Comments Thread For: Khan-Diaz Heads To The Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Julio Diaz is confident he can score an upset win when he takes on Amir Khan on the Brit's UK comeback on April 27. Khan's return fight has been confirmed for Sheffield's 12,000-capacity Motorpoint Arena on April 27.

"There are a lot weaknesses," Diaz told the Sun. "He can't take a punch and when he gets overwhelmed he tends to panic too much.

"I aim to make it a brawl. I won't be too technical or too pretty but it will be a real fight."

I have this strange theory that it isn't that Khan has a weak chin, its just that he's simply not used to getting hit on the chin and doesn't know how to react well to a chin shot.

only fight i'm set on seeing this day is martinez/murray. this fight will obviously not get in the way of that, so it's good to hear i'll be able to catch this one. hopefully the ny card gbp is doing ends before martinez's fight starts. if not, i'll just have to catch them afterwards.
as for khan/diaz, i missed porter/diaz so i'm not sure how much diaz has left, but khan should have no problem getting the W in this one. it should be a pretty good fight. khan's usually in good fights, so i'm hoping this is another one.

kind of a useless fight. maybe Khan needs another tune up, I don't know.

I'm sick of Golden Boy constantly having fights on nights where fights are already scheduled. **** blockers

he cant just fight twice a year thats not enough he should fight again in august then december if he does fight twice a year other boxers who are not on his level will catch up fast,i still think he could beat anyone in the 140 pound division but it looks like hes not dedicated anymore and is just looking for a few more paydays before he retires.

**** fight

I'd be surprised if Khan fills the place. His fan base in the UK isn't as large as people think.

I guess Sky and GB will push it down our throats, mind

Lol before 2012 he had fought 3 times a year every year. You have to remember that after the peterson robbery, it took a while before the rematch was made and then he failed his drug test.
