Who Won - Bernard Hopkins OR Jean Pascal?

[BoxingTech718]

Maximum amount of rounds Pascal could have won was 4. This fight was the FOTY IMO until the judges ruined it by robbing Hopkins.
Who ever thought that Hopkins had one more good fight left in the tank? I know I didn't.

It did look like Bernard was robbed coz the knockdown weren't really knockdowns. But because it counted, Hop needed to climb a mountain to get back which he did. The draw decision was fair.

The second KD was right on the chin. The first KD was behind the ear high on the head like Johnson did to Green.

bernard did not win the fight

he was knocked down twice he had to perform miracles to get a decision against the champ in his hometown

this is common sense people

and one judge even scored the fight for bhop when they could have quite easily favoured the champ

do people even know what a robbery in boxing is?

watch Chavez vs Whitaker if you don't lol

B-hop won it...but hey at least he got a draw.

And when an american judge scores it one round away from a draw in favor of the american fighter, you know that the fight isn't as easy to score as some fans would like to prentend.

not really....the american scored the fight right. i love it how ppl keep saying, "a round switched, and the fight WAS a draw."

bottom line, the rounds weren't that close (except 4) where they could go either way.

i gave pascal 1-4 (with round 4 being the only close round, if you watched the fight, and paid attention to punches landed and wasn't influenced by crowd noise), and i gave hopkins 5-12. 2 point victory.

wow this is the most one died poll in bs historyyyyyyyyyyy

[Tyson.]

Hopkins won 11 out of the 12 rounds.

Pascal landed on average less than 9 punches around. Hopkins was the agressor and was robbed plain and simply. Pascal was running for most of the fight and he didnt clearly win a single round. There were no rounds that could go either way.

Round 1 was Hopkins round. The KD was a shot behind the head so not legit.
Round 3 was a 10-9 round because despite the KD Hopkins was winning the round.

Scores should have been 118-109. If you count the bogus KD in the 1st round then its still 117-110 for Hopkins.

Hopkins won 8 rounds in my book. Fans who can't understand that a knockdown is only one point kill me. Yes you can be knocked down and win the fight. It's pascal's own fault. He knows he lost. The kid got schooled!!!!!!!!!!

Robbery is strong. I have no problem with it being a draw. That would be 7 rounds to 5. No matter the outcome, bernard just enhanced his legendary status.

[mathed]

Hopkins manhandled Pascal after the third rd on till the end...how he did not win is beyond me

[deanrw]

I have probably the most unbiased view in here, because I dont really care who wins the fight.

But hopkins was the clear winner on this one. the 2 KD which i counted though i thought 1 was legit, wasnt enough for 8 rounds beat down by hopkins


Hopkins by 114-112 (THAT IS THE RIGHT SCORE)

So you scored it 114-112, so would you consider a 113-113 a robbery or a very slight difference of perception?

What I don't understand is how anyone in here can scream robbery when the fight was so close. Almost everyone who scored the fight who knows how to score a fight scored it either 114-112 or 113-113. Punchstats mean squat as there were rounds that Pascal hardly threw a punch. He lost those particular rounds accordingly but those have no bearing on the rounds he had some activity that he may have swung with a rally.
