    I've never really been impressed by Diaconu, I think Pascal can win this fight if he's able to stay on the outside and use his speed advantage to keep away from Diaconu, not sure if he can do it though.

      He's gunning for a shot at Adamek, I think it's close to being signed, they are just looking for a network to pick it up. Definitely a bigger fight for Glen.

      Happy to hear this fight is signed, definitely continue the excellent year we've had so far.

        No, the mandatory was Sylvio Branco, but his promoter backed out of the fight because they were financially unable to have it in Italy considering the purse bid amount.

        It had to do with Italian TV wanting to show the Fragomeni fight, after Fragomeni became injured they wouldn't televise it. So they decided to cancel the whole card, including Branco-Diaconu.

          Johnson vs. Adamek will be a war.

          Both rarely take a backward step.

            Which is a good thing, because now Dawson can take care of his mandatory.

              I already can't wait for that one. I'm ready for the hype. 2 of my faves.

                I'd love to see him unify. By then someone will come up from 168 (especially if Kessler ever takes a real fight again).

                  Well Zsolt Erdei would never fight Dawson, so that just leaves Hugo Hernan Garay. And are you sure Johnson/Adamek is close to being finalized.

                    Garay and winner of the fight on this thread.

                    Kathy Duva said that the only thing that's holding them back right now is a date on TV. She said that Adamek's camp wants the fight, and we all know what The Road Warrior will say. These two are the real deal.

                      I find it hard to believe that that fight wouldn't be picked up immediately by Showtime. Even HBO World Championship boxing. They are both great TV and Adamek is the lineal champ who sells out Newark. This is just a matter of time to hammer everything out, boxing heads want to see if for sure.
