If PASCAL won Just TWO (2) Rounds from the 4th to the 12th... he WINS the fight...

[Kball15]

People are so quick to yell ROBBERY, but look at the fight.

Pascal won the first 3 rounds with 2 knockdowns, which means 2 2-point rounds.


IF he wins ANY 2 ROUNDS from the 4th to the 12th, a draw or a win isn't that unbelievable, despite the fact that Hopkins dominated the 2nd half of the fight.

But I do agree that Hopkins deserved the victory even still. but its not as Ridiculous as some people are making it out to be

Actually you could score one or both of those knockdown rounds a 10-9 being that hopkins won the round.*

Also many people believe hopkins won round 2 as well.


*People tend to forget a knockdown means a 10 point MUST, it is NOT a 10-8 must. If the person who is knockdown wins the round besides the knockdown, you can score it a 10-9.

2 big time robberies at the end of the year

Lebedev got jobbed big time
and Hopkins got jobbed in front of 16k people.

I mean, is the ONLY chance to beat a fighter in another country to KTFO him?

You are right - but that is only "IF" Pascal won 2 more rounds - which he did NOT do. Also, the 1st round could have and probably should have been a 10-9 round for Pascal since Hopkins actually won the round by punches landed.

That, and the fact that it was an illegal punch to the back of the head and should never have been called a knock down to begin with...

i approve of this thread. only reason ppl say hopkins won coz hes an old guy and belongs in an old folks home

In boxing the automatic 10-8 scoring for a knockdown messes up a lot of fight scoring. Fighters losing the whole round score flash knock downs and people give them 10-8. How can you score that the same as someone winning the round decisively then getting a knockdown? Another issue is people scoring dominating rounds 10-9 just because there isn't a knockdown and fighter doesn't return too many punches or maybe out on their feet.

Nice post - and you are EXACTLY right - you know about boxing rules of scoring, well done...

how could u say they win a round when they got KTFD?

[LoadedWraps]

Hopkins won that fight legit, the second knockdown wasn't a proper knockdown it was a blow to the back of the head.
Bhop even has the balls to call judges in canada corrupt!
I only gave Pascal the first two rounds lol.
Bhop looks outstanding for 45, don't hate.

Al Bernstein said himself on the broadcast that the 2nd knockdown round should have only been scored 10-9 and not 10-8. Pascal literally did nothing for 2:50 of that round and landed one lucky punch that surprised Hopkins and dropped him. He was up at the count of .5 and clearly not hurt. If I had been a judge no way that was a 10-8 round.

And as was already said, Pascal was shutout after the 4th.
