I wouldn’t say he has a glass jaw. He got hit with some solid shots. To his credit he got right up. He needs tighter defense.
Browne has a glass jaw.

His temperament reminds me way too much of Chad Dawson. You can see the talent and skill but the intangibles are lacking. He doesn't seem to have the "dog" in him or the mental toughness needed to be elite, just better than a decent amount of his peers.Comment

I've heard interviews where Hopkins, Froch and Bivol say that Pascal is a big puncher. Don't be fooled by the lack of recent knockouts. Pascal has only been fighting the elite for a while now and that's why the knockouts have dried up. When he connects, he rocks you. But as he's gotten older, he's slowed down a little, and with ambush fighters like him, slowing down takes away his advantage.Comment

Everytime he steps up?I actually think he could be the best at 175, he's very difficult to handle at his best.
He just slacks too hard against lesser opposition. Every time he steps up he rises way above the occasion though.
Shutting out Jack arguably 12-0 after he and Gvozdyk both went life and death with Stevenson was very very impressive.
He can neutralize any fighter in the division with that level of focus and that good of an on-night.
Pascal is probably the 2nd best opponent he has ever faced and he got put on his ass 3 times.
Jack always starts slow and basically also lost the first 6 rounds to Stevenson like he did Vs Browne. Only difference is that his head was split open Vs Browne so we don't really know how well Jack could have done in the later rounds. He could have certainly knocked Browne down without injuries.
And all of the champs hit way too hard for Browne to deal with. Nvm that they are also better and smarter fighters than Pascal. They would tap that chinComment

That second KD was a perfectly timed counter that Pascal put everything into. While Browne doesn’t have a great chin, that punch would have dropped most.
He needs to stay down for the full 8 though: he hopped up and did the Zab Judah dance right into the ropes. He’s lucky the ref gave him extra time.Comment

Good comparison. After this fight I immediately thought about when Pascal beat Dawson.Comment
