Comments Thread For: Joseph Diaz Jr. Aims To Follow The Script of De La Hoya

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joseph Diaz Jr.'s Olympic dream is straightforward: Make a big impression in the boxing ring, turn professional and then buy his unemployed parents a new house.

It's a lot of pressure to carry on not-so-broad bantamweight shoulders, but the Californian teenager is desperate to pay back his mother and father who in spite of their plight, sacrificed much to help get their son to London.

Diaz' mother, who lost her job as a secretary and only gets part-time work from time to time, sold t-shirts, washed cars and raised money through table tennis tournaments to make sure she, her husband and daughter could be with Joseph, 19, in London.

I went to the boxing on Saturday night and sat with Team USA (poor secruity). Spent an hour with Diaz jr and he's such a cool guy, had a lot of time for me and my friends, talking about turning pro etc. Although im British, im going to be rooting for this kid today, very hard draw against the cuban world no.1.
