Dawson camp has declined to face Adrian Diaconu on 5/21 HBO Pascal-Hopkins II card.

...................bump

corey_erdman Corey Erdman @stevemaxboxing Yup, a 50-50 fight! Then HBO informed them that they couldn't choose their own opponent if they wanted the fight. #boxing Steward turns his guys into *******.

Dawson is a piece of ****. I am loving this.

........................bump. For the apparent story on how things went down.

corey_erdman Corey Erdman Allegedly Emanuel Steward felt Dawson shouldn't have to take a "50/50 fight" when he's "already facing the winner of Hopkins/Pascal" #boxing Interesting........50/50?

I'm glad everyone got their **** together. Dawson. Step yo game up, son

If Dawson did decide to not go through with this fight I halfway wouldn't blame him. Diacanu pulls out of fights with injuries all the time anyway. Get an opponent who's really willing to fight. Before, I thought I heard that it was Diacanu holding the fight up and there was a story about it on this site.

Dawson better be seriously ready for this fight or he may end up suffering the fate of Rico Hoye!

danrafaelespn Dan Rafael Gary Shaw just told me the issues from the Chad Dawson camp have been worked out & that Dawson-Diaconu IS ON for May 21 on HBO's undercard. Man, great news. Dawson really needs to get in gear if he is going to turn his career around.

diaconu-cloud would be a great 1 danrafaelespn Dan Rafael Gary Shaw just told me the issues from the Chad Dawson camp have been worked out & that Dawson-Diaconu IS ON for May 21 on HBO's undercard. good. now I have to be quiet about chad for a couple more months. should be interesting when bhop and dawson win.

I hope the fight gets made. If not Chad is becoming a wasted talent.

wtf is up with dawson?

If Natas is right then good. But if the fight does not happen then there has to be a very good explanation for this, maybe a disagreement or something.

So he is refusing to fight on the undercard, and not refusing to fight Diaconu! This guy fought Amadamek, but you guys think he is scared to Diaconu? The same Diaconu is probably would end getting Ko'ed against Dawson anyways!! I don't think hes afraid. But he has to know that his inactivity has been hurting his career. He should swallow his pride and take the damn fight. This in and out crap is getting annoying.

Dawson should fight Cloud. Probably not going to happen anytime soon.

I'm told that the Dawson camp is today reconsidering and may take the fight with Diaconu after all. - danrafaelespn WTF is wrong with him? HBO should just say F$%k it and say were not interested anymore. Go take your 15 fans and go to Showtime.
