    Does Dawson still have a glass chin?

    after the pascal fight, now do you still think he has a glass chin?
    i think it's pretty solid, he took alot of flush bombs and it either had no affect or he recovered fairly fast

    and on another note(im rewatching the fight):
    lol, chad came out furiously in rd 11

    No. Chad has a very good chin, that was shown on Saturday night. He showed that he can takes punches, go to war at times.

      He recovers well I think he deals with being hurt quite easily now after being hurt so often in his fights he knows what to do to stay in there and not go down. I like when he was rocked and pretended he was fine walking forward with his hands down and Pascal bought it and backed off.

          are you people serious? Pascal has never KO'd anyone who wasn't a club fighter and Dawson was legit hurt in rounds 7,8,9 that i remember. Cloud, Uzelkov, Shumenov, Diaconu, Sillakh, Despaigne all would be able to hurt him much much worse.

          The only top fighter at 175 who wouldn't be able to potentially KO him is Campillo, but i think Campillo and his boxing would be a handfull for Dawson too.

              not sure i get your question?

              obviously he never KO either of them. My point was all the other top LHW's i mentioned hit harder than Pascal and while Dawson's chin isn't outright glass it sure as hell isn't good.

                  Sometimes it takes speed to land on the target...

                  Those fighters don't have Pascal's speed. And would have to crowd Dawson to land that punch, but see as how he's not trying to let a repeat of Johnson I happen, that'll be a hard task. They'd have to walk through what Dawson has to offer to be able to do that to get to his chin.

                  I don't think his chin is very good either, it's good though, but his recuperative power won't allow him to be hurt for long or stopped. IMO he might need to move up to see him with a better chin, it'll more than likely have the Cotto/Khan effect on him. Last night he only rehydrated 11-12 pounds, but before that, he's been up to 16, which is a lot and tells me 175 isn't the easiest for him to make.

                    Pascal isn't exactly a murderous puncher and he hurt Dawson a fair few times. Dawsons chin ain't great, in fact it's leaning towards the poorer end of the scale, but he seems to have good recovery powers.
