The American professional boxer Chad Dawson, who is the former WBC, IBF & IBO Light Heavyweight Champion, is going to take on Romanian/Canadian professional boxer, Adrian Diaconu in their upcoming 12-round match-up.
The two Light Heavyweight contenders will be face to face on the undercard of the May 21, 2011 Dynasty II: Pascal vs. Hopkins rematch at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The number 4 Light Heavyweight contender of Ring Magazine, Dawson is very determined to win this crown. He his being trained under the useful guidelines of his new Hall of Fame trainer, Emanuel Steward at the Kronk Boxing Gym.
It would be more than a non-title clash for both Light Heavyweights. The victorious will stay to fight the winner of the Pascal vs. Hopkins bout in an effort to claim the championship.
Famous trainer Steward says Dawson is blessed with the real championship spirit and he is currently trying to fix his technical errors in his style for perfection.
Steward said, “He’s unbelievable; phenomenal balance. He goes in and out and changes directions very, very well. He’s a terrific positional fighter. A lot of guys are always out of position, but Chad is sensational at getting in the right position to punch.
He’s a natural athlete with a track background. A lot of boxers are that way, very gifted athletes.”
As far as Dawson’s weaknesses are concerned, Steward said, “He fights closer than he should. We’re working on a problem where he’s dipping down too low. His hero was Pernell Whitaker, who used to like dipping down and ducking and dodging in close. This is
something that’s not good for Chad Dawson to be doing. I like my tall fighters to fight tall.”
According to many boxing experts, Dawson is the favourite contender of this championship. Huge crowd support will be available to him from the Romanian fans in Montreal.
Dawson’s conditioning coach Axel Murillo, who has gained a lot of recognition from all around the world is working hard to keep the champion active for the most of the day.
Hopefully, the fight would be interesting and competitive one between the two champions.
