Also, I would like to add Dawson is just another US hypejob that will be battered and stopped by a strong European fighter like Kessler who can actually take a shot and is willing to fight. Dawson's chin is grade A certified china and will be exposed fully once he stops fighting 40 year olds. He is a disgrace to boxing and so is the amount of money HBO pays him for boring us all to death.
Dawson is a waste of space either way.Guys like Pascal are what make boxing.Guys who can box yet slug it out even when they need not,The guy is so unpredictable in the the pace he sets.Just an absolutely phenominal athlete.Who cares about "bad" Chad Dawson,I don't.Do you?
yeah thats what i like about pascal vs diaconu he took some of the rounds by boxing but in others he foguht diaconu's fight and still came out on top.
agree with the thread starter that he has looked recently and i think he is a fighter who is made for 175. at the froch weigh in he looked very very drained and psty, it showed in the fight as well, his reflexes weren't as sharp and his handspeed was diminished. thats partly why i count pascal as a good win for froch but not as good as he makes out.
imo pascal has a really good chance vs dawson, dawson is a good fighter with nice fluid combos but he is a sucker for the right (dawson was buzzed by g.johnson with the right hand), he has stamina issues and vs tarver he didn't look all that impressive.
pascal would be a real test and imo would win the fight by late KO or maybe dawson will hang on and secure the UD, either way its a quality fight and one that will be made within the year.
Impressed with Pascal in his last few fights.
Would that include Froch?
:lol1:
Yeah I thought Pascal was a joke but I was impressed he hung in there in that one. He did showed heart.
Pascal will drag him into a brawl and beat up Dawson IMO.
Yeah its too bad Dawson is wasting his time with Johnson and Tarver for the past 2 years he should be fighting younger top contenders it would serve him better
