I dont see Khan ever getting pinned down. I got Khan by UD. Diaz tires badly in the later rounds, I think Khan will steal those and make Diaz's wrecklesness and use it against him.
I think it would be a real close fight which could go either way imo. If Khan can keep Diaz at bay with his speed he could take it but if Diaz throws Khan off his gameplan with pressure then he wins.
Diaz needs to move down, not up. But if he did, he would apply a hell of a lot more effective pressure than Kotelnik tried last night. Not sure if he has enough power to stop Khan, but I think he'd win a UD.
diaz aggression would beat Khans speed..
Khan fights afraid nowaday, he's just too "safety minded".. that hook by prescott is still in his mind..
with that said, i think Diaz would bulldozed his way on Khan and Khan would crumble with the pressure..
Khan doesn't throw hard enough? I'm sorry but Khan throws plenty hard enough to hurt Diaz. When Khan did catch Kotelnik with his guard down, he hurt him a couple of times. Ok, he may not be a one punch KO artist, but he has enough power to put almost any boxer on their arse, or stop them through accumulative punches. He certainly has even, if not more power than Diaz.
Khan's got some decent power but Diaz has already been in there with some harder punchers than Khan.
Khan would need to throw combinations constantly to keep Diaz from smothering him. which i dont think he can do for a full 12 rounds.
If Diaz does get on the inside of Khan....he does not fight well of his back foot.
With all that said i would be rooting for Khan in this fight because i hate Diaz. Just dont think Khan has what it takes though.
As much as i hate him...Juan Diaz wins. Khan doesnt throw hard enough for Diaz to respect his punches and Diaz is just the smarter boxer overall.
