    Anyone else feel Pascal got robbed?

    Anyone else feel Pascal got robbed when he fought Carl Froch in Nothingham? He dominated the early rounds, edged most of the middle rounds and just barely lost the late rounds. I'm a great Froch fan, as everyone here knows, but I honestly couldn't analyze the Pascal fight without feeling that Froch should be glad if he had even gotten a draw, Pascal was just clearly 4 rounds ahead. He made Froch miss most of his punches and he made Froch seem nervous at times. Nervous for a good reason, Pascal was ****ing him in the head at will with those wild and powerful punches! Froch barely landed any power punches in this fight, it was mainly ineffective jabs. Which rounds did you see Froch win? Please elaborate.

    Froch-Pascal was a very close fight. It could have gone either way. The cards should have been closer.

    Look to Froch-Dirrell if you want to highlight a robbery.

      Close fights are not robberies

        It really wasn't close. Please rewatch the match, Pascal clearly won 7-8 of the 12 rounds. Froch barely did any damage while Pascal was hurting and confusing him constantly.

          Yes and no. Depends what you mean by a close fight. A fight can be 7-5, which is close on paper, but it can be clearly 7-5. Nevertheless some people would claim that a 7-5 fight couldn't possibly be a robbery. I don't think that's true.

            Very close fight. I can't recall what I scored it but it definitely wasn't a robbery.

            A rematch would have been worthy.

                Not at all, would have been a robbery if Pascal won. IIRC 8-4 Froch, maybe even after 8 then Pascal gassed badly and lost the rest

                  The thing i remember is that Froch was getting the better of it when they exchanged. I think you're full of shit TS.

                    A close but clear 7-5 Froch from what I remember.
