I never judge fights on weigh ins but but Pascal has to have one of the most intimidating stare downs in the sport today! (I swear if he didn't box he'd be a serial killer with that stare...)

I don't know why but for some reason the Brits have really taken a shine to Pascal which is weird because Pascal isn't a trash talker....
Anyway:
WAR Pascal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So basically, Panda doesn't actually think he's anything at all like Roy.
actually panda does, but like panda said he doesnt have all of roy's athletic gifts
pascal has the same kind of agility, hes fast like roy but not quite as fast (but then again who >160 is?), he fights agressively and hes not that bad of a puncher
we will find out tonight, I cannot WAIT! lol
all the hate for Dawson is funny though, then if he wins all of you will comeback and say "Pascal wasn't that good" :nonono:
That's just how haters work bro, so be it he will get just shut them up tonight.

It does not matter who wins. Two fighters in their peak are entering the ring tonight for us fans. That is a rarity. Pascal will give it his all like he always does. I'll be rooting for him because I love how he fights. I like Chad also, but Pascal is as entertaining as you can get in the ring.
Most Brits like Pascal because he comes to fight and gave us an amazing title fight with Froch over here in the UK.
Also, he is a very active fighter and had two of the best (and bravest) title fights in 2009 with his wins over Diaconu.
Well said. I really like Pascal, he's entertaining and wants to fight the best, what's to hate? I'm rooting for him to pull the upset :boxing:
pascal reminds panda of roy jones except pascal fights more reckless and doesnt have all of roys atletic gifts
So basically, Panda doesn't actually think he's anything at all like Roy.
I think dawson is being massivly over rated. I remember in his first fight with johnson, he was rocking and rolling. He was very lucky to get the wi nthat night, since then he's only fought old men who are just shelves of there former self, i think pascal will surprise alot and probably beat dawson. I dont think dawson hits hard enough to keep pascal honest and eventually pascal will catch dawson and test his china chin.
WAR PASCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
try watching the fight before making statements that make u look like a retard. the fight couldve gon either way, and even if u think froch had a solid 2-3 point edge and won clearly he still didnt "own" pascal. he got just as good as he gave and pascal didnt budge any more than froch or was in any worse shape when the last bell rang.
the staredown tells u the same thing then as it does now, the only way to get pascal of u is to knock him clean out, but he will never quit. hes coming to win and is willing to walk through hell to do so. froch had the same attitude and they traded shots for 12 rounds and let the judges decide, dawson is likely to try to box and win decisively while staying out of harms way.
100% this statement. :boxing:
first of all his staredown doesn't look that intimidating at all. in fact it's very un-intimidating. second of all going by your account, he 'dominated' the staredown against Froch based on that picture yet Froch owned him

back when him and miranda were going at it panda wasnt impressed, especially when he had an off night against that journeyman (forgot his name). but he gave froch a helluva fight and has looked world class ever since
dawson over the last two years has indeed looked boring but people forget he had to rematch tarver and people were calling for him to rematch johnson due to the controversy in their first bout
may the best man win
why is it intimidating when a fighter gets so close it looks like he wants to kiss you?
never understood that. it would be irritating, maybe thats the only point?
a real scary staredown is just the look in your face.
Pascal trash talk a lot, and that's why he isn't very popular in Quebec. His attitude seems to be changing tho.
It's not that people in quebec are racist or anything, but Pascal has a strange accent, which makes him sound like a smug arrogant person to us french people. Not that he is. The fact that his personality is different from the social norm and it makes him not popular, that one sure evident thing.
