Damn,then that Stanley Ketchel guy was a real disgrace,he actually fought 6 rounders in between title defnses. If you don't know the situation don't speak on it.He was suppose to fight Branco in Italy and the fight got canceled so they took Whittom on short notice at 187.
Apples/oranges. Fighters in this era don't fight as often as they did then. If Diaconu was fighting 7, 8+ times a year it would be acceptable. He isn't. I know the situation. He fought a bum in an 8 round fight while sitting on his title. There are a million fighters out there who could have stepped in and yet he fought a bum. In an 8 round fight. While sitting on the title. Everything else is an excuse.
A million figters in 3 days?Yeah I bet. The fight was a toon-up to shake rust up and Whittom is just as good journeyman as any other so they called him. I'm done with you sir,hate on.
All you have to offer is one excuse or another. You have no arguments because it is justified hate against a fraudlant "titlist" whose nuts you swing on just because he is Romanian. Don't let nationalism blind you, this guy is a fraud. Real champions don't fight 8 round fights between title defenses, not in this era. Hell, real contenders don't even do that.
Show me exactly where I ''swing on his nuts''? Everything I said is what happened.I don't overrated him or underrate him in what I've said. If I ''swing his nuts'' would you agree you ''hate him because he raped your mother''?
I just Pascal by TKO. This guy is an elite fighter. Yeah, he lost to Froch clearly by decision. But he put up a good fight. Pascal fought really well against Brian Norman and Omar Pittman. Diaconu is unproven. Trust me.
You're defending this guy for fighting a bum in an 8 round fight while sitting on a title. How much more could you swing from his nuts?
Terry are you sarcastic or what? Because he needed a fight and he had 3 days to sign for a fight at 187 and in the same day he signed to fight Pascal but I guess that doesn't count.
Not as long as he's fighting 8 round fights against bums while sitting on his title. How can you possibly find that acceptable behavior? How could you root for a fighter like that?
Just because Pascal was outboxed by Carl Froch doesnt mean he isnt World Class at LHW. He lost to the best.
Because NOBODY serious would have took the fight on 3 days notice for the title.Can you understand that?Nope. I've been rooting for him since 97 or something like that,not gonna change now.
There is a difference between world class and elite man. And he didn't look good vs Pittman nad Norman.
So instead of holding off for a couple weeks to find a decent challenger and defend his title he fights a bum in an 8 round fight? That's the kind of guy you support? To each his own I guess. I prefer a little more grit to my fighters, but whatever works for you.
The Pascal fight was all but signed.From april to june there ain't a lot of time to train so he took that toon up.
