This should be a quality fite. Good test for Dawson, the crowd will be all for Pascal. Pascal is underrated imo too, i think he's a beast.

Im really looking forward to this fight. It will be on HBO aswell

Pascal's hometown, I got Dawson though.

When Pascal was 4, his mother (a nurse) and older brother (Nicholson Poulard) left Haiti for a better life and education. They settled in Laval, Quebec, just outside of Montreal. His father, a well-respected politician, remained in Haiti. Pascal played hockey and football, but watching his older brother become the Quebec boxing champion in 1996—Pascal, at 13 years of age, started to visit boxing gym "Club Champions St-Michel" once or twice every week. His first trainer was Sylvain Gagnon, who considered Pascal to be very talented. Also according to an interview in May 2005, Pascal's idol was Roy Jones Jr.

Pascal does fight simular in some ways. He needs to improve his defence though, He would have beaten Diaconu easily if he didnt always keep his hands down. But I do rate him highly and think he may well pull of the upset.

Dawson is obviously the favorite though. Much more experience.

I can't wait for this fight. I'm reppin Chad all day. But Pascal is a warrior. I think Dawson reach and jab will cause Pascal problems. It was hard for Pascal to get in the inside against Froch because of his jab

Hope the winner fights Cloud if he beats Johnson. His fight is a week before this one on HBO. So that's a perfect setup

Pascal

I predict after Pavlik, Hopking (who cryed all night at is last fight),Jones JR that Dawson is also over rated and will go donw by loosing this fight.
Boxing is not only from USA anymore, There is talent all over the world today.
Dawson had the media for him, now he will have to show who's the boss in the ring.
And that wont be easy for him.

Pascal will make Chad look great.
