If this Diaz was to show up against Marquez he'd give him tons of trouble, the way he looked he give any lightweight trouble.

I was going to make a thread but found this thread first. I don't know how anyone could say the fight was borring or lacking. He put on a clinic and threw punchs; where as some top boxers belive boxing is only throwing 2-3 punchs a round and staying away from the fighter. Diaz was almost perfect and threw back the hand of time as he looked like he was in his prime he showed great skill and fresh legs for a fighter that has been up and down in his career more up then down and he was very active or active enough to makes a one sided match a great display of boxing talent.

And though Trejo was very limited he never stoped trying to win and he has wins over Cruz and went 12 rounds with Anthony Peterson. So how this article can talk **** about a great performance by Julio Diaz is beyond me.

By Jake Donovan - There was no "Thriller" in the house on this Halloween evening, as former lightweight titlist Julio "The Kidd" Diaz instead scared all of the drama out of his virtual shutout over Fernando Trejo in the main event at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Both bouts aired live on Telefutura and were presented by Top Rank Inc.

Diaz set the tone early for how the fight would play. The former lightweight champion worked behind his jab, often following up with a straight right hand or a left uppercut. Trejo kept a safe distance to minimize the impact of Diaz' punches, though the strategy meant sacrificing his own offense, which for the most part was limited to throwing a short jab at a long target.

Trejo managed to close the gap between the two in the second round, working his way inside while attempting to work the body. Diaz adjusted, fighting off of his back foot and often flipping between southpaw and conventional stance. It was more of the same in the third, with Diaz sticking and moving while Trejo was unsuccessful in his efforts to cut off the ring. [details]
