Did Bad Chad Play Down To Pascal?

I wouldn't say controversial but Dawson landed more punches, landed the harder punches, and was more consistent. Pascal fought in small spurts, and my card was a lot closer than the judges score cards, factor in the stoppage from the cut when Dawson was coming on and you have something to talk about.

You don't hear about it often in boxing, but it's a common term or idea in basketball. I guess mostly because they play so many games, it doesn't happen as often in boxing or say football, but in basketball it's when a good team plays a bad team and for whatever reason plays at the bad teams level. Now I'm not saying Pascal is a poor fighter, just that I had the feeling the entire night that Dawson could have easily beaten him if he'd only try, and when he finally did start trying near the end he was making Pascal look bad, he was even on the verge of a 10-8 round near the end, or a knockout. What really annoyed me is that ESPN now has Pascal ranked above Dawson. Now I'm anything but a Dawson fan but that wasn't a clear enough victory in my mind to put him ahead of Dawson, at best it's 1A and 1B. A victory is a victory,Pascal won,it wasn't controversial,so therefore he has a right & deserves to be ranked ahead of Dawson!!U said it urself that Dawson might have been able to take control of the fight,"well I thought so too",but he didn't it's his fault,that's how it is!!

Well good thing for Pascal that he didnt play down to Dawsons level that night. ;)

He probably watch Pascal fight with Froch and thought i "I could outbox this guy with Froch can"
