    Dawson's performance, brings to mind Dirrell's against Carl Froch

    He just didn't do enough.

    Performance was lazy.

    When he had the opportunity to throw punches, he just didn't.

    He wasn't exposed like people have been saying on this forum, he just didn't do enough to take the win and only realised late. I see him coming back stronger.

    PS Get Mayweather Snr back in his corner, that guy made him throw punches - check the Adamek fight.

      Dawson's got the attributes, just not enough heart.

          He wasn't exposed, he was just beaten. I thought that Pascals style and power would cause him problems, but I thought Dawson would get his rhythm going... but he never did. He never really threw with much intent (Until the 11th), and just let Pascal circle him and throw flurries of power shots. It was a good fight though, and I hope they do have a rematch...

            Dirrell is one of my favourite and won the Froch fight but it wasn't a convincing performance so they gave it to Nottingham's Froch, Robin hood style, rob from the talented and give to the popular.

            But Froch also didn't get a fair score in the Kessler fight, the only person that ain't getting robbed is the Hometown bandit Ward.

              The problem is american fighters are overhyped,overrated.

              I mean,they(the american boxing lobby) sell you US fighters,like Devon,Dawson as boxing gods,but they are nothing special.
              They are fast,slick,black,cool!But it ain't enough.

              1.Dawson was supposed to be the real deal.
              2.He get beat by Pascal and Johnson in my book.

              SO YES,HE HAS BEEN EXPOSED FOR WHAT IT IS,OR ISN'T.

              I'm not hating,I'm being fair.

              No respect for Kotelnik,Pirog and Pascal before the fights...they were supposed to be walk in the park....

                How is losing a fight getting exposed. Jacobs got exposed ye, but the other two? It's not like they got the **** kicked out of them. Alexander easily one the first 4 rds, and Dawson was on his way to stopping Pascal.

                Explain how that is exposed?

                According to you JMM was exposed against Mayweather and Pac. Chambers was brutally exposed against the Klit master, and Marg exposed Cotto as a quitter....... Just trying to be fair.............

                  I thought heart was the main attribute.....
                  Honnestly Dawson has hearth in my opinion.


                  I think Dawson lacks power,will and strenght.

                    Will - that's the one.
