Despite this year being subject to the anti-climax that was Floyd's holiday.
Has anyone actually realised that two of the most avoided fighters in our sport have lost in shocking and slightly embarrassing circumstances?!
Paul Williams
Chad Dawson
My question is:
Are their losses a testament to the following options:
Better matchmaking and more openess from promoters?
OR
Fighters being built up by the media when they were never that good in the first place?
Now don't get me wrong, I personally am a Dawson fan. I feel like the Pascal fight was attributed to him having an off night with all his personal problems. It's hard to focus in that situation, and especially when your style involves so much concentration and timing. If it had gone the full distance, I believe we'd of seen a Bute v Andrade I type affair, with Pascal beginning to cling on. Chad was really timing him and he was starting to run out of gas.
Nevertheless, props to Pascal.
With Regards to Williams. I don't know what to say... Still in shock a little.
Anyway, opinions.
