By Rick Reeno - Unless we get some unforeseen circumstance, later tonight the lightweight division should be one title away from being completely unified. The Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill., will host a lightweight unification showdown between WBA/WBO champion Juan Diaz (32-0, 16 KOs) of Houston, Texas and IBF champion Julio Diaz (34-3, 25 KOs) of Coachella, California.
The winner will be the holder of more recognized titles than any other fighter in the sport. How’s about that for status. But, that status will be short-lived, as unbeaten super middleweights champions Joe Calzaghe (WBO) and Mikkel Kessler (WBC/WBA) will collide in a unification bout on Nov. 3 in Wales.
