Diaz-Marquez II on HBO PPV

Shaefer is also working on a fantastic undercard fight for the July 10 card. He is attempting to get Winky Wright and Sergio Mora, two former junior middleweight champions, in the ring. Although the fight between Diaz and Marquez is not yet a done deal, Shaefer says the two sides are almost there. “It’s very close,” Schaefer said. “We are getting everything signed, but we have agreed on terms.” It was an exciting fight. Should be a great one again. At 135. People forget Diaz gave Marquez all he could handle for the first half of the fight.

Seems they are doing everything possible to ruin Juan Diaz.I really didn't think their first fight was that great and while it was enjoyable to watch,not the kind of bout I would like to see a rematch. A rematch doesn't do anything for Marquez either.

I think Diaz's chin has gone a bit. However, Marquez took a bit of a beating against Floyd.... who knows how this one could go?

Wow, Diaz is not taking it easy at all. He has now fought tough back to back fights against Campbell, Katsidis, Marquez and Malignaggi (x2) without a tune-up or a bit of a breather in between. I am also happy it will be back at 135, Diaz has no business at 140 as far as I'm concerned. With all that said, I think this one will be more one-sided (in favor of JMM) than the first one and I would prefer for both to face different opponents even though the first fight was world-class. Soto-Diaz would have been a nice war, for example.

This fight will be more exciting than Mayweather-Mosley even if it lasts 1 round.

Absolute joke of a fight. JMM should be fighting Valero or defend against Katsidis. Diaz is done as a fighter what a sorry excuse for a fight this would turn out to be. GBP is just as bad as Top Rank when it comes to keeping profit in-house.

To be honest i wouldn't be all that interested in this card even if it was on free HBO.I know who will win the main event and i would rather look at the wall for 36 min then watch Winky vs Mora.I think Diaz is nothing more than a gatekeeper level fighter at 140 and its easy to see he is not the same fighter that put up a great fight against JMM at 135.

Marquez-Diaz II and Katsidis-Mitchell, have them on the same card and get them to fight the winner to fight each other.

Stupid fight if there ever was one. What does it prove? Although if Valero isn't gonna get his act together then I don't see anything out there for JMM. Funeka just lost against Guzman regardless of the weight. And even though Katsidis has a loss to Diaz he looks to be improved since then and that fight is less of a forgone conclusion because of that. And plus, Katsidis is the mandatory.
