Julio Or Juan?

Daredevil6918y ago

This is a matchup of two lightweight title holders. In a 12-round unification title showdown of the two best 135-pounders, Juan Diaz (32-0, 16 KOs) meets Julio Diaz (34-3, 25 KOs).

julio in a great action packed fight julio might get lit up couple times by the barge of punches im sure juan wil rain on him but in the end itll be julios harder more precise punches that get him a KO when the baby bull charges in im hopen itll be an uppercut cuz i can see how juan is open for them and ive seen julio rip some nasty ones

18y ago

Julio looks a lot bigger than Juan in that pic... Yeah, he is taller then Juan. But Julio doesn't always fight tall and Juan some how always make the other guy fight his fight. I can't wait for this fight.

18y ago

I voted Julio, but Juan is very game and in reality this fight imo can go either way. I dont see either guy really dominating the other, after all Julio is still a young fighter, and can hang with the young gun in Juan. Who ever win this is the top lightweight.

18y ago

Juan in dominating fashion.

I reallt haven´t seen Julio, but if Juan fights like he fought against Freitas, then i really don´t see Juan losing. I think Juan is an amazing fighter and to beat him its going to be really hard. This is a fight im really expecting to watch, im sure its going to be great. I'm predicting that their fight would be more exciting that those that are being talked about. Only that the other fights have bigger names than these two. These two guys are real fighters.

This thread needs a poll... Thanks for the idea man.. Poll already made. I go for Julio Diaz by decision

About time......I'm a big Julio fan. But Juan man, I thought Acelino was going to take him apart. I ate my words that night. All in all, I'd prefer a Julio win but I have to say Juan is a beast at 135 and I don't see anyone beating him. (never thought I'd say that) If Julio would just be able to stick to his plan using his reach advantage and would work on his jab very well then he would be able to take this one.
