Pascal wins again
Stopped Branco in the 10th last Friday night. Good win.
Froch did well to beat him. Pascal is a quality operator with balls.

He's quality with the boxing gloves, too.forcefraser wrote:Stopped Branco in the 10th last Friday night. Good win.

Re: Pascal wins again
he's a good fighter.
not too many have said he was a bad fighter.
world top 10 level fighter.
diaconu weren't very good though was he.
watched him on a couple of undercards and was bored shitless with it. :>
and branco is like 43 yrs old and euro level tbh.
like to see pascal in with cloud, jones jr, johnson, tarver, erdei.

Agree - I aint the biggest Froch fan, but he would have been expected to beat Dianconu and Branco comfortably enough.hitman_hatton1 wrote:he's a good fighter.

Lots of good fighters at Light heavy, be nice if they fought each other. Dawson and Hopkins seem to be #1 and #2... that number #3 position is very much up for grabs - that Campillo, Garay, and that Khazak fighter are all good guys. Brahmer looks to be getting his act together. Murat is good also.
Re: Pascal wins again
He needs to fight somebody of substance next. His last two fights have not really proved much post Froch imo

"So and so is a quality operator with balls" is a phrase i will have to use in that meeting about Risk Assessments tomorrow
Re: Pascal wins again
Diaconu is good. He's a dangerous pressure fighter, with good variety and accuracy, and hits very hard. Problem is, he has been undone by injury (hand) and very bad inactivity.hitman_hatton1 wrote:he's a good fighter.

I can't understand ppl saying Diaconu is poor, or that Pascal "proved nothing" vs him.
Someone try to tell me that the Diaconu of the Hoye fight (whom he smashed to pieces) or the Diaconu from rds 7-12 v Pascal, isn't any good. Pascal and Diaconu are going to fight - again - on a big, atmospheric stage, and hopefully they will sort out the TV situation this time.
Branco is a spoiler, was mandatory, is still fit and well preserved - a light heavy version of Malignaggi, but older. Pascal doesn't like rangy guys and counter punchers, so he had a decent workout. it was a good result, getting the stoppage, due to Branco's experience.

Re: Pascal wins again
I'm a fan of Pascal
Got a heart of a champion
Strong will to win
Good attitudte
Physically strong and muscular
Fit and very well conditioned
Flashy style
He was unlucky not to win the WBC Super Middleweight title - he just happened to bump into a guy who is just as strong and determined as himself in Carl Froch
Both quality operators - and I think their 12 round fight was the making of both Froch and Pascal - both quality fighters
Everyone downplayed Frochs win - because Pascal was a unknown to many - but I rated him and thought it was a very good performance from both fighters
Now Pascal has become WBC Light Heavyweight - shows just what a quality operaoter he is
I like him - he came over to Britian as a underdog to meet a fellow unbeaten fighter and just lost out in a wildly competitive scrap - thats the blue print of a true fighter
But has come on from that - and gone on and progressed his career
Jean Pascal's are good for boxing
Its the likes of Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe who set a negative blueprint for how to manage your career - making 20 defences at your local arean for maxium money and little risk
From a purely finicially selfish point of view - Hatton and Calzaghe done good
But they are not good for boxing as whole
Jean Pascal is though

Re: Pascal wins again
Branco about 65 years old. Adrian Diaconu II and Tavoris Cloud would be ideal fights

Re: Pascal wins again
Branco lost to Woodhall 14 years ago - I actually credit that as the best performance of Woodhalls career.
He's very long in the tooth now, and I would have thought a young gunner like Pascal would have dealt with this a bit quicker than he did.

I think that maybe that's the thing with Pascal, he may not have took this fight very seriously. I mean, how could he ?Twinkle Toes wrote:Branco lost to Woodhall 14 years ago - I actually credit that as the best performance of Woodhalls career.

He was sending out messages on facebook asking if i was attending his 'after-fight party' right before the fight.
I said i couldn't get a babysitter.... (or a return ticket to Canada

Re: Pascal wins again
hes as strong as an ox at light heavy asnd would be extremely hard going for anyone bar bernard hopknis who would probably be too crafty
he is definetly a true champion and im looking forward to seeing him again
credit must also go to branco who is still operating at the top level fighting the young guns even at his advance d age
