WOW, the guy fought with one arm from round 4. After the fight he said he dislocated his arm 5-6 times in the fight. In round 10, you can clearly see Russ Amber replacing his arm.
Jean Pascal said that he thought to stopped because it was hurting so bad, but he thought of all the fans that came and wanted to watch an exciting fight.What a great example of determination
GOOD JOB JEAN!!!!
Clinton Woods as well. Tavoris is a solid fighter, don't sleep on him and he's exciting. And lets not forget he's a belt holder too and he's been waiting for Dawson for over a year now. He deserves his shot with one of these two guys.
I'd put all my points on Cloud beating Pascal, he's too much for him.
Not sure how Cloud would do against a fighter with true hand speed. He seemed to be getting tagged whenever Woods let his hands go, and i think someone who could let their hands go, spin him and step off without being hit in return, would really frustrate him.
Pascal IMO would beat him but Cloud of course would have his opportunities because Pascal likes to trade, but he should steer clear away from Dawson. He would be out boxed and could actually be taken out, his defense is no where near Johnson's. What he does have on his side, is stamina and power and because of that, he is live against anyone.

i am a fan and respect pascal ... but theres a ton of impovment that he should be making. i think cloud would beat pascal as well ...
I totally agree, personnaly, I think the way he fights with his hands down is very bad for him. His head movement is not quick enough for that type of defense, he's getting hit too much for sure.
Also, he hits too large sometimes.
Since he moved up at 175, he didn't have any problem with his chin, but I remember clearly that he was hurt against bums at 168 (maybe due to weight drain....).
But he has all the tools to become a great boxer in Light Heavyweight, SMW division was a bit too good for him too...
Pascal needs to change trainer, he's getting hit too much now and his trainer isn't picking up on that. He's up to fight Dawson next, will be an interesting fight. Hope his shoulder stay in place when fighting chad :D
Just think. Just over a year or so ago we all thought he was an over-rated punk.
He has turned out to be one determined warrior that guy. He also gives you a bit of everything. he can box, but really likes to mix it up.
The guy has transformed into a hell of an exciting fighter. He may never be an elite P4P fighter, but his fan base will only get bigger and bigger.
Yea that was truly an incredible display of heart. And he STILL won decisively.
I even thought he won that 11th round, the round after you could clearly see his arm pop out of its socket.
Great fight
