Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins II, billed as Dynasty II, was a professional boxing match contested on May 21, 2011, for the WBC, IBO, and The Ring light heavyweight championship.[1]
Three weeks after they fought to a highly disputed draw, the WBC ordered a rematch between Jean Pascal and Bernard Hopkins, with the winner obligated to face Chad Dawson afterwards.[2] When Pascal defeated Dawson by 11th-round technical decision in August 2010, Dawson had a rematch clause in his contract in the event of a loss which allowed both fighters to take interim bouts before the rematch was due. Dawson choose not take one but Pascal did, and fought Hopkins.
Despite claiming he didn't want a rematch in Canada,[3] the bout was held at Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec and was televised on HBO.[4]
The referee for the fight was Brit Ian John-Lewis, and the judges were Philippines' Rey Danseco, Anek Hongtongkam of Thailand, and Italy's Guido Cavalleri.[5]
The bout began with both fighters feeling each other out for the first few rounds. In the third round, Hopkins began to find success with the right hand and shook the knees of Pascal. In the fourth round, both fighters exchanged power shots frantically with Hopkins looking slightly wobbled at the end of the round. Later on, before the seventh round began, Hopkins began doing push-ups in the ring. In the ninth round, Pascal's glove touched the mat after a cupping shot and was ruled a slip. This occurred again in the tenth. The fight again went the distance, with all thre judges scoring the bout in favour of Hopkins, with scores of 116–112, 115–114 and 115–113. HBO's Harold Lederman had the bout scored 115–113 for Hopkins, while ESPN's Dan Rafael scored the bout a 114–114 draw.
This made Hopkins the oldest boxer in history to win a world title.[6] [7]
Following Chad Dawson undercard victory he faced Hopkins in October.[8]
After more than a year out of the ring, Pascal was slated to challenge Tavoris Cloud for the IBF light-heavyweight title on 11 August 2012, but a hand injury forced him to pull out of the fight. Pascal finally returned to the ring on 14 December 2012 against Aleksy Kuziemski.[9]
