Hopkins Pascal has been a great fight so far! Heading into the final round

majority draw... probably the right call. That was a terrific fight. I don't remember the last time I've seen such a competitive fight at the championship level in boxing. It was nice to see.

Wow that was an exciting fight... I mean Hopkins was in a exciting and close fight.

I thought he won it, but a draw isn't blasphemy. I know everyone hates them, but I think it is justified in this fight.

Nice touch by Showtime by showing their highlights of the year... HBO, why don't you take notice and actually show some esp after you announce it.

I scored it 114-112 Hopkins

Jim Gray pretty biased in the end there, and I have to think in favor of the bigger name.

I'm fine with draws. I think there should be more of them. If neither can distinguish himself, why should one be given all the recognition in the record books?

I don't think that first one was a KD. IDK. At the very least, not every KD is equal. Neither of those hurt Hopkins, they were a matter of balance. Those two, in particular, should not guarantee 10-8 rounds. Did all three judges score them as 10-8s?

there's no room for complaint from Hopkins. if there were bias, he wouldn't be getting the majority of those final 9 rounds from all 3 judges.

Oh ****, Malignaggi was fighting last night??

I had it 115-111 for Hopkins, which means I had him winning the last 9 rounds but I knew a couple of those close rounds would go to Pascal.

Oh ****, Malignaggi was fighting

Got a TKO too.

Still pissed off that HBO didn't have a year ender... but this makes up for it...

I love GP... and the Network speech.

^Awesome.

One thing GP does better than anyone else is match the lyrics in the song (or words in the Network speech in this case) to the action thats happening in the video. That's how all montages should be.

In a seismic shift in the boxing business landscape, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum closed a deal with Showtime and sister network CBS to handle the pay-per-view fight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley -- instead of HBO -- multiple sources told ESPN.com on Friday.

Post #1457 » by **Rich Rane** » Sat Jan 22, 2011 3:50 pm

I'm going to guess Arum is still pissed about HBO taking Sergio Martinez's fight (although no one is scheduled to fight him just yet) over Cotto's fight.

Eh...the boxing world would be better off without him. I have no idea how people can be so stupid with their money.

I agree.

It's time for Vander to hang the gloves up.
