Who is going to be on for Pascal/Dawson?

[Myk_Myk]

Dawson doesn't have a killer instinct, and that hurt him too.

The thing is, Pascal also apparently has a great chin, Dawson was making the mistake Hopkins did against Taylor, like he was gonna stop him late, but when the opportunity was there he stopped and looked. But if Pascal even seemingly hurt Dawson, he jumped on him regardless or not, that's the difference. If Dawson was like Pascal that everytime he seemed to hurt him jumped on him, he may have won this fight, but this is the difference between these two fighters. Pascal fought regardless of what happened and was always on Dawson whether hurt or not, and Dawson whenever he hurt Pascal just stood and watched.

Merchant "You ARE making excuses."

I usually don't like when fighters say "I take nothing away from him, or make any excuses.. BUT.."

Dawson has himself to blame for not stepping it up. Pascal has shown he has a heart of a champion fighting with one arm or even staying in there when he was hurt and trying to trade.

That was the factor, any other fighter would have probably been knocked out by Dawson tonight. But Dawson had to know he had a different kind of fighter in front of him and should have pressed it like he did. He didn't and he lost, end of story.

Hello hyperbole-man Dawson's knocked out exactly zero elite-ish fighters.

But yes Chad has himself to blame.

All I can say is HELL YES !

Nobody else picked Pascal but me, least not that I saw.

I said he would be faster and had great heart and he showed both and won the damn fight tonight.

Great performance by Pascal.

Too bad about the cut tho.

Actually I thought Pascal would win today as well although I didn't post anything. I've recently been thinking that Floyd Mayweather is the only truly great athlete in any combat sport and we've seen in boxing and MMA in recent weeks the great Fedor, Anderson Silva, Devon Alexander and now Chad Dawson exposed to a degree. Every time a supposed p4p top fighter loses my admiration for pretty boy Floyd grows, hereally is the best p4p fighter in any sport today, by a mile imo.

It did look like Dawson just followed Pascal around the ring and lost just because he didn't let his hands go, but maybe we're not giving Pascal enough credit. His speed, pop and reflexes were really bothering Dawson early.

Who?


Good win for Pascal, thoroughly deserved, Chad whining like a bitch post fight glad he lost.

Pascal has done himself proud since losing to Carl Froch. He's now beaten Dioconu twice when he wasn't supposed to and has nowupset Chad Dawson.

I would LOVE to see him upset Lucian Bute too

what just happened?


what is wrong with dawson, if he would have tried just a little that would have been an easy rd 2 KO...



at least now with pascal and bute fighting each other at least one of therm will be out of the picture soon



also dawsons corner allowed him to think he was winning that fight, he didnt even try to press the action when he had an EASY stoppage standing before him
