Comments Thread For: Dawson-Pascal Being Targeted For June 19 on HBO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com has been advised that IBO/WBC-interim light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson is going to return on June 19. HBO will televise the fight. The opponent and venue is unknown but Dawson's camp would like to get the full WBC champion Jean Pascal in the ring, and Pascal wants the fight as well. If they finalize a deal for Pascal, it would make the most financial sense to hold the fight in Canada.

Dawson grew some balls.....bout time.

This is one to look forward to!

It will be interesting to see how Chad Dawson does against a world-class opponent his own age.

I think Dawson will probably win a decision. But you never know, Pascal is heavy-handed and Chad doesn't have a great chin.

What is wrong with some people? Do you not understand money and how money talks. "Dawson finally grew some ball"? First off, this is the first time Pascal has been worth anything to Dawson. Pascal lost to Froch and finally has strung some wins together and snatched up a belt that they can now unify. Now the fight makes sense. Secondly, Tarver and Johnson gave Chad big paydays, why the hell would he walk away from that to go fight a no namer? Some of you are haters or just are dumb as ****.

IMO I wouldn't classify Jean as "heavy handed".. He has the kind of speed that catches opponents off guard, and stuns them. But sometimes he doesn't turn his punches over, so they are far from heavy.

Either way, this is GREAT NEWS. One of the only fights at the light-heavyweight wasteland that is even worth seeing. And I have a feeling that Pascal will make Dawson fight even more that Johnson did in their first fight.

No complaints here. I love this fight.

Two prime guys settling their business.

Probably a little of both.

Good post.
