Did Froch really beat Pascal? i watched it live on television, but my bro was here and i did not get to watch it as closely as i would of liked, how did you have it, anyone have Pascal winning?
Froch did beat him convincingly and even on neutral ground he would have won, maybe via SD.
What's most important is Pascal said Froch won but this is not surprising since Pascal is a throwback fighter to the old days where pride and honour meant something in the ring. And this is why the UK has 'adopted' him.
Pascal = good for boxing
one thing i do bet. is that froch wont be winning the second time around
and im NOT being biased
I love Pascal. I even had a picture taken of me and him before the Froch-Dirrell fight, and I asked him when was he going to knock Dawson out. This was before a fight with Dawson was on the cards. He just laughed.
Pascal is a great boxer, but definitively stating 'he will' beat Froch, when he lost by a wide margin last time out is not a smart conclusion.
Dawson is better than Froch though, a lot better. Dawson is also much better than klessler. Styles make fights man, and I think Dawson qwould make mince meat out of Froch over 12. He comes in in straight lines and can be hit very easily too.
Dawson is a much better boxer. But to be a top boxer you can't just box, you need to fight. Dawson doesn't have a warrior mentality. I'm not going to debate who would win out of Froch or Dawson, because the fight isn't even on the radar. All I am going to say is, Froch has made slickish boxers look bad before. And I don't even think Dawson is as good as Taylor, Dirrell, or Pascal.
Na,but thanks for trying to put words into my mouth
Id favour pascal to beat him in a rematch at 175,sorry
Yer, and thanks for telling us why?
You don't like Froch. It's ok.
You don't like Froch, so you'd back anyone to beat him.

If you think Dirrell won big, and Kessler won comfortably that's your call. For me both were close fights. And Taylor would have beaten Froch IF he lasted those last 17 seconds but he didn't and he got his head bashed in. But Froch was only two, maybe three rounds behind Taylor going into the final round. Froch was winning the second half of the fight.
My point is, Froch is an underrated fighter. Not a boxer...fighter. He proved that against Pascal who he beat pretty comfortably in the end. One weight division doesn't change a fighter. Pascal still fights pretty recklessly at times and doesn't have a great defence. He still gasses early on in fights. Pascal is the same boxer as he was when he fought Froch. He has had good wins since, but Diacanu and Dawson aren't Carl Froch.
In my opinion, the question is not can Froch beat Pascal again, but how can Pascal beat Froch for the first time?

Direll won big if you ask me, and Kessler won comfortably. You have to realize Froch did nto win a round against Taylor until the mid rounds, and was behind BIG at the time of the stoppage, all he needed to do was coast in the 12 and possibly take aknee but no.

Yeah, Froch is too slow, and Pascal knows that he is much faster, and will use his legs now.
Ye Pascal seems like hes a better fighter at 175 and froch hasnt really looked that good since their first fight
Froch won clearly.Id fancy pascal to beat him in a rematch at 175 though

When you fight Froch, you have to stand toe to toe, and duke it out. Pascal was forced to fight Froch's game and came out second best.
Froch is an underrated fighter. The Taylor fight was closer than a lot of people give him credit for. Plus he knocked him out. He had another close fight with Dirrell. And another close fight against Kessler. Froch is a world class fighter, and would probably come out on top against Pascal in a rematch.
Nobody has an easy time with Froch. Especially in the second half of the fight.
