Comments Thread For: Pascal: I Had “Bad Night,” Still Best Light Heavyweight

[taste]

Why not be a little bit humble ???

When a boxer I enjoy watching gets beat and the question of a potential rematch is discussed, I'd expect (Hope) to hear an analytical approach....

I'd much more respect a response more along these lines::: " I lost to a disciplined well-prepared fighter...
He made the adjustments better than I did, and proved worthy of the title... In retrospect, I've realized how to exploit his style and thwart his attack... I'm looking forward to challenge and am grateful for the opportunity to prove to my fans that I truly am the best this division has to offer ! "

You lose credibility when you say I am the best, but had a bad night.. Tell us, you lost and have grown from the experience... That you are more focused and driven to avenge the loss...

I agree 100%, but at least it wasn't "I'll show you my toe now - it's busted. I couldn't explode. My Hayemaker wasn't there."

Yeah, some fighters need to call it how it is and not discredit the guy who beat them. He was beaten by a better fighter and that's it. I'm tired of fighters making excuses now. Pacquiao's phantom shoulder injury while throwing shots with no problem. Pascal actually did ok in the fight, showed a lot of heart but was just in with a top fighter. They need to just admit they lost, give respect and say they would like a rematch in time because they learned a lot from the first fight and believe it will be different.

They should understand that discrediting your opponent is actually diminishing your achievements if you went on and beat them in a rematch. Or in discrediting your opponents talents when they meet you is actually saying more about your own talent if you couldn't beat them.

You're not the best LHW, Pascal. You're bordering "shot" if I've ever seen it.
