One would almost have to say; "Chad Dawson is dumb as a box of rocks." His passivity was a well known weakness, but it was ridiculous in this fight. You can't stand around like you're waiting for a God Damned bus when your opponent is a speedy swarmer. I hope Dawson learns from his loss, and improves. I think he will, but only time will tell.
Dawson is a great athlete and could have been Professional in many sport but is biggest problem in boxing it's he seems to be lacking heart or desire!
His second win against Johnson shows that his team is able to give him a better fight plan when they know the opponent. But Dawson himself seems not to be a very intelligent guy. That's a big weakness in boxing, especially if you're not a beast. I think that he will be well prepared. The question is: can Pascal surprise him again with another style?
Dawson takes the rematch with Pascal TKO8. There is nothing else that Pascal can do differently in a rematch. There is plenty more Dawson can do in a rematch...and will. Sh!t,Pascal might not get passed Hopkins. Enjoy holding those belts Jean,while you have them.
It was pretty amazing watching Pascal outbox Dawson. I dont know guys i dont think Dawson has it in him. He reminded me of Ortiz. Once the going got tough he just didnt step up. He froze and let Pascal take his rounds. Had he been hit as hard as Ortiz was getting hit i think he woulda quit.
