    It's an article at the scene...

    Also: http://www.rds.ca/boxe/chroniques/312462.html

    15-16K in attendance maybe... I doubt that Jean will take a meaningless fight until then. If he does, it better be of some significance in his training against a storming Dawson. Chad might put even more pressure on Pascal than BHop did... if Dawson lets his hands go as he demonstrated late in the first fight, Pascal could have no answer for Dawson's raw talent and accuracy. Bad Chad needs that 'Bad' back, and Steward will kick his ass in camp to make sure he does.

    Pretty excited for this one, despite Dawson's performance in the first. Jean can still take this, but he'll have to overcome that obvious shortfall in stamina in order to play his own game all night.

    :bbb

    Dawson has been inactive which is not a good thing. Also Steward at this stage is not exactly what he once was, Wladimir not withstanding. I would rather Dawson ahve acquired the services of Nazim, Roach, or even Floyd Sr tbh.

    That being said, Dawson should win a narrow one on points. However Pascal has hometown advantage, so we may end up seeing another "decision" go his way in Canada.

    Fine by me so long as the winner fights Bernard Hopkins. Might get very interesting if Chad Dawson wins this, considering the stylistic nightmare he is for Hopkins, at this stage in his career. Hopkins fans should be rooting for Pascal to win, because Bernard is getting older by the month, it's somewhat of a shame Chad wasn't offered enough step-aside money to let Hopkins get redemption.

    Never heard of the word "contract"?

    I'd rather see Hopkins-Pascal but Pascal has to face Dawson first. If I was Dawson, I wouldn't let Hopkins have a rematch before myself.

    if dawson loses to this b-level plodder again, will he go down as the biggest american hype-job of his generation?

    Steward is still one of the top Trainers in the Game - so he'll have a lot to share with Chad and he seems to have a very good relationship with his Boxers. Chad has already tried Floyd Sr and he couldn't take the way Floyd talked to and worked with him. I think Steward will have him more than ready for the fight.

    True, but considering that Dawson was champion prior, and is now using his rematch clause, it is what it is. Add in the fact that while Dawson was champion, Hopkins never demonstrated an interest to fight him...

    This fight is understandable so long as Hopkins faces the winner.

    Dawson back to restore order in the 175 lb division...get that off night rectified. Then Hopkins will go back to avoiding Dawson.
