Pascal is overrated!

[Russian Crushin]

I didn't bet on the fight as IMO it was a toss-up where the result was too hard to predict. Hopkins is old and looked old against Roy. Pascal is fast and young. So i didn't bet.

Pascal sat there and stared at this 46 year old (albeit an absolute specimen of an old man) who isn't known for his activity. Not the way to show your talents.

LoL

Seriously how the **** was NARD more active against Jean

I honestly bet $100 on Nard winnning and started cheering until the scores were read

Jean should have won but thats what great boxig does to you

[check hook]

There is a reason why Hopkins jumped on him after he got by Dawson, When Dawson was the champ Hopkins looked the other way, Pascal alway does his best work early on in fights and by the later rounds he gets tired and thats when the hometown favours comes in.

I agree.....i'm a fan of Hop (though i prefer RJJ and Toney) but he didn't want Dawson, who is a very good boxer and very very fast of hand and foot. Also a combo puncher.

That was pretty much the swing factor in me betting on Hopkins tonight. For all of Hopkins shennanigans, he know's what's up in match-ups in boxing. I thought he 'saw something' in Pascal that he could exploit whereas he clearly didn't think Dawson was worth the risk.

Are you implying that Hopkins ducked Dawson? Well, Hopkins did say he would fight the winner of Dawson/Pascal, so the only person to blame is Dawson for losing that fight. If Dawson had won the fight and THEN Hopkins chose not to fight him, I would understand your case. And also take into consideration that Pascal is a huge draw in Canada and Dawson can't sell out a middle school gym.
