Second knockdown was a thing of beauty

[Tiozzo]

Some people think the punch landed to the chest of Hopkins.

I don't. How could a punch to the chest have such a devastating and immediate effect on your legs ? Because once the punch landed, Hopkins legs turned dead, and he crumbled.

Look in my sig. Small GIF of the action.

click on ''Pascal l'emporte par décision majoritaire'' in the video section

you'll get to see some other angles of the knockdown


I believe the punch clocked Hopkins on the tip of his chin.

Yep that was a sweet knockdown and at that time I was thinking that my prediction of a Pascal KO victory was just getting closer and closer.....but that **** didn't happen.

Yeah , the 2nd knockdown was legit .. But still Bhop got robbed big time .. TABARNAK !!!!

hop was getting caught all night with that punch, pascal lost the fight with his usual stamina issues and his habit of taking 4 consecutive rounds off

yes, Pascal was timing Hopkins when he was on the attack and loading this left hook

on other occasions, like for this KD, he was leading with punches that would miss to ultimately land the left hook

as you said, he landed it several times


Pascal may have lost the fight, but he doesn't get enough credit for really hitting Hopkins with many, flush great shots

I mean, who has landed quality shots like that on Hopkins during the last years ?

yes, it looked like it after that second KD...

I thought Hopkins borrowed time was up, and then, he came back,,, the rest is history

well pascal looked great for 3 rounds after that he got whooped and bernard knocked him down in the 11th but wasnt counted

it was no knock down, no punch was landed

I watched that knockdown in slow motion and i feel it should have counted. Hopkins caught him with the right as they were exchanging shots and Pascal fell.

Regarding Pascals second knockdown, it was legit. It was a nice short left hook up close that Hopkins didn't see, Hopkins recovered instantly though.

The guy's basically 46 yrs old, he's gonna get caught sometimes - it was a legit flash knockdown.
