Am I the only one thinks that Pascal is not very good?

Take nothing away from him. He won this fight on my card way before the cut.

But he doesnt impress me at all. Dawson should be ashamed to lose this guy.

Dawson needs some more work. Dawson cant punch unless his feet are set. Well if Dawson knows that his man is darting in and out on him atleast lead with the jab. Dont just stalk and stare.

Terrible fight plan from Dawson.

Beautiful instructions from his trainer. Dawson didnt listen.

Pascal took it to him. Gassed out and still won rounds. What a pathetic showing.

Now watch how EASILY Bute disposes of Pascal. A guy with Dawson skill set shou;ld be ashamed. Way not to show up Chad.

I agree with everything you say, except I had Dawson winning 6-5. I felt it was a close fight which could have gone either way. Many of the rounds were close and difficult to score, since Pascal did nothing for the first 2 minutes of many rounds, only to come on strong in the rest of the round.

Dawson definitely needs some work, but I really doubt he will ever be a great fighter. Some fighters have ring intelligence and some just don't. I don't think he can be taught to become a good game planner and to make adjustments mid-fight. If he couldn't adjust to Pascal's simple and rather amateurish "charge in an flurry with arm punches" style, how the hell could he ever outsmart a truly slick fighter? He's still one of the best LHWs in the world, I just think his lack of heart and intelligence will hold him back from being a great fighter.

Pascal can get better, his cardio needs work.

He never came across as an elite boxer, hes just a hungry, action man of a fighter. He can box better then he does, he just likes to brawl and make it a fight.

Speed
Power
Athleticism
Heart and Determination
Chin

He has star potential, hes only 27.

He just beat the #1 guy at the LHW division. beat the Undefeated Champion. in convincing fashion. What more you want him to do? Jump up and down between rounds?

Pascall is pretty decent, i think he beats Bute, Bute is a tall gangly fighter, Pascal will be too physically strong for twig man

He sucks, his stamina is god-damn awful. That is why I'm really mad at Dawson for losing to someone who seems like they have asthma.

**Iceta Lives** · 08-15-2010, 12:27 AM

I don't think he's really good either. I think Cloud and all the guys in the super six would beat him.

Pascal gets to take a fight before fighting Chad again, hopefully Pascal fights Bute so he can lose his belts to Bute. Oh yeah, Dawson would destroy Pascal in a rematch. I don't know what the **** was wrong with him tonight, but this performance was **** against a fighter who is not that good. Pascal has **** for stamina, and throws flurries then runs around the ring like a little school girl.

I'm a Pascal fan but yeah he's not that good. His trainer didn't give him good instructions for ****. Dawsons trainer didn't start tell him to go hard after pascal till it was to late. Also like Emanuel was saying he kept dropping his head and wasnt able to punch, his trainer never once told him about it...Dawson really pissed me off because he literally had him out on his feet in the 11th rd but didnt attack for ****. Pascal stood there with both hands down and stunned staring at the ground...Pascal is exciting but won't last very long as the number 1 guy

Oh shut up Dawson can't deal with fighters who give him angles and have faster foot spped, and equal hand soeed to him. He fought two slow ass geezers three times ina row, and looked like a deer in the headlights fighting someone who could match and pass his speed, he also has very little adaptability, and plods when you crcle him.

Am I the only one thinks that Pascal is not very good?
