With less than a week for this Lightweight Championship fight who do you all have?
I like both fights but i lean towards Juan Diaz is a hard decision. I think he will win 8 rounds to 4 on the scorecards. 7-5 Will not surprise me. I think Juan Diaz will win the early and late rounds with his combinations, hand speed, and strength. I think Marquez will settle down and win middle rounds but Juan Diaz will turn it back up late to close the show.
Get your 5K ready, my dude. Marquez is going to counter Juan all night. If Juan is smart, he should box alot more than usual or he will get outboxed and schooled. Marquez SD 12 Diaz.
I want Marquez to win but I'm completely against this fight.
I'm taking Diaz by decision. Can't count Marquez out because he is a technician through and through, but I gotta go with young blood here. I think Diaz will just outwork him early and will hang on late...the jab will be a nice weapon for Juan.
This is going to be a very good, competitive fight. I'm going for Marquez and not just because I'm a confessed fan, but I think that the pressure style of Diaz is going to work well for his counter shots. I suppose it'll come down to how quick Diaz can get to the inside. Diaz will certainly need to avoid getting tagged on the way in too much if he wants a hope. Diaz is a tough son-of-a-bitch though and even if he is getting tagged, he'll get inside and put some serious pressure on Marquez.
Marquez UD, but a good fight.
I think Juan Diaz is gonna try to bully Marquez and will be getting TAGGED clean all night!..I see a late stoppage for my boy JMM..cuz his precise counter punching ability is a step above anything Diaz has seen yet!
JMM T/KO
