The Boxing thread

What time is the Hopkins v Pascal fight on? Also tonight the German fighter Marco Huck is defending his WBO title against Dennis Lebedev both fighters have been KOing people for fun. This has the potential to be a decent fight tonight. Used to love some of the German fights Setanta used to show.

As for the BHop Pascal fight I would normally go for BHop as he always finds a way of nicking rounds and fighting his fight. Pascal fighting in Canada on the other hand is a totally different option. I am sitting on the fence it wont shock me if BHop wins it but the man needs to call it a day he is going on 46 in a months time knock it on the head BHop and retire while you still have your marbles.

how did you guys score the Khan/Maidana fight? I'm re-watching and scoring it this time, I'm on round 10.

116-110 I think I had it. Found it hard to give Maidana more than 4 rounds.

really? I've been determined to not listen to the truly biased commentary and It's been pretty even for me...ended up 114-111 to Khan, 2 10-8's making the difference.

20:00ET. Hopkins is from Philly and thus a local fighter but I'm really getting bored with him. I know he trains hard and is always prepared but lately he's only been prepared to fight dirty and try to smother his opponent with rough house tactics.

Yeah, I gave Maidana the last 3 and 1 other round, can't remember which, I'd have to watch it again. Khan was teeing off on Maidana for the majority of those rounds.

lol, I gave Khan 11 and 12 because I didn't think Maidana did enough seeing how far he was on top in round 10, but there were rounds in the middle of the fight where Khan didn't really do a lot, so Maidana sneaked a couple there.

I had it the same.

I'd rather Khan fought Ortiz than Peterson. I suppose a Judah fight would be easier to sell if you market Judah as being a bit snide - which he is. I'd love to see him fight Maidana again although he'd have to be mad to take that fight.
 
Hopkins just got robbed.

Majority Draw.

Pascal put Hopkins down twice early on. Scrappy knockdowns, 1 behind the head. Hopkins swept second half of the fight. It was close because of the knockdowns, but all in all Hopkins deserved to win.
 
It was a tight fight no matter how people scored it. I will say that the draw wasnt a bad call as some of the rounds were tight. BHop rolled back the years last night it was the best preformace from BHop in a long time. In a US venue maybe BHop would of got the win but thats how the cookie crumbles. I didnt like what he said at the end of the fight. Saying he was robbed but he has be on some decesions were he got the win when he didnt deserve it.
Maybe a rematch in the US will be good for Pascal as if he beats BHop in the US then he will be in line for the big money fights. Maybe against 1 of the winners of the Super 6 or even a fight with Lician Bute if he moves up a weight division could be made or even Froch rematch.
 
I just watched it now, fell asleep last night after a couple of rounds. I scored it 114-112 Hopkins, but a few of those rounds could've gone either way. Most of the 50-50 rounds I leaned towards giving Hopkins. I don't think it was a robbery by any stretch of the imagination because of the knockdowns. Hats off to B-Hop but he can't have many complaints about the draw imo.
