free fights..holy ****!!

Yeah should be a great fight, i think Woods is too consistent for a lazy guy like Tarver and will win a close decision. Wouldn't mind if Tarver won though, then Bad Chad could maybe fight him and be the one to rid the world of milkdud once and for all.

 

Yeah i agree with that.
I expect Woods to get thru & Dawson to handily beat Johnson.
I wouldnt mind seeing Tarver get KTFO badly tho.

 

I for see Tarver getting a gift decision because he is a showtime hype job

 

Yeah i was hoping Cintron would be the favourite, but he is the underdog.
I was hoping for some good odds on Margarito:?
But it would not surprise me to see Cintron pull out a W with Steward.
Esp after his last fight, like you mentioned, he will want to show he is on the top level.
But im leaning towards another stoppage by Margarito. Well so far anyways.

Yeah agree with you on Dawson, he will take it too.
Yeah alot of people were favouring Diaconu against him though, Diaconu had a good amateur background, but have not seen enough of him as a pro, i felt Dawson would have won handidly.

 

With Diaconu he would have to be close to the shortest top 20 fighter at Light Heavyweight.
Dawson would be far too skilled with the big height/reach advantage.

 

He had alot of amateur fights but i think he lost about 60 and in the 1st round of the olympics he got KO'd by a Cuban so i don't know if you'd say he has a good amateur background. As pro he hasn't beaten anyone apart from Rico Hoye who doesn't have the most solid chin so anyone who is picking Diaconu over Dawson is speaking from emotion, there is no logic behind picking Diaconu. What they say is Dawson is chinny and tell you Diaconu is a devastating puncher like a Tyson despite the fact that Diaconu only has about a 60% KO ratio against limited opposition. Also what Kegsy says about the height and reach, Dawson has half a foot on him plus he is far more athletic, anyone who tells you Diaconu can win doesn't know what they are talking about.

Trust me mate, if that fight comes off bet your house and everyone in it on Dawson.

 

i much prefer downloading a high quality HD rip from BT sites. Within a day i'm watching which is good enough for me. I can stay away from boxing websites for that long

I buy the good ones anyway

 

To be more accurate: He had over 300 amateur fights.

Diaconu was KO in his third game at the Olympics by the Cuban who became the champion...so u can see was KO by the best. He won silver in 98 and bronze in 97 at World Championships for amateurs. He won bronze in Euro 99 championship. He is a midget that will gain respect even from detractors like u... He has a low KO percentage cuz his opponents usually feel his power and run all day. No emotion here just facts...

 

Yeah imo i feel Dawson would win like i said before, but i do not know much on Diaconu, it would be good if he won as we share the same name
But i feel dawson would win.

 

I've never seen Diaconu fight before, but he had the chance to fight Dawson about 6 months ago and declined it.

 

Didnt he hurt his hand, i do not think he would have dogged it.

 

Why do the numbers 210 wins and 59 losses stick out to me? I never said how many fights he had but i'm pretty sure that's his record. I'm surprised that he's never won a significant AM tournament, thanks for that. If you're a top amateur you don't get KO'd.

If he is such a heavy puncher then his opponents aren't going to get a chance to run, they will be knocked out. Shouldn't a good pro be able to cut off the ring and get to the guy? That's a pretty poor excuse for him mate.

I seriously don't think the midget can gain respect from me, first decent fighter he faces will beat him. Your name suits you btw.

 

Nah the fight was on but two weeks before Diaconu pulled out with some sort of injury. Since then Diaconu fans like to believe Dawson is scared of him for some reason :huh

 

I disagree with you about Cotto, about him as a fighter and the Mosley fight.... 8-4 Cotto i scored the fight. Just because he was being defensive at times during the latter half of the fight, doesn't mean he was being effective.

Shane Mosley was stylistically a bad match up for Cotto in hind sight, much like he was for Oscar. Still, Cotto took out the fight, and showed just how well rounded he is a boxer.

His skills are very different to that of a Dawson, Mayweather or Mosley. He relies heavily on timing, his supreme balance and combination punching. Technically he is very under rated, much like KT was very under rated for his era as a boxer.

I think Cotto is definitely on the same level as all the guys i have mentioned above, just that he posseses a very different skill set. Still very effective.

Anyway, in regards to the Johnson bout, i think the fact that he opens himself up so much with his workrate, will make easy pickings for a counter puncher on the level of Chad Dawson. I wouldn't be suprised at all to see Johnson get KTFO, as unlike Adamek he doesn't know how to just sit back and let the fight slip away. An active offense will definitely be his downfall.

 

Yeah, nutcase Diaconu supporters.
