    Ok,
    This content is protected


    I hope this fight gets made. It could be one heck of a scrap.

    I have to think about it more, who I would go with. Great speed in this one, especially for LHW's.

    :bbb:bbb

    I really think that Dawson would make Pascal look like an amateur again... would rather see Bute-Pascal in 12 months tops !!

    Dawson UD pretty wide.

    Pascal still makes many mistakes.

    He does, but his heart is gigantic. Much larger than Chad's.

    Maybe,maybe not.

    Maybe Dawson hasn't had the situation to show his heart yet altough I thought he showed some against Johnson.

    Not to take away from Pascal's performance, because it was a very good one, but Diaconu is a immobile piece of meat: slow, plodding, short, unskilled. Dawson is a completely different fighter and would likely overwhelm Pascal.

    catasyou, ocelot -- Good points. Thanks. :thumbsup

    Dawson did show heart vs Johnson. Have to give him credit for that.

    I'll pick Pascal by UD. I feel that Dawson has faced limited and past their prime fighters up to this point and he's got less power than Pascal. I see a really fast paced fight with Dawson going on the defensive and Pascal both outworking Dawson and beating him to the punch. I don't think Chad's ever looked as good as Pascal did today.

    Yea Dawson is too much for Pascal at this point and im a big Pascal fan. Dawson showed heart against Johnson and hes a good fighter.

    Btw man i like the fact that despite being a Diaconu fan youre not making excuses and are very realistic with your analyst.

    Pascal vs. Cloud! This is an interesting match up. Provided Cloud hasn't gone rusty, I pick Cloud by KO. I'll also pick Cloud to beat Dawson by KO. Will this fight ever happen though???

    I think it would be a great fight. Both guys work off of combinations. Pascal has blazing hand speed with his combination punches. Dawson is a bit more polished and more careful with his punch selection but he has weaknesses too.

    But i still think Dawson wins either UD or KO. More tested. More polished. But with Pascal's wild style and Dawson's questionable chin, you never know. That's why it would be a great fight.

    Great fight, but i be honest Pascal can make any fighter exciting. Anyhow - Dawson by Ud. Pascal is a good, slick fighter but he still has a lot to learn.
