i really disagree. In the 7,8, and 9th when Pascal hurt Dawson he didn't do a ***ing thing to follow up. Anybody with half decent finishing skills would get him out of there.

And I'm actually saying that as a compliment to the guy. When Pascal nearly knocked him out in the eight round I think it was, Dawson used his natural size, athletic ability and longer arms to tie Pascal up to buy time to get the cob webbs out of his head. But can we stop about how he's gonna move up to Heavyweight and win a belt?

If anything positive I took away from this fight was exactly that he is good at not going down and surviving. VS a big puncher not so sure how hed hold up though.

Its happened to sawson numerous times already and everytime hes passed with flying colors he knows how to gain some distance and then smother the fighter .

Adamek is a wicked puncher, and if Dawson didn't clinch a little and get on his bike he could've gotten KOd at the end of that fight. So I think some people need to give him a little credit when it comes to his intelligence on how to survive being hurt.

lol ummmmmm vs who? He wasn't badly hurt vs Adamek although Adamek definitly turned it up.

Johnson? Pascal?

Getting hurt vs Cloud, Shumenov, Diaconu, Bute (Despaigne, Sillakh future) would be a whole other story.

Yea, Chad did well to survive. I think he bluffed Pascal into thinking he recovered by standing tall and walking back towards him after the 2 clinches, and thats why Pascal stopped throwing combos incase he punched himself out.

Ehhhh... I don't think so. He made a lot of bad moves when he was hurt, such as holding his hands low and staggering around backwards like a drunk. Wrong, wrong, wrong. For real good survival skills, Mayweather against Mosley would be more apt.

Dawson needs to learn to cover the fuck up when someone's coming towards him with flurries.
