After viewing the video tape, Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins has some new statements regarding Saturday night’s draw against WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal. “I knew if they could they take it from me they would and now that I have had the chance to review the fight on tape, I clearly know I won that fight,” said Hopkins. “Jean Pascal, his corner and all of the Canadians in the arena and on television know I won the fight too. The crowd was loud in the beginning but the silence was deafening as I dominated Pascal from the middle rounds all the way to the end of the fight. After the last round Pascal went back to his corner with his head and hands down. I am sure he is still hanging his head today to think he let a 45-year old man beat him up the way I did. If I were him, I would want to redeem myself and my reputation immediately after what happened Saturday night.”
“Again it is crazy to think that a 45-year-old fighter like myself threw and landed more punches than this so-called young gun, the current champion and still I am not given the win,” said Hopkins. “Watch the tape. The poor guy was running scared, winded and backing up from round six and on. He seemed to just be holding on for dear life. But he knows what happen in there and he has to live with it too. The film doesn’t lie but I bet he doesn’t even watch the tape so he, and all his people around him, can tell him something other than the truth. He lost the fight.”
Hopkins continued. “The whole thing is bad for boxing, bad for Pascal and especially bad for Canada. Pascal knows he should do the right thing and fight me as soon as tomorrow.”
“Pascal is a hard punching, a young gun you gave it his all Saturday night,” said Hopkins. “But he is 18 years younger than me and that speaks for itself. It showed Saturday night too by just getting a draw, which everyone knows is really a loss, against a 45 year old man. If this guy has a backbone and wants to walk around with his any kind of dignity and self-worth, the only thing he can do is fight me again. If that was me I know that is the only way I could really live with myself.”
