Anyone else feel Pascal got robbed?

[Weebler I]

I rewatched it not long ago, it was close on the cards until the last three rounds which Froch won clear and the fight. No controversy, just a tough fight Pascal lost.

i haven't seen it in quite a while. i felt it was a close fight when i saw it last.


unless one guy is really taking it to the other, when you're at ringside, and ssubjected to all of the limitations of scoring a boxing match live, it can be damn near impossible to score close rounds without some measure of faith.

Yes. But the ref jumping in and stopping the fight just as Jean was about to KO Kovalev was even worse.

It wasn't even that close close. Pascal had moments and won his customary 4 rounds.

It was a clear victory for Froch.

Hell of a fight, watched it live in Nottingham. Didn't score it (difficult to do whilst drinking beer, talking to others etc.) but remember thinking it was bloody close. Me and my mate weren't sure whether Froch had won or not.

Difficult to say without scoring it round-by-round whilst watching on TV, but from memory having watched it live it looked fairly even, so i'd have to say robbed is certainly too strong a term.

I've never heard this before, I don't think even Pascal thought he won, did he?

All I remember from the time was:

Early rounds - masturbating furiously at a good fight. My mum wasn't pleased.

Later rounds - Pascal does his now-customary gas out.


Let's face it, he got outboxed by Carl "Sugar" Froch... a feat not unlike losing to Amir Khan in a punch resistance competition.

froch won by 4 rounds easy, easy fight to score, as was the dirrell froch fight, which again froch won by 4 rounds easy.

The word robbery is banding around far to much...

Close fights are not robberies

You can't be the original Larry.

I don't recall my scorecard, may have only been 7-5 for me (I was too busy wanking), but it was a clear cut win IMO.

The Dirrell fight, not so much. I thought Andre was terrific and made Froch look like a **** for much of it. The only problem was, Andre hit the canvas about 19 times... and none of it from a punch.
