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.
I don't see any problem with this, the first fight was exciting so why not, that being said I don't think a rematch was really necessary, I thought Pascal outboxed, outworked him, even outpunched him, but why not, do it again. Maybe Diaconu can catch him and follow up.
This I assume was just clearly the biggest money fight out there for both since its a big fight in Canada.

The guy he fought 2 months before is a guy called David Witthom who's the biggest tomato can you can ever dream of. Not even a decent guy enough to shake off anything and prior to that, his last fight was a year before.
Second, for Dawson, it didn't happen like that; Dawson did drop his title because he didn't want to fight Diaconu, even Gary Shaw mentioned it in an interview as it was seen as pointless, it made a big history over here, especially as before that, Dawson went to Sulaiman in person in Mexico to beg him to not make Diaconu his mandatory opponent, which Sulaiman didn't listen to (he's an old dumbfuck but has been ok for that one). unfortunately, Diaconu injured himself, delaying the fight and then Dawson took another optional defense and ran away because apparently, money/risk, Diaconu was a very very bad compromise.
I never said that Diaconu would beat Dawson, I just sums up the fact that Dawson ducked him and didn't want to fight him, dot.
Fight Prediction Leagues > Dawson ducks Diaconu, stripped of title.
p.s: The ducking thing started, as I stated, PRE-Tarver and PRE Diaconu's injury.
Tending to agree pal. I was really excited to see Pascal in against Diaconu and downloaded it soon as I could. I'd watched a few of his fights before Froch and was intrigued, then after the Froch fight he earned respect IMO. Definately think he's got some good match-ups in him aginst the top fighters. Only thing is, hopefully he doesn't get knocked out being careless against Diaconu in the rematch like he almost did in their first fight...Quote:

And quoting some poster from some obscure forum doesn't count ass proof. :vd:
Completely agree, there's nothing official. You have to ask the most obvious question.Quote:

Why would a man willing to take on Tomasz Adamek, Glen Johnson twice & Antonio Tarver be afraid of fighting Diaconu, whose best wins were over a Rico Hoye who was ruined by Clinton Woods & Chris Henry, who is a capable fighter but nowhere near championship level. Seriously why?
There ain't no reason. I don't know about some of these posters. Can they not see the foolishness of even suggesting Dawson ducked Diaconu? Diaconu is like a midget compared to Dawson. Every advantage belongs to Dawson. He would toy with him until the ref or corner stopped it. Really for Dawson to face Diaconu would be a step backwards for himQuote:
