Who is going to be on for Pascal/Dawson?

[Majesty]

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.

Ok, I am just back from the fight:

I've been superbly lucky because the Bell Center wasn't full capacity, they did exchange my tickets against 2 in the best section So all in all, the crowd went quite mad and I am certain Jean Pascal did get some new fans in there. From what I'Ve seen from a close distance, Jean Pascal really did more aggression and Dawson did look quite hurt a couple of time where Pascal looked quite ok, even in the 11th when he got battered in the first minute he wasn't too shaken, at least, it didn't look bad enough to fear a "final" knock out. Big win for Pascal, I know that there is a rematch clause in the contract but I wonder if Shaw will claim it right away for Chad's next bout or if he'll try to throw it in the cooker to rebuild Chad's confidence with a tune-up fight in the meantime.

Quite a good moment to be back in Montreal and though i am not a huge Pascal fan, I was quite happy with the end result. Chad's the only one to blame, he did look timid all fight long and did let Pascal build himself a huge advance on the card, his post-fight whining was utterly pathetic and I wouldn't be surprise if he would require a fair period of time to recover mentally from the lost.

Chad Dawson didn't get exposed at all, alot of people thought it would be a close fight. Because Jean Pascal has improved as a fighter, and Jean Pascal's awkward style and speed will always be a problem.

Chad Dawson just didn't let his hands go enough, and he was outhustled. But technically he looked the better fighter, and he landed more punches and he had Jean Pascal hurt quite badly in the 11th.

I think Chad Dawson wins a rematch, and he will gain more fans. Because he will have to up the pace and fight more aggressively.

Jean Pascal is a good fighter but i think Chad Dawson is still the better fighter, and he will prove it in a rematch.

When he decided to throw Jean Pascal never countered.

[SweetPea]

Dawson's excuses were ridiculous.

"I was on my way to stopping him." No you weren't Chad. You were on your way to 2 more rounds of letting Pascal off the hook.

If Dawson fought the way he should've fought, Pascal would've been KO'd sometime between the 6th and 9th rounds.

A terrible performance by Dawson and he didn't deserve a victory

Lol. Are you now convinced that Ring Mag is right by putting Donaire over Dawson on p4p list?

[Myk_Myk]

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.

I dont like him

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
