What happened to Adrian Diaconu fighting Glen Johnson?

what a waste of fucking time. like branco is really gonna win that fight against adrian. Johnson has the much better chance, he deserves the title shot more and is certainly a bigger threat to Diaconu. Branco is not ranked in the top10 and i doubt hes even in the top 15.

The WBC has also decided that Johnson will fight the winner of Branco vs. Diaconu. what a waste of fucking time. like branco is really gonna win that fight against adrian.

The WBC has also decided that Johnson will fight the winner of Branco vs. Diaconu. Nobody wants to see Diaconu-Branco. I hope they lose money on that farce.

Slicksouthpaw16, I just found this article: http://www.thefightnetwork.com/news/boxing/773/branco_gets_nod_over_johnson_as_diaconus_next_mandatory_challenger The WBC made the decision, not Diaconu nor his management. I personally would have preferred Johnson, since he would be the better name on Diaconu's resume, although I don't think either really deserved it. Thanks for confirming it and i now i understand. What i can't understand is that Branco has not beaten a name opponent and thats how fighters get the mandory spot. By fighting other ranked opponents. The WBC suck for that. After the way he fought against Dawson I think he deserves a shot. Wouldn't you agree? Agreed. Thats my point.

I don't know, I remember reading that the WBC was going to decide between the two, and then a couple of days later I read Branco was chosen. They're actually about equal - Branco was good in his prime and had a world title, and although he's coming off a string of wins, hasn't beaten a good opponent in a while. Johnson has had a lot of losses, including his last fight, and has had more opportunities and title shots over the years than just about anybody except Golota. Someone in his prime like Braehmer might be better. Thats a good point, Johnson has had his losses, however most of them were before he hit his true prime and he IS the dean of the divison. No one can claim that they are the best before fighting Johnson and since Johnson is supposly the mandotory, i wonder if Diaconu will end up giving him his shot. I actually wouldn't blame him for not fighting him, but you would have to take back some of the stuff you said about Dawson avoiding the best if Diaconu doesn't fight the best in his title reign. :)

The WBC decided to make Silvio Branco the mandatory instead of Johnson, because Johnson already had a title shot this year and lost a UD. Although a lot of people whined about a robbery, it doesn't change the fact that Johnson lost to Dawson! I'm sure Diaconu's management will give him another opportunity, but it's better if Glenn is coming off a win. I agree. :popcorn:

Although a lot of people whined about a robbery, it doesn't change the fact that Johnson lost to Dawson. Is there any souces to confirm that? Becuase shortly after his contraversial loss to Dawson, i heard that Johnson was awarded by becoming the WBC's number one mandotory. Johnson was never a mandotory for Dawson, Dawson choose him becuase it would be a good win over a good name and for Johnson to have his title shot. After Branco's loss to Strip Drews, he has not beaten any name fighters. Therefore, how does he deserve a title shot? Explain to me, Tunney. :popcorn:

this fucking sucks
