Jean Pascal showed CLASS and GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP last night

Fight wasn't close at all, and it should have been ever a wider margin, but Hopkins didn't receive the two legit knockdowns.It was a very close fight, I scored it as a close decision win for Jean Pascal. Dan Rafael scored it a draw.
But Jean Pascal accepted the judges decision like a man. He showed CLASS and GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, instead of whining about being robbed like certain crybaby boxers do whenever thay lose a close decision.
Props to Jean Pascal - he's still young, I have a feeling we haven't seen the best of him yet.
I will give Pascal some credit for not making excuses last night, although he said since he was in Canada the close rounds should have gone to him during the post fight presser (what a joke that was). However, he was completely classless leading up to the fight so that probably negates what he earned last night. He was a broken man the 6th round.Comment

Yes, Pascal wasn't obligated to give Bernard a rematch but he did.
Since both fights were close, Bernard should man up and give Pascal a rematch to a 3rd fight, just as Pascal gave to him.Comment

Pascal is one of the worst light heavyweight champs of all time and has no drive. He tried to fight Hopkins with a low workrate, and yet still gassed out throwing sloppy combos and even let him off the hook in the 12th round when he finally had him hurt and stopped throwing punches.
There is a 0 percent chance that Pascal won that fight. Its literally impossible to score the fight for him.Comment

Except he was by the WBC immediately following the fight or he would be stripped of his title. The first fight was close, but Hopkins clearly won this fight.
I find it funny that the only people claiming Pascal was robbed and deserves a rematch are Canadians that were talking unbelievable smack before this fight. Eat your crow and move on. How about Pascal proves he deserves to stay at the top and fight someone like Cloud or Glen Johnson.Comment

Will you show the same level of class and sportsmanship if Haye does the unthinkable and beats Wlad? Yeah I know its highly unlikely, but you claim to be a fair boxing fan, so will you?It was a very close fight, I scored it as a close decision win for Jean Pascal. Dan Rafael scored it a draw.
