Chad Dawson v. Adrian Diaconu - 10th November, Montreal, according to Boxrec

JETSKI, shortly after the Diaconu-Hoye fight, you agreed that you would take an avatar bet with me on this (one month I think?). Are you still up for it?

I don't think the fight will happen in November because nobody knows Diaconu right now and a win over him won't be a huge reward for Dawson, but if Dawson can't get a meaningful fight, then hopefully it will happen.

Dawson would easily win this fight by very wide UD and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he stopped him. Diaconu is extremely overrated on here after his win over Hoye and the hype he is getting from some people on here is unbelievable. The guy's "rip your head off" power is WAY WAY WAY overrated. Just because his style makes him look like a Tyson-like monster doesn't mean he is. Do the guys in here hyping him up like crazy even know about his other matches where he couldn't knock out D level fighters over 10+ rounds? The reality is that Diaconu has a very aggressive style, but just "good" power and Dawson is on a whole different level than him.

 

You can spin it anyway you want. I'm praying this fight happens so his hype ends faster. Why don't you even answer my question? Do you know that Diaconu couldn't knock out D level fighters over 10+ rounds? Have you watched any of his fights except the one against Hoye? Would you like to take a one-month avatar bet with me?

Insulting the young, extremely talented, potential future pound for pounder Chad Dawson and speaking so highly about the guy who hasn't proven almost anything in his 6+ year career yet is ridiculous. The hype that many unproven fighters get on here is a joke. Especially some of the white ones. Take the one month avatar bet with me if you're so confident, make it two months if you want.

 

I don't want to sit and argue about this and I looked back and saw that you did say that Dawson would probably beat him, so all I'll say is, go look at Diaconu's other fights. Look at how his power is good at best. If you think Diaconu has a very good chance at knocking out Dawson you have to be on drugs. I think he has a tiny chance at KO'ing Dawson and that's being nice. Oh well.

"Uber-hyped" Diaconu? That's where you miss the point. On here, he is uber hyped by a few people, but that's it. Most boxing fans have no idea who he is, so there is no "uber-hype" for him at all. He knocked out Hoye on ESPN and got some people on the internet talking about him. If Dawson faces him tomorrow, the average showtime boxing viewer will not be very excited about the fight and will not be very impressed with Dawson after he outboxes Diaconu easily. BUT, if Diaconu goes on HBO or Showtime and wins 1 or 2 fights impressively against pretty good competition, people will get excited about him and Dawson vs Diaconu would be a much bigger event. That means more excitement for average fans and bigger paydays for both guys.

 

What happened to Dawson vs. Tarver?
this is the fight the division needs- SHOWTIME was trying to build that up , with the double-header last month- so what the F#%*??

Seems that DIACONU is a good fighter, but come on'- Dawson needs TARVER, and Tarver needs DAWSON- make that fight first!
Tarver is 38 years old

 

Tarver is currently ducking Dawson and really wants to make a fight with Jeff Lacy.

 

Absolutley!

Dawson blows this guy out and stops him in the 10th or 11th on total punishment. Diaconu tends to lose grip mentally in a really tough affair(see the Thysse bout where he gave away the last four rounds) and he's very hittable and throws wide.

Dawson by brutal slaughter stoppage, after 10 rounds of a brutal beatdown.

Bet the house on Dawson.:yep :good

Also, Dawson's chin is not bad at all, it's just not great, average I'd say, he was dropped off balance by Harding and was caught flush by Adamek in a spot he didn't see, he got up however and closed the round big, a chinny fighter gets finished in that scenerio.

 

NOW.

This is an easy fight, not a challenge stylistically like old man Glen Johnson would be(believe it or not!). Or like one of the awesome guys from 168 moving up would be.

The LHW division is relatively weak and Diaconu is an average player in it at best who's touted highly for the typical exciting pressure fighting style, he's not even in Dawson's class.

Chopping Adamek to pieces was a harder challenge then Adrien...
