      It was a close fight because of the two knock downs. Plus I had three rounds that could have gone either way or been even rounds. I don't think Hopkins was robbed like a lot of people do. I think a draw was the right decision.

        Sweeped it from the 4th? There is no way Hopkins won the 5th.

        IMO, Pascal won 1(10-8), 2, 3(10-8), 5
        Hopkins won: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11.
        Rounds that could go either way: 4, 10, 12

        If you give only 1 of the close rounds to Pascal, he gets a draw.

        Body language isn't proof of anything. It is the same as to say that someone's face looked worse than his rival's. Pascsal wasn't happy with his performance, but that doesn't mean he thinks he lost.

          I had it close also. Here is my score I have it recorded.

          Pascal won 1(10-8),2,3(10-8)

          Hopkins won 6,7,8 but close,9,10 but close,11

          I had rounds 4,5,12 as even rounds could have gone either way. Hopkins only won by a point on my scoring. But as you can see there were 5 rounds that im not sure about as they were close.So a draw was a good decision imo.

                I scored the fight a draw, giving a couple of close rounds to Hopkins. It could easily have been scored a close decision win for Pascal.

                I thought Al Bernstein's commentary was very biased in favor of Hopkins and against Pascal, so he mislead the viewers as he often does.

                The interview of Pascal by Jim Gray was a complete disgrace.

                The only honorable one on the Showtime crew that night was Antonio Tarver, who rose above the silly nationalism and made fair and objective comments.


                How do you even turn this fight into something political is beyond me. Take it easy with the nationalism comments. BHop is a huge draw, most casual boxing fans and maybe some hardcore fans still dont know who the hell Pascal is. So when you see an apparent champ running and not really landing a crisp shot for more that 8 rounds. To the average boxing champ, they're gonna go the way of the guy they know. It just so happens Bhop was an american, so when you see the guy u know outboxing someone and losing, ya the casual fan will think it's from the hometown judges....Sillyness all around with that comment man...

                I think it was a draw only cause i'm old school. You gotta knock out the champ to take his belt. But Bhop took him to school..the 2nd knock down was really sketch too...

                  1- We don't have the same definition of "hardcore boxing fan" if to you a hardcore fan can possibly not know who the lineal champ of one of the most publicised weight class is.

                  2- That the casual fan thinks BHop won because they know him or something doesn't bother me at all. But the commentators are supposed to be professionnals. In this fight, their biased commentary (especially Grey's interview with Pascal) were highly unprofessional. And a hardcore fan shouldn't care if he knows the fighter or not when he scores a fight. He scores rounds, not the amount of love he has for a fighter.

                  3- For more than 8 rounds? Hopkins himself said that he won 7. If you do the math, it makes a draw (Hop probably didn't realise that when he made his comment...).

                    There is no way pascal has won the fight at all. The best he could do is a draw if you give him all of the close rounds even with the two knockdowns. Maybe if he didn't fight like a ****ing bum after the third round and got put to school then he could win the fight. Dude clearly lost 8 of the 9 rounds after roun.d 3.
