well i expect that to be the case, i see pascal brawling his way to a ud. much like duran did to leonard
Dawson's not gonna knock him out, IMO. He's got a good chin and I don't see ho Pascal would brawl against someone who knows how to keep it away from that. By process of elimination, I would go with the superior technician, Dawson. Chad Dawson UD.
This is a pick em for me and Dawson hasn't really cashed in since Johnson. I like Pascal and give him a very good chance.
Dawson should win very easily imo, as long as he doesn't give Pascal any opportunities to come back. It will be a clinic from start to finish. I really can't see how a guy that got beat by ****ing Froch can somehow beat a fighter that is better at every department.
Pascal was getting outboxed by Froch everytime that fight turned into a boxing match. He can't outbox Dawson and he doesn't have much of a punchers chance. And I'm not exactly a Dawson fan...
I see this fight going to the distance with Dawson winning. Dawson just need to fight tall as he has a reach advantage of 9.5 inches.
I did think a fit Pascal would win, but I was suprised an unfit Pascal did. When Pascal dominated early and then started to lose steam, I thought that was fairly predictable. I just thought Dawson would be able to take over at that point in the fight, because of Pascal's stamina issues, but he didn't. That suprised me but Pascal being the better man didn't.
i think its like pascal said, that dawson was tireing dramatically also. he wasnt able to string together successive combos and recurring attacks at any point throughout the fight imo.
