~ Adrian "The Shark" Diaconu v. Chris "Hard Hittin'" Henry LIVE VIDEO STREAM LINK ~

I had it a draw!atsch

I gave Henry rounds 1, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12. I scored no 8 round against Henry.

I gave Diaconu rounds 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10.

So...I had 114-114.

Saying this...some rounds were close and I can see 115-113 for either...

I thought overall Diaconu had the slightly cleaner more effective shots. :? :? :?

I need to watch it again and score it carefully.

Can I see a Henry win? Only if you score those slips and falls as KDs.

Can I see a Diaconu win? Only if those slips were slips and not KDs...but why the hell did he go through the ropes like that!?:huh
Not sure what happened there!:? :? :?

If those were not slips but KDs, it's a close but clear win for Henry, of course...:huh

If this fight was given to Henry, it would have been OK, too.

It was really close...neither deserved to win, really, nor to lose. atsch

I was impressed by Henry's chin, by his strength, by his stamina, by his punch.

I was impressed by Diaconu's solidity - chin and body.

But damn...Diaconu was awful tonight...not so much the way he boxed etc...but his stamina was ****! Henry is a strong, fit guy, sure...but why the **** was Diaconu falling all over the place like a rag doll?

Damn! That wasn't cool!:-(

atsch

Maybe Henry was the better man on the night after all!:huh :think

Would be nice if there was rematch between Henry and Diaconu and Johnson and Dawson!

Both fights were very close and I'm not sure I was happy with either result.:-(

atsch

 

It did look at times that the ref was letting Diaconu have a breather when he was getting beaten up, in the late rounds; the ref was certainly not against Diaconu...:-( :verysad :-( :verysad :-(

On that performance, he can only beat Dawson if...well...if...well...if...

I think Dawson still makes a couple of mistakes - he sometimes just stands there to be hit, for no apparent reason...so, Diaconu can get to him then, because I think his punches are strong enough to KD Dawson...the fact that Diaconu has a very good chin and is solid to the body means he can just wait for Dawson to come to him, as he did against Henry tonight...

His chance of beating Dawson if Dawson doesn't go crazy? 20%.

Not great! Dawson should definitely take this; he needs to just box and jab...and he gets at least 10-2.:good

 

Hmmm...not sure...Diaconu has a chance for 5-6 rounds...I wouldn't underestimate his chance...he hurt Henry there...Henry has a great chin...:yep

Maybe Bute is better after all.:think

 

Anyway, unless those slips/falls were indeed KDs...this was no robbery. It was a very close competitive fight. 115-113 is fair enough for either fighter, I think; including for Diaconu.

What do you think?:think

I also think Dawson would have a sightly better chance of winning against Henry than Diaconu, because of styles, although I also think that whereas he wouldn't stop Henry, he probably would stop Diaconu.

Again, to people who underrated Henry - was this a club fighter with a suspect chin?

I don't think so.

I liked him a lot.

Both Diaconu and Henry are B-, I think.

Dawson is B to B+, but not B+ yet...

Hmmm...
