Dawson-Pascal signed!!!

[βetamax]

feel most here are sleeping on pascal. since stepping up in weight he's been a terror.
chad you are going to have major problems here. no old man here.

I haven't seen the fight but he did lose a decision to Froch. Assuming he wasn't robbed and didn't have a broken arm in the fight, that's not very impressive considering Taylor and Dirrell probably won 75% of the rounds between them.

I do however remember seeing him struggle with a journeyman on Friday Night Fights.

Let's just wait and see. I think most can acknowledge that it's better to have this fight than not have this fight. Both are title holders and top fighters in the division.

A lot of people were calling Dawson to fight Diaconu, Pascal beat Diaconu twice.

The mistake he made against Froch was to basically stand toe to toe with him. I thought he was winning the fight but couldn't quite keep it up towards the end and lost a close decision.

Obviously that speaks of his overall quality, but on the positive side, there aren't too many boxers that could go punch for punch with Froch like that. I think Pascal's best chance here is to turn it into a war. He's not outboxing Dawson, but if he forces Dawson to fight in the trenches then the experience he gained from fighting Froch and Diaconu should serve him well.

I don't expect him to be able to do that though. If Glen Johnson couldn't manage to break Dawson's rhythm, cut off the ring effectively or land too much of significance then I don't think Pascal can. Still, I think it'll be an entertaining fight as Pascal will give it his all and make Dawson work for it.

When Dawson UD's Pascal will everyone stfu and accept Chad is the man in the division? Everyone complains that he took the old guys on(even though thats where the money is), but now he is fighting arguably the second best guy at that weight. No more excuses or hate on Chad. Last guy he could possibly fight is BHOP and we know HOP would rather retire than fight Chad.

[check hook]

yeahhhhhh........good stuff.

I got Dawson in a UD.

thsi is the problem with boxing, one or two bad fights and ppl dismiss a young fighter whos still learning.

against froch pascal got dragged into a war instead of being smart and use his boxing skills, by the looks of his last couple of fights he learned his lesson. and i acctually thought he beat froch aswell, and hes a had a couple of good performances since too.

this is a greatmatchup, im really looking forward to it.

[musiol]

the judges certainly didnt he was a mile behind on the cards

Good ****. This is the fight I've been waiting for.

I think it's happening in Canada and if it does it's going to be a great event not just fight.
