Comments Thread For: Ageless Wonder: Hopkins Rises Twice, Pascal Escapes

[Clint650]

The Judges got it right. It was a draw. Pascal won rounds 1,2,3,4, with12 (even) and Hopkins controlled the middle rounds with 5,6,7,8,9,10,11. He lost points for the knockdowns with 1 and 3 being scored 10-8, but 12 was even. Hopkins scored higher in the compubox stats in the rounds that he won, but the two knockdowns cost him the fight. I believe most people would agree that first third of the fight was pascal's and also the last round when pascal showed up again. Hopkins didn't do enough early in the fight and went down 3 times in my book.

Pascal - 5 x 10 + 7 x 9 = 114 pts
Hopkins - 8 x 10 + 2x9 + 2x8 = 114 pts

DRAW!!!

exactly, but since were talking about a 45 yr old legend the close rounds were edged in his way as you see by the hostility everyone feels that is was a "ROBBERY".

to me you cant go down twice in a fight and claim a tittle...

Pascal looked like he hurt his shoulder again in the fifth, he thru lefts only like against Diacounou

This has to be one of the Worst Posts of All Time.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

why not?

its mathematics, as long as you win enough rounds and points you can still win

the fight no matter if u go down or not u fucccccckin dumbass


how the hell can u be a real boxing fan and not understand how fights are

scored

pascal ran like a ***** for the last 4 rounds as bhop was ****ing that body

never before have i seen a champion look so amateurish jumpin and lounging

missing punches then running like a biiiiitch


bhop was robbed

[HumanNature]

Dissapointed...

I was there live,

I was dissapointed with Pascal, After the 3rd round I was thinking ok someone is finally going to beat up Hopkins and Knock him out.

but then either Pascal gazed out which is ridiculous, or he his trainer told him to play it safe.

It was a close fight not a robbery like alot of people are saying, Hopkins didn't school him with a masterful boxing performance it wasn't beautiful thing. For some crazy reason I can't understand he just outworked the guys who's 15 years younger. How can a 45 year old man have more gaz then a 27 year old, SMH

Hopkins does deserve a rematch.

I saw both guys face to face after the fight Hopkins face had more damage, I was thinking Draw or slit decision Hopkins.

Pascal only wants the rematch for the money.

Hopkins needs to stop propagating lies that Americans don't go overseas to fight because they would get robbed. So many foreigners have come to fight in America and got robbed.
- Sergio Martinez got robbed twice. Against Cintron and first fight against PW
- Felix Sturm got robbed against De La Hoya
- Ali Funeka against everyone he's faced in America
- In the US, Malignaggi went to Houston and got robbed against Diaz.
- Ike Quartey

Hopkins is an ex con who used to **** men in prison. Always fighting people he knows he can beat. A hypocrite of the highest level.

I agree with your point about bad juding everywhere, but you are off your rocker when it comes to assailing Bhop's career. The man's resume AFTER 40yrs old is more impressive than most other guy's entire career. Sure, he shamelessly ducked Dawson in his mid-40s, but who else has the man ever ducked?

[StrangerInTown]

Whoever from Boxingscene scored it 113-113 is a fucking incompetent fucking wanker.


I don't give a fuck, but that is downright ******ed.

I suggest Cliff watch that fight again with his glasses on.

It takes alot of class to disrespect the opinion of another. I truly wish some of you guys would grow up.
This was indeed a draw given two knockdowns, an aged warrior trying hard to push back time and an awkward champ who did little.
B-Hops work rate was more prolific but it was not a title fight that demanded the belt change hands.
Evander/Valuev! Now that was something to get angry about.

[zakling]

Compubox stats say B Hop won!

Look at those numbers! Two knockdowns or not, the numbers dont lie. B-hop clearly wooped that Ass.

[P4P Opinion]

Hopkins won a close, but clear decision for me. It was a very easy fight to score for the most part. Pascal just gassed after round 3, having expended a lot of energy giving Hopkins a beating. Hopkins weathered the storm, started timing Pascal right and exploited the lack of workrate coming from Pascal.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a robbery, as it absolutely had to be close on the scorecards, but I felt Hopkins clearly won.

cong**** to both men for the great fight they put on regardless of the draw. rematch a.s.a.p. for the sake of both jean/bernard fans
