yep
his name is Jean Pascal
he is a young lion with big heart
that is all that was wrong with Dawson yesterday, because Dawson was being Dawson, the same he has always been, the same who beat Adamek, Tarver and Johnson
he just happened to bump into a man who wouldn't let him have it his way
Pascal outsmarted Dawson, outfought him, outthought him, outmuscled him.
Pascal matched Dawson speed too, tested his chin, and that chin is shaky (although Pascal has good power)
Dawson won 3 rounds in my book : 4,6 and 11. He won 4 at best. But I have 3
Pascal stunned Dawson in round 7, hurt him in rounds 8 and 9.
Meanwhile, Dawson landed a punch here and there.
Pascal's work to the body cannot be overlooked, as he landed good power shots to the body, although his punches to the head were more flashy and had instant visible impact.
As for the onslaught of the 11th round, well, Pascal was in trouble for a few seconds, but he had walked out of it when the obviously not intentional headbutt occured.
As for Pascal supposedly tiring, he wasn't that tired. He was still fighting, moving and had good steam left behind his shots. Fighting smart, it is highly likely that he would have made it to the final bell as a winner
So in the end, Pascal outbested Dawson. Period. With intelligent aggression, power, speed, will, movement
let the rematch happen, cause Pascal has beaten Dawson and shown he has nothing to fear from that man
