    Good on Pascal, he deserves it. What a way to go out if he chose to retire.

    He won't though, as someone looking for an easy LHW title may come sniffing around.

    What the hell did he say about owing 50k to somebody after the fight? How weird was that.

    I hope he retires but he can easily make a million fighting in Quebec. Defend the interim belt in Montreal vs eledier Alvarez and retire win lose or draw. He'd likely loss that but not get hurt

    He didn't win a title vs Dawson if that's what you're referring to. He defended his belt. Unless you count the invisible ring belt or Ibo
    He won his first belt from diaconu

    Browne was a bit unlucky with the headbutt and glass chin.

    Browne was unlucky with the fact that he sucks.

    His only win is vs jack really.

    Dawson was the champ as far as I and everyone else was concerned.

    First time I saw him was against Froch while I lived in the UK for a while.

    I was aware of Froch, and had seen him out running but never knew Pascal before.

    My respect for both those guys has grown since then, in boxing terms.

    Not unlucky at all, Browne always drops his left hand when he punches and a smart vet like Pascal started flushing him with counter right hooks. I guarantee, without the cut, Pascal ices him with another right hook within the next couple rounds anyway. Browne was already exposed vs Hot Rod Kalajdzic, in a fight he clearly lost and was on jelly legs for the last 3 rounds and got a complete gift.

    Jean is an old school warrior, who comes to scrap every time out. I had a feeling Browne might wilt mentally against a brawler like Pascal. I'm not saying I called it because I didn't, but after watching Browne get battered by Hot Rod, I figured there was a chance.

    How bad was the cut anyway.. he probably thought he was up on the cards.

    He literally has fought a who's who!

    I thought he was spent but this makes Bivol & Alvarez' recent wins over him look pretty good now

    Give me Hopkins Pascal 3 please.

    Want old man Bernard to win a title at 54.

    Fair play to Pascal, thought he'd retire after the Bosse win! Absolute warrior who's had some crackers over the years
