Well, those engines still give you around 70000lbs of thrust (each engine) with TOGA so naturally there will be definite nose-up pitch, but as I mentioned you will not have any "out of trim" state physically pushing back on your hands. I find it hard to believe that anyone could apply TOGA and maintain a constant negative pitch attitude. Easier to do on the Airbus, but would still require some kind of mental and physical force.
