    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.
    Hopkins won by 4 rounds easily and should have been more for knockdowns.

    Pascal is nothing special...

      Degale should take a leaf out of his book... With his Mayweather style swagger what a joke. Very humble Pascal.

        Bernard "Soapy" Hopkins is as he says the American dream: like Goldman Sachs, he has made lying and cheating an art form. Gotta admire the stones of a 46-yr-old PED user doing push-ups half-way through a match. Not to mention blatantly thumbing and headbutting his opponents. Bernard doesn't just cheat, he rubs people's noses in it and says, "What are you gonna do about it??"

        That's the American way.

          Jean did show class and good sportsmanship but it's because he learned a lot in this fight about himself. I think he realized that Hopkins is a truly great fighter and that Hopkins is a bit better than him. When you try your best and still come up short it can be a truly humbling experience. The fight may of hurt Pascal as a boxer but he will become a better man because of it and at the end of the day it's better to come out as a great man, than a great fighter. Just my honest opinion.

            The American dream involves being innocent until proven guilty, but idiots like you have convicted him as a steroid user without a shred of evidence. And to ignore the rough tactics Pascal was using as well is showing how ignorant you are.

              Yeah, because that's exactly how the United States became the most history rich nation in boxing and a super power. Americans don't work hard and take the easy way out......right.

                there are plenty of people who give calzaghe credit, some people don't.

                that's totally besides the point last night had nothing to do with calzaghe and you shouldn't give props based on what some fans think about a completely different fight/fighter.

                you sound bitter man. Hopkins deserves his props.

                  i scored it 8 rounds to 4 for pascal. those weren't knockdowns either because dirty hopkins was using his anti-gravity machine to make pascal slip and fall so he had to catch himself using his gloves.

                    America came into existence with the European white man lying to and cheating and swindling and murdering the Native Americans, and little has changed since.

                    The United States is populated with rich Wall Street crooks who don't work hard at all, except maybe work hard at lying and cheating, and those who really "work hard" and are all poor, like Mexican immigrants. And there's all kinds of ****** lazy arseholes in between those extremes of wealth.

                      You sound so intelligent. I have issues with the U.S. too, but I try not to sound as intelligent as you when I do it.
