Official thread for all of your predictions and input on this fight

My Official Prediction is Juan Diaz tko 9.

[MELLY-MEL...]

i am gonna go with juan ud 12. not sure why, but i feel campbell is gonna be tough, and give diaz problems!

[SkillspayBills]

Juan 117-111. Nate is pretty tough and he won't quit. I also seem him giving Juan plenty of problems but Juan WILL come out victorious.

Dias split decision. I think Nate is gonna come out strong because he's ina desperate postion. But I also think that the Baby Bull's defense and output will seal the deal for him.

[My Name Is...]

I say Juan by 10th round TKO. To many shots from Juan and Nate will go out on his feet.

Diaz by TKO.. Nate will quit just like the Baby Bulls last two opponents!

I think Nate is going to pull this one out... i'm probably the only guy on this board not impressed with diaz and I think Campbell will come out with a decision victory. I'd bet but i have no cash ;-)

I'll second that. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how Diaz is the next Roberto Duran. He doesn't fight a very cerebral fight when he throws a lot of punches. Busy when you mix up your attack is one thing, but busy when you're fighting off your front foot and not bringing your hands back fast enough is bad when you're in with a counter puncher.

Campbell has the power, the speed, the movement, everything to beat Diaz. Diaz hasn't been in tough as of late and it's easy to showcase new wrinkles when your opponents have been a shopworn Julio Diaz and a retired Freitas. Campbell's mindset has been much hungrier having to prove every performance that he is worthy of a title shot. On that note, I favor Campbell with intangibles.

I think this will be a case of a guy having a style that isn't good for the other. Diaz has been fighting guys with slow feet and that make them fight that fight. What happens when Diaz has to adjust, something no one's made him do yet?

Unless Campbell doesn't show up to fight, which he has done in the past but at lower, unhealthier weights, I think he pulls off the upset. Then again, I've been wrong before and maybe this will be a learning experience (Like when I picked Tito and Tarver over Hopkins).

I second that.
