    Yeah...I don't know why? Americans definitely would have wanted to see Pavlik, Taylor and Dawson...and perhaps even a bit of Diaconu.

    Dawson will box his ears off.

    Also not very impressed with Diaconu. Dawson has a tremendous advantage in hand speed and is a very fast starter. He will go on to outbox Diaconu.

    Dawson by outclassing Diaconu is the most likely result.

    But Ill give Diaconu more than just a punchers chance - hes got a good style to catch the taller Dawson - Diaconu should realistically have a 25% chance or so.

    I would have to agree with this.

    Comparatively speaking, Adamek is a better boxer than Diaconu and comparable power.

    Diaconu comes in with nice angles and explosiveness.

    So, I think Chad should win 9-3, but Diaconu has more than a puncher's chance.

    I think Diaconu is Better then Adamek and that hes a lot more hungry then Chad. Chad is obviously a better boxer, more talented and better defensively than Adrian but Adrian has more hearth. Also i don't think Chad can hurt Diaconu so he wont be scare to get inside. This can go ethier way and i won't put money on this one but i hope Diaconu wins by tko 5.

    What makes you question Chad's heart? He got hurt in his last major fight and continued to throw punches, even wobbling Adamek again.

    I've never seen DAwson fight but if he's elite like some people claim he should have no trouble with Diaconu who's skills are very minimal

    Dawson has all the tools to win this one easily should he not lose focus. He's a highly skilled fighter, indeed, although getting floored by Adamek was rather embarrassing.

    It was. And Diaconu's power > Adamek's Power. Hes a short guy, with a Marciano style, and he has power, and he can rock, like he did to # 2 WBC ranked contender Rico Hoye.

    First time I saw Diaconu... Imressive, explosive and entertaniing...

    But how will a fight look like against Dawson?... Rewatch the Hoye fight, and remove the few spurts you see of Diaconu, when Hoye was on the outside putting Diaconu at the end of his (admittably, terrible) jab...

    That's how the fight with Dawson is going to look for the entrire 12 rounds (unless Dawson lands something big, and decides to end it earlier)... Dawson is 6'3 to Diaconu's 5'9, with a super fast super sharp jab. No way Diaconu beats Dawson, because as impressive as he was against Hoye, his limitations showed too. He's too crude, unless Dawson's chin really is as bad as people have been saying. Which it's not, imo. And his defense is only improving under Mayweather.

    Dawson to out-jab, out-speed and out-slick him... probably a clear UD, possible late TKO.
