    According to Dan Rafael and Steve Kim, Adrian Diaconu is likely out of the Dawson fight which was scheduled as the co-feature to Hopkins-Pascal II. The rumor is, Librado Andrade may end up being the replacement opponent.

    That's a shame. I was looking forward to that fight.

    what ever happened to Dawson vs. Cloud? It seemed like a while back it was about to be made and then it stopped being talked about.

    Andrade has seen better days, But I give him a real shot against Dawson. Dawson is way more skilled, but Andrade has that pressure that could possibly break Dawson, who mentally seems like he is a bit compromised as a fighter.

    I would rather see him fight Cloud, but oh well...

    Yeah, for the best. Diaconu hasn't looked the same since his losses to Pascal. That Shieka fight was pathetic. Andrade fighting Dawson would be a hell of a thing.

    Andrade is no walk over.... If Dawson loses this fight his career will be severely set back

    They may have talked about it briefly. Dawson had the right to do one fight before his rematch against Pascal.

    Before the WBC ordered a Hopkins-Pascal rematch.

    why is dawson so ****ing inactive, he has the talent yet he rarely fights. Its really a waste of potential. He also never makes some noise.

    Yeah agreed another guy thats way to inactive, I like active boxers, if your not injured you should atleast fight 2 times a year. I dont get why b-hop hasnt targeted cloud by the way I think he could handle him easier then pascal.
