Big body shot in round 8 for Diaconu but Pascal holds on. Pascal is bouncing around now and he just misses his 1-2 to the body. Pascal is blocking wide punches as the round goes on, Diaconu has a quick jab but he's not using it as he should. Pascal dancing and on his toes now. Both guys look a little tired here as the round is looking very slow compared to the bombastic rounds earlier. Pascal slips a four punch combo but gets BLITZED with a right hand at the end of it. Pascal WINS the round at the end by blitzing the hell out of Diaconu towards the bell. 77-74 for Pascal
Another round for Pascal... He's closing the rounds nice. He hurt him with that last flurry. 79-72 Pascal.
This is disapinting.Diacanu looks too slow,one paced and one dimensional.Pascals really not a good fighter.CMON Diacanu step it up.
Pascal is jabbing and distances on Diaconu as the Shark looks to be falling into the game plan of a one and done punch. Pascal rocks Diaconu with a right hand then ducks a wide left hand. Diaconu is showing a lot of heart in this fight. Pascal looks to be in the safety zone now as Diaconu isn't exactly doing much to take this round. Pascal is taking this round with ease IMO. Round ends, not much to report. 87-83 for Jean Pascal.
