Comments Thread For: Hauser on Pascal vs. Hopkins: Bernard Got Jobbed

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A champion shouldn’t retain his title when he wins three of twelve rounds in a title fight. But that’s the gift that two judges bestowed upon Jean Pascal in Quebec City on Saturday night.

Disgusting decision ttoday, Hopkins won

[MrClutch85]

the true boxing fans know who won the fight plain and simple props to B-Hop

[PEBBLES!]

Hauser is dead on the money.

Pascal only won 3 rounds.

This was the biggest robbery in the history of professional boxing. Bhop is the true champ

why do people presume judges have a better view than us? they don't. they only have 1 angle while we have a 360 degree view because of the different cameras. that being said you don't need different angles to see who won this fight.

Ok...Wow.

Let me start by saying I witnessed Pascal's dominant performance over Dawson earlier this year and I am just shocked at how lethargic he looked tonight against B-Hop. I expected Pascal to be dancing around B-Hop landing shots at will using his speed and yet expected B-Hop to put forth a valiant effort looking respectable but past his prime in the end.

Fact: Pascal did not look like a champion. His two early knockdowns we're legit although flash knockdowns. The back of the head claim is not legit when you lean your head downward as a method of defense as Bernard did.

Verdict: Really took my opinion of Pascal from a 9 in his division to about a 6, and only because my memories of the Dawson fight are still fresh. From memory, Pascal obviously won the 1st and 3rd rounds, and may have won 2 more. I think B-Hop looked superior but never really hurt Pascal seriously. I would have been OK with a B-Hop win, not happy with the draw, and definitely didn't think Pascal did enough to win. I believe a rematch is in order if it can be made in the next 4 months or less. I think this needs to be settled. Pascal needs to get his head in order and come up with a gameplan, and give B-Hop another opportunity. Bernard deserves to go out better than this.

This reminds me of a Tommy Hearns fight 10 years back where it was highly touted as being his farewell fight at home in Detroit. After suffering a 2nd round stoppage, he vowed to come back again and fight one more time, not wishing to go out in such a shameful manner. For a fighter of Bernard's pedigree, he deserves to go out with a win. Whether or not that can happen in a future speedy rematch remains to be seen.

Hopkins absolutely took apart Pascal, he schooled him.

I can't believe they took this decision from him.

There won't be a remtach anytime soon though, Pascal is contractually obliged to rematch Dawson next.
