There you go, the WBC finaly annouced it. They forced Shaw to go to purse bid with Yvon Michel's group. That will be a hell of a fight.
You still think Chad is ducking, or did it finally compute that he simply preferred the more lucrative opportunity against Tarver?
I was just trying to stir reactions my friend. Don't worry, I know Chad isn't ducking. And if you read all my posts, in one I was explaining that I understood he was going after Tarver, though I didn't think the WBC would let it happen.
great news, I am interested to see how Dawson will deal with Adrians power and pressure. Have they announced the venue, I heard Montreal was an option.
Just like when he fought Adamek, right JETSKI? You f*cken hater. He'll prove you wrong once more my friend. I'm just glad he's not fighting tarver on the 29th of Sept as I'll be in A.C. for the Taylor - Pavlik showdown!! Bad Chad Dawson
Gotcha. My bad, then. I don't think it was the WBC, though. At least according to Gary Shaw, they couldn't find enough money to satisfy Tarver -- i.e., he didn't really want the fight. It's fine with me. I'm definitely pumped about Dawson vs. Diaconu. I rewatched Dawson vs. Adamek again last night, and something about Chad makes me worry that he's more vulnerable to getting tagged than I first believed. But he's young and still improving, and obviously Adamek would be tough on anyone.
But you'll still miss his fight, which stinks. Can't feel too bad for you, though -- it's not like you're going to be at a wedding.
I was at a wedding the night of Cotto - Judah, but made it home in time, no problem. I have full respect for Diaconu even though I've never seen him fight. If alot of people here think he's solid, he must be to some degree I guess.
I'm no hater. But I would like to see Diaconu take care of what Tomasz couldn't. Adrian presents a whole different style of fighter compared to Adamek. Chad will have his hands full. It should be a wild affair!:!:
You haven't even seen the Youtube repaly of his fight with Rico Hoye that was on ESPN a few months back? Go to Youtube.com NOW!!!
IMHO, even Chad doesn't know how strong Diaconu is. A lot of people say Adamek is stronger though I doubt it. He's got a nice record and all but Diaconu is brute. We will see in Chad's eyes when he gets connected for the first time if he underestimated Diaconu or if he can handle it. GO-SHARK-GO.
