Pascal & Diaconu Turf War Tonight

Things got a little heated at the weigh in ahead of tonight’s turf war between WBC Light Heavyweight titlist Adrian ‘The Shark’ Diaconu (26-0) and challenger Jean Pascal (22-1).

I tipped Pascal for the top years back after seeing him outpoint Kingsley Ikeke and fully expected him to upset Carl Froch in one of 2008′s fights of the year, a wild and wonderful donneybrook fought in Froch’s hometown. Despite coming out on the wrong end of a decision in that one, I’m sticking with Pascal to pull off a big win tonight in his second title tilt, this time on his own (and Diaconu’s) patch.  

Bookmakers have Pascal as the underdog going in, I’d urge you to take those odds, he should have too much variety and athleticism for his squat and more orthodox opponent, earning him local bragging rights and saving a bit of face for yours truly in the process!!
