I've follow both career very carefully so far, Jean Pascal is in great shape, no doubt about that, but there is something new about Adrian Diaconu this time around. I have never seen The Shark in shape for a fight..., except for this one! Diaconu is the best puncher at 175, it's a fact, and I dont care about his KO ratio, it doesn't mather! He hurts every single opponent he fought in the early rounds (1 to 4), including Andre *Iron Chin* Thysse who was down from a single shot in the second round vs Diaconu. The problem he had was that he slow down after that, he reminds me of Mike Tyson in a way. If he come in shape (which I think he will) and bang for 8 rounds instead of 4, Jean Pascal corner will throw in the towel. Pascal doesn't have great cardio, we saw that vs Froch and vs several other opponents, but he is proud, he won't go down early. Mark my word and BAN me if im wrong, Adrian Diaconu will TKO Jean Pascal somewhere in the middle rounds!
Let's hope so. Actually he knocked Thysse down in the first round. If Pascal keeps his head and boxes and gives him lateral movement he could win. I agree The Shark looks in awesoem shape for this fight and he showed class at the press conference unlike Pascal.
