I watched the fight and here is my detailed scorecard.
1 Pascal 10-8 (Pascal winning the round plus KD)
2 Hopkins 10-9 (Close round)
3 Pascal 10-8 (Hopkins down, and Pascal landed nice shots leading up to the KD as well)
4 ?Even?
5 Pascal 10-9
6 Hopkins 10-9
7 Hopkins 10-9
8 Pascal 10-9 (Close Round)
9 Pascal 10-9
10 Hopkins 10-9
11 Hopkins 10-9
12 Hopkins 10-9
My final score is 114-113 in favour of Jean Pascal.
Please note that I have only watched the fight once, and sometimes when watching the fight a second time, you can have a differing opinion.
While I do think round 8, which I scored for Pascal, could have been closer to even. That still renders a 114-114 DRAW.
Either way,
THIS WAS A CLOSE FIGHT. This was not a robbery. Hopkins was not robbed, and honestly I dont think he won the fight.
Even if Hopkins did win the fight, it was by a margin of only 1 or 2 points, and THUS, ITS STILL NOT A ROBBERY.
A Robbery is when a fighter wins like 8 rounds to 4 with no knockdowns but sitll loses (ie Kotelnik/Alexander)
