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

I like adrian. I have seen most of his fight but let face it, Dawson is just too much.

I've just rewatched dawson-adamek and dawson is just too good: hand speed, fast 1-2, footwork, a damn good right uppercut :shock:.

One thing tough is baby dawson attitude: changing trainer 1 month before the fight, crying like a little baby because of Mayweather comments, complaining about not having his family with him at training camp ?!? Diaconu's family is in romania f*** !!!

 

Oh, by the way, diaconu is sparring with micheal Simms.

Bute will be in diaconu's corner and he his going to train at micheal simms gym in california.

 

Jeffa Ballogou from congo is going to be another sparring partner for diaconu. Both are southpaw and have a lot of experience.

Sorry its in french mate:

Yes, he does indeed have a good uppercut.

Have fun :good

 

Im going to this fight,which is actully a pick'em for me from watching that Diaconu fight on you-tube he's powerful,relentless but wild and wide im picking Dawson to win this fight because i think hes smart and has better defence and maybe expolt and expose him to a decsion.

 

While i haven't seen Diaconu fights ('cept for brief Youtube clips), Chad's one of my faves, so I will have to go with him all the way. Analysis? Favoritism needs none!

 

Dawson is paying $1.29 for the win and Diaconu is paying $3.50, that is just silly, anything over $3.30 and you have to back Diaconu, the guy has over 300 amateur fights and world and European titles as an amateur

 

Dawson easy. I suspect Diaconu will knock down Dawson at some point, but Dawson has shown that he has good resolve, and generally he's just too slick and slippery for a straightforward puncher like Diaconu. I'd also be willing to guess that there are entire rounds where Diaconu doesn't land a clean punch on Dawson.

 

That last comment was just silly. Diaconu has more of a chance to beat Chad then Hatton does PBF. PBF was never floored!:rasta

 

I think that Diaconu's power is being severely overrated following the Hoye bout.

Diaconu's opponent prior to Hoye, Orlando Rivera had been knocked out in two straight bouts by Prince Ajamu (the guy that couldnt even hurt the supposedly shaky chinned Roy Jones Jr. of late) and even worse, Rivera had been stopped by the 18-12 Berry Butler right before he fought Diaconu.

Roberto Coelho, another Diaconu opponent who survived, has been stopped 6 times throughout his career and Diaconu couldnt get to him.

And how many southpaws has the Shark faced in his career?
