We can sit back and all blame Dawson for what he would not do, but the blame should go to Pascal. He fought a fight which kept Dawson guessing, hesitant and took him right out of his comfort zone.

The only time Dawson saw real success was when Pascal got gassed. Even then Pascal still seemed to have been more preserving energy and riding out getting stunned. He started getting back into his groove right before the headbutt.

Dawson tried attacking in the 8th round and almost got knocked down for his effort. All I am saying is it may not be about what he did wrong, but may have everything to do with what Pascal did right.
I agree, Pascal is just the better fighter.

Its the same as people keep saying Judah is a wasted talent. Hes just not that great.

Froch beat Pascal and on this evidence I reckon he takes Dawson as well.

Dawson was intimidated by Pascals speed and power. Pascal wasnt hurt in the 11th, he didnt get puched around like a rag doll like Dawson did in one of the rounds, nearly truning his back, looking very novice! Pascal was just tired, he took a nice hook after Dawsons burst and had it gone to the 12th I think Dawson shot his bolt in the 11th and would probably have been stopped He was slowing right down after that burst.

Pascal is good fun to watch. Dawson is boring and shite! Any talk of him fighting Calzaghe now sounds absolutely absurd!!!
