B'Hop vs Pascal rematch.

[Walt Liquor]

Immediate rematch, but it should be somewhere up north. It won't draw shi t to vegas.

Buffalo, Philly, MSG, somewhere not to far for those frenchies to travel to.

I think he will also. He seemed unusually flat in the first fight. Second time around he should get it right. You never know though, he has sort of seemed disinterested as of late. Money issues, getting involved with too many outside influences. His bad fight may not have been a one-off, but could have been the beginning of a trend.

either that or he's not as good as hyped up to be

He is good. He has fought some tough customers. Anyone who can get through Johnson twice and Adamek has the goods. I just don't think his head is in the sport as much since he hooked up with Prince.

I would rather it be in Philly. Oscar has Nevada so in his pocket Pascal would be better off fighting in Philly. Whitaker and Sturm would agree!LOL

Also Bhop was not as screwed over like so many of you think. Watch the fight again. Score 10-8 rounds as 10-8 rounds instead of trying to give bhop a break here and there. You will see how close that fight was in the end. It felt like Hop won because he was the one doing the late rally and the underdog.

I have never seen a close fight be called such a "robbery" before. Even the commentators had it close. This robbery bullsh|t has gotten way out of hand.

Yeah. I'm not calling it a robbery. It looks that way to a lot of people, based on Hopkins winning so many more rounds. But once you include the knockdowns, the scores are close.

The knockdowns make the scores close, which makes the fight itself appear closer than it actually was. But they must be counted, nonetheless.

I agree 100%. IF he's got his heart in it.

I don't even know if I'd support a rematch. It's not that ol' snaggletooth doesn't deserve another shot; Bernard won a very close fight in my eyes. Rather, he's at that advanced age where its a miracle more serious stamina and speed issues aren't apparent and even the ageless wonder answers to father time.

There's no guarantee Hopkins can continue to fight on the level he was with Pascal the first time. That, and the fact that the young champion just went twelve and should feel a little more confidence the second time around, and I see no certainty that we'll be watching the same fight.

You can't always bottle lightning. Bernard may have just had his last great performance spoiled by those knockdowns early in the fight. Shame.
