Chad DAWSON v. Adrian DIACONU ~ ANALYSIS and PREDICTION Thread

Where do people get the idea that Dawson struggled against adamek for the last three rounds? You need to watch the fight again, maybe when you watched it you felt scared for Dawson after the knockdown so your perception of what was happening was a bit off, Dawson even won the remainder of the round of the knockdown with adamek charging at him, mentally weak is something Dawson is most definitely not.

 

Based on what? I think it is his most underrated quality, he has unlimited self belief and determination.

 

It's all null and void once Diaconu lands a few clean punches. Self belief and determination? **** outa here mate with that bullocks.Self belief and determination will be replaced by pain, suffering, fear and the poor taste of defeat. So get it through your ****in head already:fire

 

Please explain the difference and how he is lacking mental strength? Self-belief and determination carry you through the tough times, Dawson has had some tough moments and never lost his composure in the slightest so i'm looking forward to what you can tell me.

 

Well that was informative and eye-opening, thanks for that.

 

What's the big fuss about Dawson's chin? When he fought Harding he got knocked down from a counter-jab, a typical counter-jab that almost every fighter has been knocked down from. Does that mean he can easily be knock down from a jab? Of course not. As a matter fact he was getting hit often by the jab so much he recieved a cut in the 10th round. In his fight against Adamek he got hit by a right hand that he didn't expect coming. Dawson was moving in angles, while not having his guard up, and got caught by a right hand. Most likely was overconfident because he was way ahead in the score cards, I've seen this happen to numerous elite fighters. The point is, if you Diaconu fans think Dawson will just be koed from a couple hard shots, well your in for a big surprise. I even doubt Diaconu will land anything cleanly.

 

I see him landing the harder shots in some rounds while Dawson doesn't do too much.

 

I see a shutout, Diaconu also fades badly later on, it's very possible he gets stopped.

 

You are an idiot...Dawson just came from 168...He fights at 172-173. How in the hell is it hard to make weight when you fight under the limit? :huh Your one of the those people who just spout pure ignorance on a whim...

 

Yeah, I would like to know how many of Diaconu's fights his new found fans have seen? He is obviously a journeyman boxer, yet they claim Diaconu is a Mike Tyson makeover. These deluded people are setting themselves up a a very big disappointment.

When did Dawson show mental weakness? He might have shown it after the knockdown by Adamek insofar as he was doing much more running than in the previous rounds. However, despite the running he was still winning the rounds. That has to tell you that Dawson is a serious threat to anybody in any weight division.

 

:nut Yeah Hoye was mythically transformed. And before the fight Hoye had a better KO % than Diaconu. So numbers are not telling everything. Diaconu will prolly lose but if one of those myths hits Chad flush it will be ugly and bloody.

 

Well if Diaconu is a journeyman, so be it. I like him. Decebal said he is clumsy. I think it looks that way cuz he is short and he has to jump forward to catch his oponents (somethig that Tua did too and no one called him clumsy). He does not have that aura that US media/fans are putting on Chad Dawson but he has more experience than Chad (some will disagree). He is going for the jugular (cuz he knows Chad will oubox him 12 rounds) and that makes him a loose canon. If Dawson he is ******ed (like Mayweather said) he can try to trade powershots with Diaconu and we will see whos chin/power is best.

 

He is that aura around him because he is that good, it's not because he's American. Do you honestly believe what Mayweather says? I take what he says with a grain of salt, and so far Dawson has proven he has great ring intelligence. Dawson won't trade blow for blow with Diaconu, he will box him in the outside and avoid getting hit, simple logic. Dawson does not need to prove he has the better chin/power because will he prove he's the better fighter when he wins the fight. I think Dawson is more experienced than Diaconu because he has fought the better fighters in the pro's and has a long amateur career. Sure Diaconu has more amateur fights and a lengthy amatuer career as well, but just because someone has a longer amateur career doesn't automatically make them a better fighter. Tomasz Adamek had a lengthy amateur career and he's still a limited boxer.
