I heard a bit ago that Chad Dawson would be fighting Jean Pascal in August 2010 but not heard much more about it. I checked Boxrec and Wikipedia (neither are really reliable sources) and they both got it confirmed for August 14th. I would like to see this fight happen. Since Pascal is ranked 3rd in Ring ratings and Dawson is 1st then it should be for The Ring Light Heavyweight Title aswell as Pascal's WBC Title and Dawson's IBO Title. I've not heard much from or about Dawson and find that unusual as he normally fights twice a year but I know he fought late last year which could be why he hasn't fought this year yet.
Why wouldn't it still be on? There was a special 30 day, pre-fight weigh-in not but a few days ago. Dawson scaled at something like 177 and Pascal was in the 180's. Excuse me for being somewhat paranoid but I'm not sure why this question is being asked?
Boxrec is always dodgy. The fight is definitely confirmed, and HBO has been running promos for it.
It's on.
That's awesome. I don't want to be looking forward to a fight that isn't going to happen because Wikipedia and Boxrec can be dodgy with accurate information.
