I just dont know, I really, really thought that Dawson was gonna handle Pascal.... but Pascal was able to land and land effectively on Dawson, and shots that shook him too. Idk... my head says Dawson should beat Pascal... but who knows. I know one thing, Id be looking forward to this fight.
Not that it really means anything, but Dawson would beat Pascal in a rematch. Consider that Pascals entire reputation is based on his win over Dawson, who for whatever reason didn't want to try that hard that night. Dawson is gifted , but doesn't seem motivated half of the time , so another mediocre but enthusiastic Pascal type overacheiver will outhustle him again. Probably losing to Pascal the first time will motivate Dawson to do just enough to waltz to a drowsy decision win.
Hard to tell Dawson **** the bed in that fight Pascal did and could hurt him but he also tires and Dawson didnt push him enough to tire him also Dawson in the 11th when desperate rallied and hurt him but it was too little too late if he was aggressive early like that he may have been able to stop him
Pascal's circling movement and random explosions gave Dawson a lot of trouble the last time out. Dawson needs to stay focused, aware, and use his jab regularly to win this. He has the talent to do so.
