What you saw happen to Oganov..

Maybe your right. Maybe not. But we shall see.

 

Do you want to fool me???

Diaconu has a far better workrate and has a better handspeed than Oganov...the fight will be much more competative than the one last night...

 

but dawson is far better than zuniga now, isnt he??

 

is anyone giving diaconu a chance?

 

Me.

 

I have never seen Diaconu before, but i have seen Dawson and I believe he is the class of the division right now. Dawson has got some mad skills, and very good defense, though he has been caugt once or twice.

 

I havent seen enough of Diaconu to make a fair judgement but...

Oganov sucks period.

He can crack and that is about it.

Zuniga's chin is better than Dawson's.

 

I don't think Diaconu will be "exposed" to the level that Oganov was against Zuniga, but I do believe he will lose a decision.

 

Diaconu seems much more athletic than Oganov, who has no athleticism in his lower body at all. He lumbers like a 6-8 fighter, not a 5-8 fighter.

Dawson would win a decision against AD 99 times out of 100, but the question is whether he gets caught. What scares me about Dawson -- and this is coming from a Chad fan -- is that he has gotten caught and hurt (by Adamek) by guys he otherwise outclasses. That's a bad habit.

 

Everyone should be giving Diaconu a chance. :good

That said, most acknowledge Dawson as the favourite in this one. I'm sure the bookies will, anyway.

 

Diaconu has a chance. He can crack, and he has other skills that come with that. Not like Oganov.

Diaconu KO 6/7

 

Diaconu has certainly shown better overall skills than Oganov did last night. I would say Diaconu has a chance against Dawson, but Chad should be the favorite going in. It's certainly an interesting matchup.

Oganov looked out of his league last night against Zuniga, who is not at the top of the 168 class.

 

Interesting. I knew you were predicting a Diaconu KO, but I didn't realize you think it will happen that early.

 

George Foreman said the sport of boxing is easy if you have a good jab.
Oganov had no jab and for him it was not easy.
Got a boxing lesson and his arse kicked.
