    I haven't seen Dawson fight yet but I'm wondering if he's not getting hyped a la Lacy or Simms...

    I can't believe how nuthuggers are overrating Diaconu... He has a puncher's chance but overall Dawson's skill will be too much for the small guy. Chad also has decent power and I wouldn't be surprised if Dawson TKO's Disaconu in mid to late rounds...

    This is a real dark horse kind of test for dawson, one that is high risk low reward for a young fighter. Anyway, it's not like chad really deserves a big money fight yet. And this will really tell us if he is a legit, or a paper champ. My guess is that mayweather sr. will have chad give
    the short romanian alot of lateral movement and southpaw jabs not letting him cut off the ring or leaping in with power shots. I like chad to take this bout by UD. But he better fight a perect fight, or it's later days for awesome dawson.

    The Canadien based Romanian can punch and has a decent chin,but I will bet my money on the American as firepower and a decent chin are not enough to beat the capable fighter from the USA.
    Diaconu is slow,predictable,and very one-dimensional.He is probably tailor made for his much faster and better skilled American opponent.
    Dawson by wide point decision.

    You make Adrian sound like a bit of a ***** cat. Predictable? Are sharks predictable? Only to the extent that they will eat you alive if you're not careful. This is a good fight for Dawson. If he wins, he deserves quite a bit of credit for it. It's unlikely that he will have faced or will face a fighter quite like Diaconu...I for one am looking forward to see how Dawson placates his fury and unpicks him. I don't think it will be a boring fight at all.

    No,Diaconu is no pussycat,decebal.He can fight,but I cant see him winning a fight against Dawson.
    Diaconu has been underestimated time and again.Who knows? I may underestimate him ,too.
    About two years ago he travelled over to Germany in order to get a contract with the biggest German box promotion there.
    Kohl's main coach Sdunek and Kohl's other top coaches didnt consider him to be a potential top fighter.Well,obviously they have been wrong.
    I may be wrong,too.

    The managers at Interbox have a good eye in spotting potential. Even more importantly, they develop that potential. Don't be surprised to see the one-dimensional Diaconu fight even better than last time, win or lose. After all, that is the only thing that we can reasonably expect from fighters - to improve for every fight, to gun for the best no matter what, and to give their all. So far Diaconu has done all these things and deserves respect, even if he is not that talented and even if he loses to one of the best boxers at the moment, especially because he will not be boring...he'll give the fans their money's worth.:good

    Oh man i like the style of that Diaconu! He reminds me a bit of Mike Tyson, of course Tyson was much better, but i like the style of Diaconu. To bad Dawson might be to much for him, hes definately the better boxer but Diaconu has a good punchers chance.

    Oh thats interesting! It would have been great if a german promoter would have signed him, to bad that Kohl is a delusional dumb****. I bet Öner would have signed him.

    Dawson reminds me of a light heavy weight version of Mayweather but slower and less accurate. His defense doesn't seem too tight either. Rewatched the Adamek fight and that Knockdown in the 10th was even blocked by Dawson's glove. Not sure he will like the Shark's power.

    No typo there!........here are the oficial results of the bid:

    KING WINS DAWSON-DIACONU PURSE BID
    The WBC announced Friday that Don King Productions won the right to promote Chad Dawson's upcoming mandatory light heavyweight title defense against Romanian-born Canadian Adrian Diaconu.
    King's winning bid of $1,385,000 edged out the $1,300,000 bid submitted by Dawson's promoter Gary Shaw.
    Gankor Promotions filed a strong $1.1 million bid while Montreal's INTERBOX wasted a stamp, submitting a pointless bid of $454,000.
