Second knockdown was a thing of beauty

[Mr. Philadel]

the 2nd knock down was VERY legit....nice shot by Pascal....but the old man recovered well and came back strong....don't wanna sound like I'm taking anything away from Pascal because it was DEFINITELY a good shot and LEGIT knock down....nothing to dispute about that....that 1st one was bull**** though...the ref was even unsure at first...I think he was instructed by a outside official to rule it a knock down because he first sent Pascal to the neutral, then looked at someone outside the ring, then turned to B.Hop and began the eight count....crazy!!

Actually he was looking to pick up the count from an official (which is the norm) but didn't seem to get what he was looking for so started from scratch. I think he caught the official sleeping at the wheel.

he did adjust quite impressively

Correct me if I'm wrong (I can't look at the video at the moment), but wasn't Hopkins caught when he was relaxed against the ropes?

I remember thinking when it landed that he could've taken it if he weren't so limp when he got caught with it.
