    Both are crude sluggers who are slow(compared to guys like Mijares and Dawson) to me. They both use timing.

    The glaring differences are that Vic leaves his face wide open and does infact lunge. Adi does neither of those things. Adi is accurate and puts his punches together in a way Vic could only dream of...these are facts...aside from this I never said Adi is fast, he is infact average speed wise...Another difference between Adi and Vic is Adi is quite difficult to hit cleanly whereas Vic for the most part is open, especially when he's on the attack....also Vic is not much of a counterpuncher, Adi is....these are obvious differences:deal hence it being a horrible comparison

    Mexican a crude puncher is someone like Tiozzo, who also makes Adi look like Mijares or Mayweather

    40-50%. It all depends on which Antonio shows up. I know Dawson at one point or another will want to show that he can take a shot and will probably get into some exchanges, which will play out to Tarver's advantage.

    Whatever, I am gonna laugh my ass off when Chad UD's his ass. I like Adrian but you make it seem like he is God. I know Chad can be beaten but I dont think Adrian is the guy to do it.

    Actually Tiozzo was more skilled than a guy like Diaconu.

    He was past his best days against Branco (though far from shot), it's a bad fight to look at for what he could do in his younger days.
