Anyone else think the draw was a fair result?

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

this fight was a draw! BHOP didnt finish him when he should have and pascal didnt do shyt for the majority of the fight. But, pascal was landing some bombs in plenty of rds to get the nod.

STFU and do it again! It was a good fight and we deserve to get a rematch. WOW! I am really saying that about a hopkins fight!

I thought a draw was fair. I mean hopkins clearly won the 6th-12th rounds for me and the first 5 i had pascal winning. so that would give bhop a draw but even if you give bhop one of those first 5 rounds he wins by a point.

dont know why people are calling this a robbery. if you thinks bhop won thats fine but come on now this is in no shape or form a robbery.

After the way Pascal had knocked down Hopkins, I didn't even bother scoring the fight..... but I do remember several close rounds and for a couple of them I had thought Pascal squeaked the round into his column.

Before the fight, everyone including Hopkins knew that he had to win decisively. He started bad with those knock downs and had to win a lot of those rounds clearly. It wasn't that clearly to me to beat the title holder in his home town.

Did Hopkins win more rounds? Yes but he had to, just to get a draw, let alone a win. Showtime commentators had it very close, even many of those who called it robbery said 114-113 or 114-112. That is not robbery.

It was close and deserves a rematch for sure.


I was quite disappointed in Pascal and his corner. The times that I heard the corner (SHOWTIME NEEDS TO IMPROVE IN THAT AREA) I kept on hearing continue your good defense. Well, how about the offense, corner? Maybe they thought after the KOs that they had enough of a lead that they could coast to a win. Especially since they had a 45 year old guy in front of him who just got knocked down twice. Big mistake if they did.

Either way, Hopkins impressed me the way he came back at that age.

Both Pascal and Hopkins fight awkward but it seemed that Hopkins knew more how to fight against Pascal's awkwardness than the other way around.


I recorded the fight so I will have another look and score it but it didn't look like robbery from my initial viewing.

Tbh i thought the draw was a fair result Hopkins won more rounds but i thought the 2 knockdowns made the fight really close. It was no robbery imo.

I agree the fight was no robbery.

[Famoso Matador]

I had it a draw as well. I thought it was funny hearing Hopkins whine and complain, did anyone expect him to do anything else? Hopkins had a great performance, but when Hopkins speaks he is no more then a conman.

A draw was the worst possible scenario, but B-hop won that fight in my book. not a wipe out bt i think he did enough to edge it.

if you scored that fight a draw stop watching boxing right now. you dont even know what you're watching. All the experts had it 114-112 hopkins.

Its half bhops fault for 2 reasons.

1. He chose to fight in canada where they rob americans
2. he did get knocked down twice legitly, he should've respected pascals power more

[Left2theliver]

The 2 knockdowns definitely made it closer, but I thought Hopkins won enough rounds to come back. I had it 114-112 for Hopkins.

didnt Tarver score the fight for Pascal? although i dont think he won.

[DiegoFuego]

so 4, 5, 8 or 9 couldnt have gone either way? none of them?

you think they were all CLEARLY and OBVIOUSLY won by hopkins, with no chance that pascal won any of them?

100% I do.
