Now we can say it, though we may not want to believe it: Yes, his bloodlust appeared to be a natural extension of his fractured psyche. Over the years, several fighters with similarly destructive styles–among them Mike Tyson, Frank Fletcher, Tony Ayala, and James Kirkland–have found themselves unable to curb their hostility. <a href="http://thecruelestsport.com/2010/12/31/tcs-2010-story-of-the-year-the-disinherited-edwin-valero-1981-2010/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook" target="new">Read more...</a></p></div> http://www.theboxingbulletin.com/2010/12/31/1905954/tcs-2010-story-of-the-year-the-disinherited-edwin-valero-1981-2010 thenonpareil 2010-12-21T09:30:31Z 2010-12-21T09:30:31Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://safesideoftheropes.com/2010/12/20/3546/">False Robbery: Pascal & Hopkins Battle to a Draw in a Close Fight, Bizarrely Controversy&nbsp;Ensues.</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>by Andrew Harrison <a href="http://safesideoftheropes.com/">(Safe Side of the Ropes)</a></p> <p>An imaginary stick-up took place in Quebec over the weekend after a middle aged, balaclava wearing former hoodlum reported that he’d been robbed on a business trip by a local man and his gang of accomplices.

It was, considering how Hopkins usually performs, a pretty good scrap at the Pepsi Coliseum.</p> <p>After dropping Hopkins twice in the first three rounds—once with a borderline rabbit punch—Pascal spent the rest of the night filibustering. Unable to figure out what to do with a real pro, Pascal simply did nothing, and let Hopkins, who turned professional in 1988, control the pace and work out openings at his leisure. Letting a fighter like Hopkins take his time, plan, and execute is a serious tactical error. Joe Calzaghe edged Hopkins in 2008 by throwing megatons of leather and forcing Hopkins to react instead of dictate. It certainly was odd seeing a 46 year-old boxer landing lead left hooks to the body from two or three feet away on a fighter young enough to be his son. <a href="http://thecruelestsport.com/2010/12/19/aftermath-on-hopkins-pascal/" target="new">Read more...</a></p></div> http://www.theboxingbulletin.com/2010/12/19/1886482/aftermath-on-hopkins-pascal thenonpareil
