~~~ Chad DAWSON v. Adrian DIACONU ~~~ ANALYSIS THREAD ~~~

dawson will win close fight 115-113......

 

Not it wasnt.

Getting floored by feather fisted Harding from a stiff jab is why i am certain Chad's chin is weak.Keep in mind Harding has all of 6 KO's during his pro career.

Diaconu has to bank on landing one big shot because he isnt going to win rounds against Chad.

 

I agree.

 

Dawson was also floored by a lesser fighter in one of his earlier fights.

 

*Cough* Eric Weak Punching Harding *cough*

 

Strengths:

Dawson: handspeed, unorthodox stance (right handed southpaw), versatility, boxing skills, movement, exceptional defence
Diaconu: power, chin, ability to cut the ring off, tremendous amateur experience, solid defence

Weaknesses:

Dawson: average chin, apparent lack of killer instinct
Diaconu: short stature, one dimensional (has only shown limited counter-punching skills)

Overall: Great fight between two undefeated top ten light heavyweights! Dawson late TKO is my pick. :good

 

Good analys but once Dawson will feel the shark's power, he wont be the same. That i can tell you.

 

Good points indeed, and I have to agree with Quik on this.

 

No someone lesser than Harding.

The Showtime commentators mention it during the Adamek fight.

 

Here's how it's going to look like...

The last four punches:

Round 10
Dawson dives ahead with a quick jab to Diaconu's stomach but Diaconu knows Chad can't hurt him so he walks straight through the jab and unleashes a huge left hook to Chad's head and follows with a left hook to the liver and ends Chad's night with a right uppercut on Chad's jaw.

Ciao and good night Chaddy.:hi:

 

BTW my prediction is a Chad UD.

Dawson is a stylistic nightmare for anyone who faces him.He is a one of a kind in the division right now with all of his asset's.

I have only seen a little bit of Diaconu and i know he can crack and is aggressive,the perfect style to KO Chad.

Diaconu wont be winning rounds unless he manages to score KD's so his only hope is to crack Chad.My heart hopes he does it but mind says Chad wins a UD.

 

We will see. I am a bit confident in Diaconu. Hes hungry. More than anyone I have seen in Boxing for a while....


You guys think Pavlik is hungry? Look at Diaconu.

My sig says all.
