Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Jean Pascal Was Exposed, He Ran For His Life

[jayhova123]

Hopkins is constantly trying to sell himself as a main attraction but the bottom line is that he is such a boring guy to watch. When is the last time he gave an exciting show?

Why are you even posting in the thread? Did you not watch the fight....the 46 year old grampa put on one of the most exciting fights of the year!...came from 2 knockdowns (1 was bs) and still schools a 28 year old LHW champion.

....oh i see you have Margarito in ur little picture there.....ur still mad about ****m catching him red handed....lmao...get over it loser...

I am willing to bet $10k on this forum that Hopkins will NOT fight Chad Dawson once Dawson beats Pascal.
Hopkins will fight ONLY when he knows he will win that is why he cherry picks his opponents. Every single fight he has had since his defeat of Trinidad was hand picked.
Hopkins is a punk ass hypocrite who used to **** men when he was in prison. And I don't even care for Pascal so nobody should say I am Canadian.

The only thing legendary about Hopkins career is him beating smaller guys or fighters more famous than him.
He is not a draw and capitalizes on other more established names.

so hopkins "cherry picked" the guy who beat dawson , but you say hes duckin dawson?.... case u havent noticed , Pascal called hopkins out, not the other way around, idiot

Agreed that Hopkins won't fight Dawson. But, I'd hardly call it cherry-picking. He's a 46 year old man who fights young champions - the man is a marvel. The thing is - he's too old to be able to outbox someone with Dawson's movement. That fight is a stylistic nightmare for him. Let's just congratulate him for what he has done and is still doing rather than implying that he's some sort of ***** for not taking every really hard fight that comes his way while in his mid forties.

I was hoping B-hop would lose but i have to say he basically made a young guy run for dear life, For a 45 year old to do that is bloody impressive.

cong****.....I'm giving you some red.....I rarely play the red game....as a matter of fact, I have given out one red k the whole year....and that was for a poster wishing death on a boxer....this post is not as bad as that was but I'm stuck in the house due to the bad snow storm in my area and I hate being stuck in the house....what I hate more is "HATERS"......

Kudos to Hopkins for his effort.....I feel he fought a good fight, deserved to get the victory.....Pascal in my humble opinion embarassed himself, he talked all this crap, but he didn't fight like a champion.....Problem is he scored those two knockdowns and thought he won the fight with just that.....He ran away from Bhop, held on way too much...and basically did get exposed......Chad Dawson should totally rip right thru him in the rematch.....

[STREET CLEANER]

Yup Pascal ran his ass off, that ring was huge more than 21' and it had a purpose in helping Pascal. I said it before Pascal fights in spurts and that works into B-Hop style. Pascal does have fast hands and speed gives B-Hop alot of problems

I was thinking the same thing, that Pascal called out Hopkins. But, with that said, I don't think he will fight Chad Dawson if Dawson beats Pascal in their rematch (which I think Dawson will win the rematch)...

Why fight Dawson

The only reason Hopkins won't fight Dawson is because he's not a ticket draw. He can't even sell out the arena in his home town.

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.

spot on...nard is overexaggerating the situation again....a total asswhooping it was not...good effort to comeback the way he did...but not a total asswhooping..especially with no ko....tired of hearing about hopkins complain about getting robbed when it was a close fight....
