Diacanu vs. Pascal: Marlon Wright Named as Ref

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Montréal - Only 9 days left before the bell rings in a fight that will make history in Quebec. WBC World Light Heavyweight champion Adrian Diaconu (26-0-0, 15KO) and contender Jean Pascal (22-1-0, 15KO) are at the final stages of their preparation in their respective camps. “The Shark” is adding the finishing touches in Montreal, and Pascal in Florida. The Montrealer by way of Romania took offence to comments made by his opponent yesterday on Radio Energie, a local radio station. Pascal alleged the WBC gave him a gift by declaring him their World champion. His reply had a lot of bite! “World champions do not receive championship belts as gifts, we win them! It takes courage, determination, desire and perseverance to become a Champion. I showed the world all those virtues when I beat Chris Henry in Romania and I am still undefeated. Jean Pascal cannot claim the same achievements.” [details]

stevie wonder would do a better job officiating this contest

I couldn't believe when I saw they are going to allow Marlon B. Wrong to ref this fight. Although I do look forward to hearing him get booed during his introduction.

Well, seems they just got 2 referees in Montreal, Marlon and another old man, grey haired, dunno his name, but he's famous for stopping fights too early, guess he's been watiching too many uk fights.

[HeartAttack]

this fight has lost credibility due to the fact that it's for the WBC trinket, and then they throw this moron in the ring. I hope either Diaconu or Pascal accidently KO's him. Despite the sanctioning body thats affiliated this fight could/should be awesome, and hopefully in spite of Marlon Wright, it will go down as such

And just to compensate Marlon B. Wright doesn’t stop it if the fighters still have pulse.

Marlon "Shenanigans" Wright, well don't matter for this fight cause they are both fighting out of Canada but I think Pascal will get the favors due to him being a brotha man. sucks but its true
