***Lebedev-Jones / Groves-DeGale / Pascal-Hopkins RBR Extravaganza***

And I'm back.

Just in time for Bad Chad too, nice one. Expecting him to be tentative early on after such a long layoff, if he finds a rhytem and starts letting his hands go he could force a stoppage.

 

interested to see this dawson fight, `see what hes worked on since losing to Pascal, does he get the next shot at the Pascal/BHop winner as he was contracted to fight Pascal again if he lost or does the rematch clause only stand if Pascal wins

 

10-9 Dawson

Commanding from centre ring. Fighting taller but backing straight in straight line which is worrying. He controlled round behind pawing jab and left hands and body shots.

 

Dawson's yellow Hearn's shorts.

 

Dawson's handspeed is scary when he really commits.

 

HBO are cocks

 

Diaconu was a perfectly picked fight mind. Very short squat fighter that isn't really a traditional pressure fighter either. Perfect to outbox.

 

Dawson is looking good, hasn't even had any of his mental lapses yet.

 

Dawson 20-18

Commanding so far, only problem is the problem he's always had. Throw a few punches then stand off and admire. TFFP your right it's scary speed.

He wobbled Diaconu knocked back with left hand there.

Dawson just needs to put 3-4 punches together and look to land lead hook and short left down centre as well as pop to body.

Stoppage is there for taking.

 

HBO's sudden found love in of Dawson is a disgrace.

 

Is this a WBC eliminator or silver belt/some other nonsense?

I'm at work so the rbr is a godsend. Cheers.

 

30-27 Dawson

Fight's following same pattern. Dawson leading off on Diaconu from range and got fight pretty much won here already.

I think Diaconu will be dropped with a right hook counter soon. He's opening up to it..

 

This is fairly boring.

 

Dawson's evading everything with ease, even now when Diaconu is beginning to take more risks. Chad just has to start punishing him now with more than just jabs.

 

Almost as boring as a Khan fight.
