just re-watched pascal dawson and ..

[#1Assassin]

good and insightfull påost mate.

but still, in the splitsecond, that pascal was an inch away from being knocked out, how the hell could dawson go through a thought process, that would say "hey chad, pascal is seriously rocked,but **** it, ill just do nothing and let him of the hook, because i have some problems"

i´ve seen fighters looking at the ref, urging them to stop the fight out of respect for the other fighters health, but his one, i have never seen before.

has there been any su****ion, about matchfixing.?

i never heard any su****ion of the fight being fixed and i dont think it was myself. there could be lots of reasons why he didnt go after it. he was tired, maybe he had been hurt by pascal earlier and didnt wanna risk getting caught, maybe he felt he was wearing pascal down and just decided to be patient. pascal was very tired and getting hurt more by every punch dawson landed, by rushing in dawson might give pascal the chance to land a bomb and turn the momentum.

personally i think it was a combination of everything, most importantly dawson is a safety first fighter. watch his other fights (especially early ones) and u will see he very rarely goes after guys, its been the main critisism his whole career.

chaD Dawson is just not in the right sport. His lack of killer instinct is becoming more and more evident over time. He waits waaaaaay too long in between fights. He has made bad business decisions, his promoter suck. He can't sell out a holiday inn conference room in Connecticut, and he goes into his fights thinking all he has to do is box a bit, throw a couple counters and he's gonna coast to an easy handraising.

My favorite thing about rewatching that fight is dawson's postfight interview.

By the way, bhop could fight Chad or not, but he's smart enough to know there's no money in it and it would be terribly boring. All the other guys bhop was trying to fight would bring it. He needs that in opponent. Chad johnsons brings 0.

I think he's just bitter that stardom has eluded him, and that causes him to give even less enjoyable performances. That second Tarver fight was bad. 175 is not very deep, but Chad still hasn't faced a lot of the names floating around the top ten. Diaconu, Shumenov, Erdei, and Cloud would all be interesting fights.

Chad only fought once in 2010 and it was a loss, his post fight interview was embarrassing. Hopefully he's done some reflecting and is looking to come back and make a statement.

Shouldnt be ****ing with James Prince though, doesnt he remember what happened to Floyd??

all the reasoning about him, being a safety first fighter is one thing, but pascal was really really wobbly, there is a difference in being cautious and just standing there doing nothing.

In the first part of the fight, he was quite frustrated by pascal, but to me, he seemed to pick it up and better pascal in the later rounds.

watch it from around 2.39 and then look at pascal, arms along his sides, doesnt cover up and ready to get ktfo.. im really lost for words, when it came to dawsons reaction in that particular situation, and no amount of being safety first,cautious or even afraid, really explains his reaction and thats why i asked, if there had been any rumours/allegations regarding matchfixing
