Joel Casamayor-Juan Diaz in The Works

[Kball15]

Want to see this fight. Hopefully its in regular HBO, not PPV.

It will DEFINETLY be on Reg HBO. This would sell under 100k buys if it was on PPV. People Know Casa, but they dont like watching him.

Diaz has star potential but people dont know him yet AND he's coming off a loss.

Garunteed FREE

I'm convinced, Diaz is a tune up for Casamayor-De Jesus

Absolutely. Now that Diaz has lost there is no way you can sell this on PPV, at least not as the main event.

No, Juan Diaz aint getting KOd the way Katsidis did. Because Nate Campbell put some hard shots on him and busted him up and couldn't KO him. Casamayor doesn't work at the rate Campbell does so it's likely Diaz will just wear Casamayor out.

Freitas hits way harder and couldnt put Diaz away... no way Casamayor KOs him

According to Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, Juan Diaz's next fight will probably come against WBO-interim lightweight champion Joel Casamayor. [details]

diaz doesn't have a mandate to fight casamayor anymore. looks like campbell will become the odd man out.

This ****s up Amir Khan's chances of a shot until 2009.

Well Campbell needs someone to face...

[Steak]

well this kind of sucks for Campbell, but if Diaz wins then he beat the guy who beat Casamayor...

Still, this is not a bad fight whatsoever. I like it a lot!

and who will Campbell fight...? well...last time I heard, Amir Khan became WBO mandatory...Campbell holds the WBO belt.

Amir Khan vs Nate Campbell and Juan Diaz vs Casamayor on one big card I say!

At ringside after the fight, promoter Frank Warren added, "This was a good performance from Amir and he deserves his position as WBO mandatory. The situation at lightweight may see Nate Campbell face interim champion Joel Casamayor first and we will have to work around that. If that fight does not happen then I am happy to slip Khan in and face Campbell. He will be back in the ring in June and then we can have a clearer position of timings for his assault on the lightweight title."

[MELLY-MEL...]

not thinking it it is the smartest thing for juan after a loss to take a fight with casa!

Nate Campbell could not KO Diaz with one eye and a gash over the eye lid. Casamayor wont be able to either. No way he can outbox a guy who will be chasing him all 36 minutes. Katsidis was winning every round except the ones he got knocked down in and that was due to poor defense. Juan Diaz has a great defense so he will be fine

Diaz doesnt deserve this fight obviously. He will get KOd by Casamayor. Still since Campell is getting old this is a pretty lousy thing to do to him. The Juan Diaz emo bunch must be thrilled though.
