Nah, load of bollocks. Dawson is rematching Pascal next year http://www.badlefthook.com/2012/11/...-pascal-rematch-march-23-2013-hbo-boxing-news
It's a reference to the 2nd McKenzie fight. He claimed he put on a "Masterclass" when he did in fact stink the place out.
It's clever. He's been getting the stoppages so it's more than fair to believe in him and his power and that gets people watching. But at the same time he's refining his skills and becoming a well rounded fighter. He's being managed excellently as he builds himself up and his profile is improving. I don't think people are switching off; in fact, his popularity seems to have risen a lot since the Cleverly fight.
It's clever in boxing times we both know that, the more casual fans will be bored of his war talk that's what i mean. He won't be bothered cos he's winning and doing it well but even i get a bit bored of it now. I wanna see a front foot display tonight mind you, no excuses to box on backfoot..
That's how it was back in day mate, Lights all over, big entrances. I think Eddie has grown up on that and knows like you say it changes atmosphere.
