    Just watched the little scuffle and stare down between Jean and Nard. I was watching Jean as they posed for their Stare down pic and notice a little nervous energy? Anyone else notice that? Not that it means Jean isn't gonna win...he could, but I do think its intersting given this is Jeans biggest fight against his most decorated and experienced foe.

    Pascal is normally good at staredowns. But in this one, B-Hop got to him far too easily. Watching him just pick up the belt like it was his and not care what anyone else said or done, seem to have bothered him.

    Yeah, and Froch looked nervous too against Abrahams. Stare downs usually mean nothing.
     
  4. pascals scared you could see it in the staredown he kept blinking and looking down he knows that belt wont be next to him when he wakes up sunday morning

    Yup!:yep Jean was taken out of his game mentally by Nard snatching his belt and not giving it back....in fact....Jean never got it back from nard which is a small mental win in my opinion.

    Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't......I'm really not sure how this fight is gonna go. I'm kind of rooting for Nard....the old dog seems to still have a vicious bite. But logic tells me jean will beat him with youth and speed. I'm really looking forward to this one.

    Staredowns can be uncomfortable sometimes, hardly a sign of actual fear. Let see in the ring how much he fears Nard, probably he won't.

    This is Jean Pascal staredown at the press-conf vs Dawson. Same thing happened and you know the result of the fight. (look toward the end of the vid)

    I think he's just uncomfortable with the thought of beating up an old man. :bart

    I think staredowns are overrated a bit, look at pacquiao for example always laughing cant barely look someone mean in the eye, but in the ring he destroys them.

    Pac's staredowns before the opening bell are good though. ;)

    Staredowns means **** all. If Hopkins beats Pascal its because he's better and not because Pascal blinks.
