Shark went down!

 

Round 2

Sheika now jabbing a bit more, with both men doing a lot of posing and feinting and neither looking to lead. Diaconu gets fed up every thirty seconds and loads up on a big right hand, with most of them being blocked but still moving Sheika. Good body punch from Diaconu and moments later Sheika wobbles him with a straight right lead and Diaconu takes a knee!! Diaconu comes right back and lands a pair of his own lead rights, followed by a hard pair of hooks to the body! He's looking to get instant revenge and going for the KO! Sheika then hammers him with another right and has Diaconu hurt but saved by the bell! Woah that round got good!

 

Diacnou rocked again at the end of the round!

 

I can see that. But I think he was hyped because of his power. He was a good amateur, but has yet to beat anyone of note pro.

Good shot by Sheika!!!

 

Damn, maybe shieka did come to win

 

booooooooom

 

Sup bitches!

 

Woah ****! Diaconu goes down! ****! Wow! This would be a hell of an upset if Shieka could beat Diaconu. Wow!!

 

Well done, sheika.

You can still see the ring rust on both dudes though, physically and in their game.

 

was never impressed by Diaconu at all. altways th ought he was a bit overhyped. may the best man win though!!

 

Nervous, where you from in the NW?

 

Round 3

Diaconu is aggressive, winging right hands and powerful jabs out of his tight guard. Sheika has a more relaxed stance, and is trying to pick Diaconu off with the 1-2 and shoeshines down low. Diaconu looks to land short and snappy jabs on Sheika's face but Sheika is focused on rolling away and moving his head. Sheika feints an uppercut to get inside and then misses a short combo in close. Diaconu is landing his jab from long range and going right back into hedgehog mode and turning. Good 1-2 by Diaconu. Good hook to the beltline by Diaconu. Sheika is waiting for Diaconu to come in with repeated combos and is landing one or two counter punches at a time.

Diaconu 10-9

28-28

 

This is a good fight

 

Round 4

Diaconu turning over some nice jabs andd slamming the nose of Sheika. Diaconu circles and steps in to catch Sheika every time he tries to cut him off. Sheika is looking a bit wild trying to hit Diaconu with one big shot at a time. Diaconu lands a right lead and a hook. Sheika lands an unintentional low blow and bows apologetically. Diaconu double jabs and tries to find a spot for a power punch but doesn't pull the trigger.

38-37 Diaconu
