Comments Thread For: Jean Pascal, Chad Dawson Make 30-Day Pre-Fight Weight

Hopefully Pascal comes on strong and KOs Boreson into oblivion.

Definitely. I hope Pascal's shoulder is in perfect condition and like you said, I hope he just annihilates Dawson. Dawson is not entertaining in the ring and his personality is terrible. Pascal brings an entertainment to the division that has been vacated at the elite level since Calzaghe left.

War Pacal.

I'm happy that some people are supporting Pascal, not that I dislike Dawson, I think he's awesome, but Pascal deserves some respect for his skills and personnality that is often not credited to him

I just hope to watch a great competitive fight

WARRRR pascal!!!

i was a doubter but dawson could, but why would he. make people go up.

you could turn the question around : why would the champions at 168, most of which are bigger stars than Dawson like Bute, Kessler and Ward, would give up their belt(s) to go up to unknown territory (for some of them) and fight Dawson at 175 ?

of course it's more common for fighters to go up in weight to have better challenges than to go down, but still, Dawson has to create himself a fan base, and if there aren't enough competitors for him at 175, he is the one who should make a move to another weight class

being this light, CW seems like a pretty bad idea
168 remains the best option if he can't fight Hopkins, Cloud, or someone like that

Dawson is pretty lucky to have HBO behind him when he has such a hard time selling tickets

It's to ensure they don't boil down too much in too short a time... it's been around for a while....

Also. To everyone that hasn't seen Pascal Diaconu 1 and 2, go and watch them! Amazing fights!

Dawson will Dawson rehydration be relative to the Super Middleweight div. b/c he rehydrates to 190 lbs. I've always wondered if that was with clothes and shoes on. Them size 14 shoes are probably heavy

Will this fight even be televised? If so what channel?

181 and 177, and we're still 30 days away?............

Pascal and Dawson must be staying in great shape. People don't realize that most pros after a few weeks of eating normal meals they can easily blow up 20-30 pounds overweight.

Dawson being only 2 pounds above 175 tells me he's serious about going down to 168 in his next fight, either that or he really wants to get in the ring. I remember he weighed in at 190+ 30 days before the rematch against Johnson.
