Sorry if this has already been discussed, but this was the first I had heard of it. As we all know, Pascal is facing former Cleverly victim and Polish GOAT Kuziemski in December, but it looks as though the rematch between Jean Pascal and current champion Chad Dawson is pencilled in for 23 March 2013.

"Chad Dawson and Jean Pascal will be fighting on March 23 on HBO. It's all done," said Shaw, confirming an earlier report by BoxingScene.com.

"Our deal is done with HBO. Our deal is done between [Pascal's promoter] Yvon Michel and myself. We just haven't signed the papers, but it's all done and finished."

So it looks like Pascal won't be facing Cloud. Interesting match-up again, especially with Dawson coming off the Ward beating. Who would you pick in the rematch? Do you think Pascal can repeat his performance from last time out or will Dawson be able to neutralise Jean's sporadic attacks?

I don't remember the first fight at all. Worth a watch/re-watch?

I'd say so, I haven't seen it since the night but I remember it being a decent scrap. Pascal building up an early lead before beginning to tire and letting Dawson back into the fight. After watching the Dawson fight and subsequently his two fights with Hopkins, I can see Pascal getting stopped late unless he has made some serious improvement to his stamina.
