Whats the deal with Chad Dawson?

Dawson will beat pascal in their rematch

As someone else said he had a huge cut on his face that likely took 6 weeks minimum to heal properly before he could even start sparring again.

Combine that with having an auto rematch and there is no point in his rushing into a fight where the fight could get reopened and he could lose by stoppage to an inferior fighter.

I think he needed to time off to rest not only his cut but also his mind.

It was the lack on mental focus that caused him to lose the 1st Pascal fight and Dawson knows it. It's about him doing what he needs to do and what Pascal does will be irrelevant.

The first fight was the 100% best case scenario for Pascal and he was still getting beaten from pillar to post when the fight was stopped. People say that Dirrell was in for a rough finish in the Abraham fight, Pascal was in for an even rougher ride than that had Dawson not been cut.
