I don't think he will from the very begging, nor do I think he should. But I do think/hope he's more aggressive overall.
What if Diaconu, against all odds, beats Dawson... Can you just imagine Gary's grin if Diaconu ever knocks Dawson out with a huge left hook ? That would certainly be the end of the Dawson hype train...
i really like dawson but man he shoulda beat pascal no killer instict. remember when dawson buckled pascal kness wit that uppercut in the 11th or 12th!!! pascal was really wobbly and dawson just standing there all non schalone i mean come on ur fighting a dude in his home town n ur acting like u dont gotta knock him out.. but u no wut i actually think dawson would of knocked him out if it wasnt for that cut
I was yelling at the TV like ****ing attack!! His corner is telling him he's not winning the judges ain't gonna give him **** and still he's acting like could care less.
Dawson's people are worried about him getting robbed in Montreal and they should be (see Hop-Pascal fight).
Dawson had to take this fight - it's a great opportunity to get a win over a beatable opponent and create some momentum going into a fight with Pascal/Hopkins. I can understand that his team might not like the idea of fighting in Diaconu's back yard but you have to take the occasional risk in your career. If Dawson can't go to Canada and beat Diaconu then I don't know where his career goes.
