They also have Lucian Bute who I personally consider much better than Pascal.

Yes.

Canada has tons of support in the boxing world.

one of the few scribes who thinks pascal may http://www.fightwriter.com/chad-dawson-vs-jean-pascal
dawson may have gotten use to fighting geriatric patients.

i hope having hometown crowd behind him don't make pascal start showboating and fighting dumb.
and pascal can take multiple blows to jaw and keep his head.

Good fight

I'm not sure who will win, though like everyone else I make Dawson the favorite in the match up. Bigger guy with better skills, you know. To be honest I haven't really seen much of Pascal, though. He can be open, and he puts his hands too low which won't really work with a fast boxer like Dawson who may not have one punch stopping power but has enough pop to daze you. Based on what I've seen, though, I wouldn't count out Pascal. If he can unsettle Bad Chad like Johnson did in the first fight, he'll have a good chance of springing an upset.

Fugg it, I'll go with the underdog. Pascal by SD

I like this prediction

My pick has been Chad by UD from the start with a good possibility that Pascal scores the upset (and not because of the crowd or the judges, but because of what happens in the ring)

Dawson's defense may be a bit overrated, he does get hit here and there, but it doesn't show a lot

I also like the fact that Rold believes someone will get hurt, and the man hurting the other will have an edge from that point on
when visualizing the fight, I too thought someone has to be stunned at some point, both are fast, both can hurt each other

Dawson also fights in bursts sometimes, Pascal can catch him when he's trying a 4-5 punches combination

as for Pascal being an animal, wild, open and reckless, well, there is truth in that, but he can also box, use movement, pick his shots

he showed his versatility when he fought Diaconu

anyway I hope to watch a great fight with Pascal the winner , that would be huge

If Dawson works behind a jab like he says he plans on, to quote what he said to Pascal during the final presser:

"It's going to be a long night, buddy. A long night."

IDK Cliff, I just can't see Pascal winning this other than badly hurting Chad taking him out or a hometown decision.

As you stated he was outboxed, by Carl Froch..............

I agree.....I can't really believe the people on this post and the writer. I really think this is going to be a beat down. Why does people get excited over a guy that just throws......History tells us that the boxer will win. Outboxed by Froch......WOW...Froch can't even box that good.

Pascal does have the ghost of Froch floating over himself

but Dawson has Glen's ghost, cause no matter how Chad easily redeemed himself in the rematch, Glen still gave him all he could handle once, and a bit more...

Pascal is faster, moves better, throws shorter punches and is more powerful than Glen

this is hard to predict what will happen, this is the kind of fight in which anything an happen

I think Chad's reach and height will be a deciding factor

Chad Dawson-Decision...117-111, 118-110 range

He emulates Roy Jones.

Anyhow, I have Dawson by UD. Pascal is good, but he isn't Bad Chad good. I would however give Pascal the nod over Cloud, a fight I hope to see happen if Pascal loses this bout.
