Pascal - Diaconu rematch on December 11!

In the Montreal Bell Centre! :thumbsup

In case you somehow missed their first meeting in June, it was a fight of the year candidate, all out war, with Pascal winning a hard-fought decision and picking up the WBC Light Heavyweight belt. But fortunately for us, there's no politics and double-headers here: Diaconu will get the chance to get the title back right away, while Pascal made a quick mandatory defense vs. Branco a few weeks ago (and he didn't look too good), so it's a go.

Both fighters have enough heart and defensive holes to produce another great fight, so let's go! :happy

 

I think he could pull it off to. Diaconu fought the wrong fight last time imo. I expected him to put lots pressure on Pascal, whilst he did put pressure on him he never put him under the kind of relentless pressure that i expected him to. He closed the distance to slow in the first fight, if he does start fast in the rematch and takes i straight to Pascal then i give him a good chance, he also hurt Pascal late in the fight to.

 

Excellent, the first fight was great. I enjoy how Canadian fights happen on Friday nights, it often means two big fights in one weekend.

 

I wanted to see Pascal fight Cloud or Erdei but if it lives up to first I wont cry about it.

 

Does anyone know if Holt-Ngoudjo have a chance to be on the undercard ?

 

I have no interest in this rematch. Pascal is clearly the better fighter and would be even dominant in the rematch. I would like to see the Dawson-Pascal next for unification.

 

i hope to be there, although i bet montreal will be very cold then, still a fantastic city

 

It's a possibility still. Part of it will probably depend on whether they can get a US network to pick up the fight. If not, then I'm not sure the money will be there for a top level undercard.

 

Thanks ! It has more chances to end up on Friday night fights than anything else if its on a Friday...It would be ridiculous not to broadcast such a good card.

 

I'd probably have to agree with you on this one. I know I saw the first fight, but don't really remember much from it. I'd almost prefer Dawson to go back to 168 since he supposedly can do it easily enough.

 

This is the last chance for Diaconu,i hope he wins.

 

this is a pointless fight
it's like dawson-tarver 2 except probably not as terrible

 

pascal should fight someone else now

 

1- The rematch was already planned before the first fight even took place.

2- That fight will be huge in Montreal since the first fight was so entertaining.

3- Nobody else worth a damn is available to fight (Dawson, Johnson, Hopkins, etc...)

 

First fight was good. Think this is a contracted rematch! Looking forward to Pascal laying down another good win.
