For those who said that usually Dawson is explosive comes with a lot of combo and blablabla... watch this fight against Epifanio Mendoza, ok, he knocks the guy at the 4th round, but look how he's cautious, he's not the type of guy who go and throw a lot of combo like plenty of people said, he throws a punch, back up and wait for his opponent to make a mistake. Pascal had the perfect gameplan, whenever Dawson threw a punch, he backed up and circled around Dawson to begin a new offense.
What do you guys think?
Something was off with Dawson his speed and footwork were not on display...we all saw it, the commentators saw it. Steward was dumbfounded and repeatedly discussed how Dawson could take control at any time....where was the jab and combinations? Odd..
Shoulder injury? He didnt admit it since he didnt want to make excuses..we will see which Dawson shows up in the rematch..
I honestly think Dawson should go back with Floyd Mayweather Sr. or Emmanuel Steward.
I think they can really utilize Dawson's full potential.

He just had an off night and will dominate Pascal in a rematch because that is the best Pascal can do.
Pascal stuck with what was working aided by Dawson not fighting with any fire until the end, but Pascal is a B level fighter.
B- at best.
That's why I was so upset with Dawson losing cause I know Dawson could have kicked his ass if he didn't fight like he was back home...
In a way, I agree. I don't want to take anything away from Pascal because he fought a good fight and he stuck to his plan but I wanted to slap Dawson and I'm not even a fan of his. It's like look man. You are in this guy's backyard, you're behind on the cards yet you still are only concerned about defense. That was frustrating. Then when he finally started doing something, the fight had to be stopped because of the accidental headbutt. Dawson has nobody to blame but himself.
He tried mounting an offense in the 8th round and almost got deposited on his ass for the effort. There was a reason he was hesitant about mounting a big offense.
Oh c'mon. Pascal wasn't even that impressive. He deserved the win, but Dawson lost the fight more than Pascal won it.
Dawson just sucked ass and gave the fight away.
He landed those like 3 times in the entire fight. I think everyone would agree that if he fought like he did near the end (when he landed those punches) - from the beginning...he probably would have won.
Yeah I agree.
Dawson lost the fight more than Pascal won it..
Dawson fought like a little *****.
But in the rematch he's gonna come back faster, better and stronger than ever before.
And I don't know what fight Burner was watching, but I don't get how he saw NO counter punching ability at all...

So I guess the check hooks, and the counter uppercut that stunned Pascal isn't counter punching ability huh?

Being cautious is one thing.
Lacking fire, passion and aggression while being down on the cards with the Ring title on the line is something else.
He also showed no speed and no counter punching ability.

ironically I just watched this video an hour ago, Chad looks much more agressive and willing to engage in this video.
He's also not fighting an opponent the caliber of pascal.
Floyd looked much more aggressive and willing to engage in his early fights too.
The level and style of your opposition makes all teh difference.

Did you not see Dawson actually fighting back in this video? Your must be blind or biased by your location. That wasnt Dawson in that fight with Pascal but Pascal gets credit from me for the win but Dawson wasnt throwing like he used to. And yes Dawson will win the rematch.
yeah.. against a lesser opponent.. The fact is in all his fights his mannerisms are exactly the same.. difference is his opponnet. A guy who constantly moves and doesn't let you get set to look pretty, then lunges in with powerful punches in flurries only to start moving again...all wrong for chad.

Actually, he tried several check hooks when Pascal came in to no avail and his speed was the same as any other fight homie.

Dawson will lose the rematch, he got beat by a better man, watch the fight again, Pascal was in control.

I see the same Dawson that fought Pascal though Pascal wasn't standing and waiting for getting punched in the face, he moved when Dawson threw a jab, that's why he was so effective.
right, except what im askin you is if you are not seeing the flurries in every round?

wait, are you saying you arent seeing the trademark flurry in every round?
