Adrian Diaconu vs. Jean Pascal likely in June

[catalinul]

There's talk about it being on ShoBox, or Saturday night Showtime.

Even better.

Will be interesting to see how Pascal bounce's back from the Froch fight tonight he came very close to winning that so if he does look good tonight Pascal vs Diaconu will be a good fight.

I don't think Pascal really came that close to beat Froch.The englishman won it pretty clear.

saw jean pascal for the first time for the froch fight and he looked absolutely shredded, he was ripped to the bone, its not a surprise that hes moving up in weight. having said that he doesn't look like a huge SMW like bika or kessler.

iv seen pascal fight froch and iv seen clips of him here and there but can anyone tell me more about him, what his style like, is he active, can he finish an opponent, does he have a good jab. who can he beat and how is he compared to taylor, kess, andrade, miranda, bute, lacy or bika.

i know that he has a damn good chin and can take a punch, vs froch he seemed fairly strong in the late round so his conditioning is good can anyone else tell me more about him strengths and weaknesses?

He has fast hands and fast feet,somewhat slower body movement and previous to the Froch fifght he was considered a ''weak chinned'' fighter by the experts cuz he was shaken by lesser competition.He ain't a small or a big SMW,just normal size.Stamina problems late just like Diaconu.
All round good boxer.

I had it by just one point to Froch but there were a lot of close rounds so fair enough.

[Davros?]

He's a wanna be jones and overrated due to the fact he gave a very exciting fight with Froch. He struggled with mediorce competition in Omar Pittman and is just not overly impressive.

From what i have seen of Pascal he is a very good athlete but lacks some fundamental technique, I saw the Pittman fight and i would not say he struggled with him as he won all but 2 rounds against him but he wasn't to impressive after he got stunned, he is a solid fighter overall though.

This will be a good fight. Lets see if Diaconu can handle someone with some hand speed on top of a good punch. As for the person who asked about Dawson/Diaconu, the fight was cancled twice. The first time Diaconu was injured and the second time Dawson wanted Tarver instead. Not only did he make more money against Tarver, but he dropped one belt to have two. Now if Diaconu starts making a good name or gets another one of those belts, then Dawson vs Diaconu will definitely happen.

Could be interesting.

Why can't Diaconu get Dawson in the ring?

diaconu isn't big enough for dawson yet, he dropped his belt and mandatory with diconu to fight tarver. i thought the froch fight was very close, he could beat diaconu, it'll be a very interesting match

I had Froch winning 116-112,some close rounds there.

I like both Dawson and Diaconu but let's get it straight...Dawson would have had a career high payday vs Diaconu of 1,1 million.He only got 800k for Tarver.That ain't mor emoney.
But I agree Diaconu would need another few good wins and a Pascal fight is exactly right.
