I have to admit, he did great, but I hope it doesn't go to his head and he puts on a less exciting effort next time out.

Yes Hopkins was the better boxer, but, if you actually score the fight, it is close. I had it 114-112 for Hopkins - that's giving one of the very scrappy rounds (I think maybe 8 or thereabouts) to Pascal. I can perhaps see another one of the close rounds given to Pascal - at a push. I find it difficult to give enough for Pascal to win.

All that said, Hopkins is making out like he destroyed him, which is not really the case. He did get dropped twice. He did have one or two very scrappy and difficult to score rounds, which, like it or not, would tend to go towards the home fighter and the champion.

Hopkins was and is clearly better and he schooled him in a purely boxing sense. But if he wants to go on about clearly winning the fight then he should have been able to put more distance between them in terms of points. Watch the fight and score it again - you'll probably give it to Hopkins by one or two, but a draw was not a robbery.
