Those who thought highly of Dawson but no longer do

[Iceta Lives]

That is the thing. Pascal usually has pretty good stamina. Neither one of them were in top form tonight

Yeah, he looked better when he beat Diacanu as far as stamina goes. Which goes to show you the surgery on the shoulder affected him a great deal. But that's why Dawson not being able to beat him tonight says a lot about how overrated Dawson has been on here.

[mathed]

But you know what Kev thats his fault. I been saying he shouldve took a tune up. I dont know why he kept rescheduling while Pascal was healing from a shoulder injury he couldve took on another fighter in that time frame and then fought Pascal.

He looked slow to me night. He didnt look like an elite level fighter. I like Chad but he didnt show me any type of heart or fire. He would let up on Pascal and stare at him then at times he would get blasted by Pascal and instead of hitting him back he would posture and act like the punch was nothing.

I mean you're in Canada and you fight like you're up every round? He cant fight like that and be called an elite fighter. Freakin Jean Pascal? Im sorry Pascals a scrub. I dont think Pascal is good at all. Which makes this loss even more puzzling from Chad.

I agree...dude looked slower than i have ever seen him...I coould have done a better job than he did tonight. I'd go in there with the mentality that you have to win, beat this guy to death with every chance you get. My stamina is pretty good too..I'd bet big money that Dawson's should be better than mine as he is a pro boxer....he should have eaten Pascal alive. How can you not beat Pascal but beat Adamek??

I hope you are not the same boxing fans who cry about "0"s not meaning anything and 1 loss doesn't mean the end of your career. Dawson had a bad loss. And now he "he was never that good to begin with".


I can't wait for him to come back and beat Pascal in the rematch. I know he's gonna let his go in the rematch.

REAL DAWSON FANS STAND UP!!!!!!!!
I aint even see the fight but I was thoroughly disappointed in the result! BUT Chad Dawson is one of the finest boxers of this era and I believe He will hadle his biz next go round...
Now he has a legitimate rival and thats what he needed to be respected! for ppl to see he is human, can lose,but the get back is always sweeter.
Pascal just helped create a monster!

[Megamasterking]

I agree.

They can go **** themselves.

Bad Chad is gonna be faster, stronger and better than before after tonights loss.

Chad will get hurt in that rematch, Pascal is now more confident, it was a step up for him, Pascal can only improve after that fight. Chad excuses after the fight didn't impress much, i'm pretty sure you didn't like it either.

Agreed. I can't believe people on here thought Dawson was blown out of the water. Tonight was Dawson's bad night, every fighter's entitled to his. Pascal was mediocre and was lucky Dawson didn't take the risk of knocking him out.

[bojangles1987]

This wasn't a loss where Pascal was schooling Dawson and Chad had no answers, it really was just an off night Pascal made him pay for. I have not lost any respect for Dawson and still think very highly of him.

This is the type of loss that fighters come back from and never let happen again, and I definitely expect that with Dawson.

[frankenfrank]

To put it in perspective : it is just like when Kessler lost a TD to the dirty Andre Ward and then proved himself over the full 12 rounds by outpointing an undefeated Froch.
Same thing could be asked (and was wrongly asked by myself) about Kessler back then.

Any fan of boxing who says that has been stuck on Floyd too long!!This loss is the best thing that could have happened to Dawson,we saw what happens when he lets his hands go,next time he does it earlier to avoid anything like this!!Dawson lost to a hungrier fighter last night,now he knows what it feels like to have an empty stomach,he needed it!!

[Pugilistic™]

I'm still a big Dawson fan.

Pascal fought a tough and smart fight. He moved well, flurried and mixed in hard shots when he had to.

Dawson was coming on late and probably could of stopped Pascal but the cut occurred. I personally think Dawson could of continued especially when you consider some fighters have continued with cuts just as bad than what Dawson had yesterday (Cotto-Clottey, Jones-Calzaghe for example).

I'm not gonna complain about it though, Dawson has a rematch clause and in my opinion, he will set the record straight in a second fight.

[southpaw2884]

your right its one lost i mean if all the great fighters where done or gave up after one lost we wouldnt have any boxing
