    Yes,even Glen admited it was fair some years ago.Branco was a good fighter,who is a decent fighter now,with a giant heart.Ulrich KOed him viciously but before that he had a great was with Fabrice Tiozzo,the ''tiozzo vs branco'' video on youtube,great fight,he had a couple of good wins in his career

    Offcourse it's true,he always had a big mouth just he used to back things up.Nowadays he gets booed off the ring after KO victories.His magic is gone come october 11th

    i have seen alot of diaconu.........i know him since the 2000 olympics, when he got knocked out in round one by a right hook from a cuban.

    and i have seen several of his pro fights.

    but let us be honest: outside of his last opponent, how many of his opponents actually came in with a winning attitude and some talent???

    NOT ONE!

    so if you do not want to judge his ability by his last opponent........by what fight do you want to judge it??
    rico hoye? please! andre tysse?? dont get me started.

    anyway, i dont question his willingness to fight the best. i just question his legit talent.

    and that is why im getting impatient to find out if he is for real or if he is on the level i think he is.

    sure, its not his fault. lets just hope the crappy wbc ratings change soon.:thumbsup

    I've seen him a lot too,give him credit after the Olympics he never lost a fight,the cuban guy won the gold and was several years older than Adrian,nobody was beating him then. I admite his opponents haven't been great but he had some guys who were decent and a lot bigger than him.Humphrey was coming down from cruiser and was #9 ranked contender,Rivera fought some decent fighters with mixed results,Thysse hasn't ever bee KD ever before Diaconu,Hoye was a good fighter,and Henry another good one.If only you knew waht was going dow at the time of the fight and he still beat him.He would have recogition for fighting elite if Dawson would man up but....

    Silvio Branco is the brother of EU light-welter champion Gianluca Branco, who beat Colin Lynes.

    I wasn't mean about it,there are hardcore boxing fans here who probably know that already.And honestly do you believe your prediction or not?

    No,the fight is signed,the promoters reached an agreement the day of the purse bid,august 18th.The fight will be in Romania somewhere between october 4th and november 15th,that's why boxrec doesn't have it,cuz the date is not yet 100%
