i think Dawson KO's Pascal in a rematch
Array
could be but yesterday, he never got him on the brink of K.O, even when Chad had his best moments in the 11th the k.o wasn't in sight. One thing for sure, that could dress the table for a Bute-Pascal and that, in Montreal, would be extremely huge and I am certain that this fight would interest HBO now.

it did look like Pascal was about to go down a couple of times in the 11th, Pascal was hurt the worse of the two, but for whatever reason Dawson just backed off, i don't know if it was a case of Dawson underestimating Pascal and then not doing enough to get the decision, i'm not taking anything away from Pascal, he won the fight fair and square, but IMO Dawson is still the best fighter in the division and would KO Pascal in a rematch

To be honest, I was sure Dawson would pull a wide UD but he was just not active enough. I'Ve seen the fight from very close and though Pascal was not at his best and was ringed in the 11th, he was far from the KO, I was close enough to see his face and he didn't look faded or nothing and it is perhaps the only serious moment where Chad had him in danger where Pascal solidly buckled Dawson's knees 2-3 times in the fight. I wonder if it's just that Dawson took him lightly or simply had a bad day at the office but he was quite outmatched in this one. The revenge will be quite interesting and I wouldn't be surprised neither if Dawson would pull off that one but first, let's see how affected he is mentally.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda, but hey didn't. It was really frustrating watching dawson in there, just not throwing enough and its not like he was throwing bombs when he did throw. His corner I don't think did a great job either, I mean they must have known they're down by a few rounds after the 8th or 9th, dawson needed a fire lit under his ass. I think pascal was hurt two or three times in that fight, don't think he was on the brink of a ko loss because chad probably would have let him off the hook in the 11th like he did a few times in the fight. Then again dawson looked hurt himself a few times. Not sure what the extra 7pounds would do to bute but I'd favor him in a fight against pascal who seems to fight to much in spurts and against a more active fighter would have lost last night. Unless dawson changes his game plan, significantly increases his punch output and becomes a little more willing to to take some to give some he's not winning a rematch.

Dont know about that as Dawson doesn't even look like he 'thinks' ko. Has to be in mental make up and aside from early burst in 11th from which he backed off he gives so much away,passively. That uppercut he landed before the head butt was timed and executed nicely...Pascal was literally short circuited and frozen for a second and Dawsons instinct faultered...he should have pounced as if it was part of a combination. Personally I think he has things to strengthen and they cannot be found in the gym.
