Who wins Dawson-Diaconu?

Nice fight, good style matchup.

I like Chad as a fighter but he could tighten up the defense a bit and I wonder how his chin holds up cause Diaconu seems pretty explosive. I haven't seen Diaconu that much but he seems pretty patient, at times he might just get outworked. Haven't seen enough to know how he really takes a punch but he doesn't seem to have that leaky of a defence for a guy that comes forward.

So can Diaconu win a decision, will he get outworked, outboxed, can he take Dawson's punches, can Dawson handle Diaconu's power? So who wins, why?

I'd go with dawson...he showed me a lot getting off the floor against adamek and finishing that fight, it could have taken a horrible turn after that. It concerns me how much he changes trainers but other than that i see him a pretty decent fighter

I think Diaconu puts up a better fight than expected and gives Dawson a pretty hard fight. But Dawson still takes it

i chose dawson

but i wouldn't be suprise if diaconu wins

He's a good fighter but there's something about Dawson that just seems real vulnerable me. I know anybody can be stopped but he's one of those guys where it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets KTFO. Not saying it will happen here for sure, could though.

I like Dawson and i see him winning a close decision here

I slightly favor dawson, as long as he stays off the ropes with this guy and takes him into later rounds by boxing him. I think Dawson by decisive decision or late k.o. If he tries to bang with this guy though, he's getting put down. That guy can punch like a mule, though I see his stamina being in question in the later rounds.

My only problem with Dawson is that the two time he really stepped it up (against Adameck and Harding) he was knocked down. He did win those fights though otherwise impesssively. This fight could go two ways. Dawson wins a decision or Diancodu wins by KO. Im leaning toward the second one.

I think Dawson puts on a clinic, he knows Diaconu can bang so Chad will box a smart fight

I think it depends on whether BCD can take Diaconu's power. If he can use the jab,stick and move,I think he'll win,with possibly the odd spot of bother here and there.Plus I've never seen Diaconu against a nice,slick boxer so I don't know how good he is at cutting off the ring etc.

I see that Chad is fighting Epifanio Mendoza tomorrow night.

I hate it when there's an elimination and then the winner doesn't get his chance, or gets put off and put off.

Is this a tune up, or was this supposed to be Diaconu and he was hurt and this is a substitution?

As a side note: Mendoza fought for a minor title against someone with an 0-1 record!? That kind of thing usually seems to happen at minimum weight or in womens boxing...

Diaconu hurt his wrist, so this is just a last minute replacement.













Good night for boxing overall though, considering what HBO also has in store for us.

Thanks, I'd CC you if I could.

That makes me feel better, but too bad...

Yeah def a good boxing night. Too bad I don't have SHO, so I guess I'll have to catch Chad online
