Contrary to his normally calm approach to a fight, Pascal feels anxious and nervous over his time away from the ring going into Friday night's fight against an opponent who also boxed in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, as Pascal did, 2004 Polish Olympian Aleksy Kuziemski (26-2-1, 16 KOs). It is not the fear of his opponent's attack - Pascal has never been afraid of another fighter - rather the anxiety of having lost his bearings, not being able to fulfill the expectations of the loyal Quebec public. He is well prepared, as skilled as ever, and he will give his best effort on Friday night. Pascal's potential world title fight on HBO against WBC World Champion Chad Dawson, at least for now, remains down the r...

"I'm disappointed that the fight is not happening," said Dawejko. "The only thing I can do is get ready for the next one.  My promoter Boxing 360 is doing a good job keeping me busy, so I'm assuming I'll be back in the ring soon." "Fighters get hurt in this sport and it's just one of those things where we as a team must move on," stated Boxing 360 promoter Mario Yagobi. "I'll have something lined up in the near future for Joey.  He'll be back quickly."

In his last fight, Dawejko lost a close split decision where one judge scored the bout 59-55 in his favor.  After reflecting on the loss, Dawejko feels he can step up his game by working harder on his conditioning. "I'm a better fighter then what I showed in my last fight," said Dawejko. "I believe if I work harder on my conditioning I'll be able to perform at a higher level.  I'm going into this fight with a different mindset.  I plan to be more aggressive and let me hands go much more." Rivas is coming off a split decision win against Sylvera Louis (4-2, 1 KO) and Dawejko believes he has the boxing skills to win this fight. &quot...
