I heard from alot of people that Dawson was faster than Pascal. I even saw people say Dawson was one of the fastest fighter's in boxing. I never saw either of these as facts. Pascal was before the fight and proved tonight he was the faster man. Even when Dawson was throwing fast combos, it wasn't as fast as Pascal's fastest combinations. Dawson's fast but he doesn't throw. Pascal however has special hand speed for a light heavy when he decides to throw.
Dawson fighting old men did him no favours, when fighting a prime fighter. It's not that Pascal was faster, Dawson just could not deal with the speed at times. Nice one Pascal
