Comments Thread For: Schaefer is 1000% Right on Bernard Hopkins Ripoff

[UglyPug]

WHOA, thinking waayy too much into the situation. it is what it is. sometimes in boxing, you need a draw. sometimes in boxing, THERE ARE DRAWS! and to try to purposely eliminate draws from happening is like trying to interfere with genetics or some ****. I think the fight last night WAS A DRAW. I can't think of any other proper winner. When you can score a fight ten times, and each time have a different winner, then a draw is appropriate. this article is entirely your opinion, and has no valid place. BOXING IS FINE. DRAWS ARE FINE. IF U THINK A ROUND IS EVEN, THEN SCORE IT EVEN rather than trying to CONVINCE YOURSELF who won, and make the wrong choice. STFU and write about something better

what you guys fail to realize is that a 45 / 46 year old man got robbed of history! Which inturn would have helped the sport out. I have yet to see anyone say pascal deserved victory or anything positive about the outcome of the fight. I even saw a post where someone tried to go over alot of the bad decisions that foreign fighters have had to endure coming over here - well that is wrong also! And by justifying what Bhop got over in canada because of the bad decisions some foreign fighters got over here is a child like approach to the problem! A man would have said this is what makes boxing bad. To people saying he needs to hang them up etc.. its not your decision. BHop looked better than Chad Dawson against pascal. Whenever Bernard Hopkins fights I watch it, because for a man at that age to destroy so many young fighters is amazing, and the look on Pascals face after the fight tells the story - he got his ass whoopped!!! he will not be the same after this, he dropped hopkins early because it takes awhile for a 46 year old man to warm up and acclimate PERIOD! dude hopkins out landed this dude in every round!

great post man, very intelligent and sensible, unlike 90% of these posters on here

Just because a fight has close scoring totals doesn't mean the fight itself had close rounds...it didn't

Aside from maybe the 9th, Pascal lost rounds 5-12 cleanly and clearly

Shaefer is one to say that Boxing is corrupt? LOL. You forgot about Malignaggi-Diaz 1 Richard? You forgot about how GBP is a crooked organization itself?

Hey,
Felix Sturm beat Oscar and he got robbed.
Sergio Martinez beat PW in the first fight and got Robbed.
Sergio Martinez beat Cintron and got robbed.
Ali Funeka beat Guzman and got robbed.
Do you see what the connection is between these fighters who got robbed? They are all foreigners who came to America and got robbed.

So quit whining about Hopkins and move on. If Hopkins is really the man, why did he refuse to fight Chad Dawson?
Hopkins is a punk and used to **** men when he was in prison.

U never got anything taken away from you right???
U never worked months for something and have it taken away... I bet if someone stole you $7,000 you would be like a ***** crying...this doesn't compare to the decision made last night

[Aut_72]

Whether Juanma get the nod as Pacman’s upcoming punch bag ... wtf!?!?!?

happy holidays payroll.

So, what you're saying Marley is that the US judge got it exactly right with his scorecard of 114-112, but the Canadian judge who gave one single round the other way making it 114-114, is a disgrace, that was highway robbery and the entire sport needs to change and that they should be executed?

So there was one round that they gave the other way and that is cause for writing an entire article on robbery?

Why didn't you write the same type of article for Lebedev/Huck?

Or is it just the tenth round scoring that is the reason you are calling the whole thing robbery? If they had called the twelfth even...what then?

Anyway, Hopkins won it very closely, but got screwed. It wasn't highway robbery at all. So did other fighters yesterday. I haven't seen a single thread on that fight today and yet there are fifty on Hopkins and the Hopkins fight was much less of a robbery (if you could even call it a real 'robbery') than the other one was. From this article, it sounds as if it's just a close fight that went the wrong way because of one single round being scored the other way.

Go watch the other fight in which one fighter probably also only won three, four, five rounds (however you saw it) but in which there wasn't a single KD and the winner was also doing nothing but running the whole second half of the fight.

Please, no one bring up history etc. It's the only reason this fight has been getting the attention it has been. If it was a fight without any history to it, no one would blink an eyelid at the score.
