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

It's not his power that I'm impressed with; it's his instinct for seeing an opening/weakness and going for it/exploiting it...hence the name: The Shark. Also, Diaconu has been developing FAST...of course he wasn't so good in his previous fights...

...As long as he keeps on improving at the same rate, and his instinct keeps, he will do well, even if not well enough to win.

 

Fair enough, but given what I've seen, he's going to have to improve a shitload before he can handle a slick southpaw like Dawson.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Dawson hit the canvas, but I don't see a stoppage on the horizon.

Do you know how many southpaws, if any, Diaconu has fought? I mean considering he already looks like he is leagues behind Dawson in technique, throwing in the southpaw factor could be VERY, VERY detrimental.

 

I give Diaconu 3/10 in terms of chances, if he fights with the same spirit as against Hoye. That is not NOTHING. And it should make for an exciting fight!

 

In the contrary, Diaconu's power is underated.

In all of his fights I've seen, his opponents always got shaken/surprised with diaconu's first punches. The smarter one, would fall in a defensive mode, using the ring and waited 'til diaconu would tired and slowdown. Whereas the braver ones, got koed trying to fight back early on...

Regardless the outcome, I'm sure Dawson will admit after the fight that diaconu is heavy fisted.

 

The thing with diaconu is that he took a year off in 2004. He came back in 2005 overweight and not in great shape. Since then, he took easy fights to try to get in better shape.

Against Rivera, according to his trainer, he was in terrible mental and physical shape. Since then, he follows a new training program and he seems really motivated. Against Hoye he was in the best shape of his life according to many.

It sucks, we all know here that The Sharks is really talented but it seems that he is a bit lazy. He has the reputation of not training too hard and not always listening to his corner.

Kenny Bowman his a southpaw but it doesn't mean lot :verysad

I dont think that he has a lot of chances to win though. But at 3,90 :admin, it is really tempting to put some money on him !!! What do you gentlemen think ?

 

Sounds like a plan man!:blurp

 

And who the hell is Hoye? A damn journeyman. Dawson has proved his immaculate skills against the some of the top fighters in the division in Harding and Adamek. Hoye is FAR too open defensivly and is going to eat leather thick and fast.

 

No I dont. . Nor does Diaconu. But after some improvising that's how Chad face will look : :nut. Go Adrian!!!

 

:think yep good points. I think diaconu did well too. Its just that he didn't have the same spark in his eye that he always had.

If you can read french and some time to kill, its stephane larouche talking about this particular fight:
