !!!! Its like he QUIT after round 4.
Sorry for the Canadians !!!!
Maybe Bute can KO Hopkins ??????Comment

Hopkins proved he is a LIVING LEGEND. Apparently the scorecard had some issues in terms of not being marked correctly so we shall see if that goes any further. A rematch has been ordered according to Schaefer.Comment

The official score cards will show the cheating
Look, normally I refuse to call this kind of a decision a "robbery". It's kind of a bad decision, but it was a close fight due to the 2 legit knockdowns, so I can understand the draw.
That being said, I believe the scorecards will show the cheating that occurred by the second Francophone judge. The reason is the unnatural 114-114 score. As soon as they read the first score, 114-112, I knew that judge had Hopkins. That's a natural score for a fight where a guy suffered 2 early knockdowns but pretty clearly won the majority of the rounds. When they read 113-113 I was like "Huh?", but then realized that if you found a way to give Pascal 5 rounds and B-Hop won 7, then you get a 113-113 draw. OK, the hometown judge tried really hard and found a way to award Pascal 5 rounds. I guess if you look really hard you might be able to do that.
114-114? WTF? How you do you get that score from that fight? The 2 KDs mean two 10-8 rounds for Pascal. OK, so 114 means he won or tied 6 rounds and lost 6. How does Hopkins get up to 114 then, considering he scored 8 in two of the rounds? Since he lost two rounds 10-8, he could only have lost 4 rounds. So this clown had two even rounds from that fight? WTF? How do you get 2 even rounds out of that fight? The rounds were pretty clear cut. And even with 2 even rounds, how do you get 4 OTHER rounds where Pascal won?
If he wanted to cheat (and he clearly did), he shoulda turned in the 113-113 card. It was clear Hopkins won the majority of the rounds, but a 7-5 split screws him into a draw. But 6-4-2? Come the **** on... I am willing to bet that those two even rounds came late in the fight, when it was clear Hopkins would soon sweep past Pascal on the scorecards and never look back. This cheater must have waited too long, giving Hopkins those early rounds he won, figuring "Oh well, he's way behind, let's make this look like I am objective and honest". Then as it became clear that Hopkins had Pascal figured out and he could very well win EVERY remaining round, panic must have set in. If the two even rounds occurred late, which was the period Hopkins was most dominate, then the cheating is obvious. It becomes obvious that he paniced when Hopkins was set to pass the point of no return, but he didn't want to give Pascal the round, as that would be even more obvious.
As for the fight...
Great job by Hopkins, who looked really bad early. Chad Dawson lost because he fought Pascal ******. All he had to do is back Pascal up and not let himself get outworked. He should have known this, because every round he threw punches, he won. Still, he was lazy and ****** and allowed himself to be outworked in most of the rounds.
Contrast that with B-Hop's ring intelligence... Hopkins tried his usual strategy of waiting for his opponent to come to him, but Pascal can only fight when he is allowed to stay back and occasionally leap in awkardly, with quick, heavy punches. Hopkins usual strategy was not working, so he changed his game plan mid-stream. Most fighters can't do that, and it is such an important skill for a fighter to have. Great comeback from Hopkins...Comment
