    Whenever you dominate a fight youre doing a good job. You really think Chad is thinking about entertaining people when he's in the ring, a place where you just might not come out the same as you went in? Once you understand what's going on in a fight it makes it more enjoyable regardless of any knockdowns, or KO's. Ask yourself why Diaconu waited to the last round or so to put up a somewhat of a feverish attempt at one point. Diaconu wasnt willing because of what he was receiving from Chad, the speed and reflexes were just too much. Its mental and Diaconu wasnt willing to walk through fire to try and get the victory basically. No different from Floyd against Shane, after youve been outsped and countered from punches you didnt see, you have a decision to make mentally whether youre willing to do whatever it takes to try to win and both Mosley and Diaconu basically said Im not willing. So basically Chad took Diaconu's heart away from him, but if you dont see boxing on those levels there will be many a fight that will seem boring to you.

      That's what Steward was promising. What change did anyone see?
      HE Couldn't deliver.

        This fight was set up so he could impress as a CHANGED fighter with a new trainer. Neither occurred.

            We literally highlighted the same part. What a dumb remark by that guy.

              Lol, they box to provide for themselves and their family. Get a clue. Chad is trying to win the fight as dominant as possible and he did, helps to have a better dancing partner also.

                Say what?
                Chad did try to dominant during the early part. He gave up.
                Manny had to "LIE" to him that he was losing to motivate his arse.
                What does that say?

                  Diaconu is a puncher and that's what Dawson was weary of.

                    If you want to provide for your family, it's in your best interest to be entertaining. Those are the type of fighters that get fights. If Chad loses out on the Hopkins fight and payday, you know why it will be? Because he doesn't have any fans and doesn't captivate the audience since he is not entertaining. Great fighter, I will watch all of his fights and support him throughout, but he is doing a disservice to himself and his family by fighting so timidly and dully.
