For those it interests, Pascal-Diaconu II december 11 confirmed, first fight was quite exciting, this one should be all sparks as well, especially because this time Diaconu won't show ring rust and Pascal will be more than eager to show that his victory during their first fight wasn't a fluke.
Pascal-Diaconu II : le 11 décembre - RDS.ca
Should be another good fight, I think Pascal takes it again!
You got be fukking kidding me. What a waste of time. Aside from one moment in which Diaconu stunned Pascal, the fight was completely dominated by Pascal. It was one-sided
I don't know, this seems to be as pointless as the Dawson/Tarver rematch. :-\
Of course I’m very interested in this one, they are two of our best fighters; but I see the same outcome unless Diaconu catch Pascal with a big shot.Quote:

Aside from the hope of a bomb it is not that meaningful.Pascal might just stop him.
Actually, Pascal got wobbled more or less 2 times, if you consider that Diaconu didn't fight for something like almost 2 years due to various contingencies, he wasn't at his best. Sure, Pascal seems to have a load of gifts elsewhere where Diaconu might not have them but Diaconu is indeed a very good boxer with a good speed and thunder in both hands; Keep in mind that Dawson was shit scared to fight him to the point of going in person to Sulaiman's house to beg for avoiding that fight.Quote:

Pascal is probably better in a few domains but almost 2 years of inactivity sure does damage on it; Normally Diaconu is a lot sharper and a bit faster too, i still believe that next time the fight will be a lot tighter though Pascal has normally a little edge.Quote:

What's with all the negative response on this thread? I haven't seen the first fight, but everything I've read has said that it was a killer, fight of the year candidate. Is that not true?
I really enjoyed watching this fight. Good match-up, although I don't know about FOTY man. I can't fully remember my card but i thought Pascal had it quite convincigly in the end so don't quite get why they need a rematch to be honest. Pascal should have moved on IMO and challenge someone else and start to make some noise... I like him and think he'd give anyone at Super Middle and Light Heavy a run for their money for sure....
To be honest, if there are rematches floatin about for Pascal, i'd rather see him in with Froch again....
Like to see the winner face the winner of Dawson/Johnson.
Pascal is slowly becoming one of my fave fighters
his last 2 outings have been classics as i fully expect this to be!
I hope you’re right, I want to see the same Diaconu who fought Rico Hoye, not the one who fought Chris Henry.Quote:

If there was some ring rust it’s nobody but him or his promoter fault, why he’s fighting so rarely? Pascal fought Branco after the first fight, but him, Adrian, choose to wait for the rematch.
:vd: He fought 2 months prior to the Pascal fight. He went 8 full rounds. There was no ring rust. He was just out of his league.Quote:

And to think Dawson would be afraid of Diaconu is hilarious. Dawson gave up the WBC title in order to make the Tarver fight happen. Not only is Tarver twice the fighter Diaconu is but fighting Tarver brought Dawson 7 figures. Diaconu would of brought him 5 figures.
Pascal is one of those guys who seems to fight at the level of his opponent. I expect the fight to be closer than the first fight as Pascal will shelve his natural advantages over Diaconu and go to war again.
