I am feeling nervous as hell. The way ive seen Diaz get relentless on opponents is crazy. Damn thats going to ruin my week if JMM looses tomorrow, possibly my month, even year...even life. The guy is on his way out and i want to see alot more of him in big fights.
Any Juan Manuel Marquez fans feeling nervous?

I feel ya mate. I've had the jitters since this fight was announced. Diaz is a pretty damn hard fight for him, for anyone. This is one of those fights that I'm scared to watch in case it all goes horribly wrong and his age is suddenly killing him. At 36 you would think it's going to happen soon, I just don't want it to happen yet!
Anyway, Diaz is a really hard opponent to choose. Big, quick, stamina to burn, strong....

JM Marquez is a great fighter, probably the best-skilled mexicano of them all. His counter-punching ability is phenomenal and believe it or not, I rate him above Chavez, Barrera, or Morales. I think only Salvador Sanchez and Ricardo Lopez have top skillz for a Mexicano. Marquez joins this group. He beat Casamajor, who had 400 + fights in his career. Blah Blah BlahComment

I am not nervous for JMM at all. I try to be as honest about these things as I can even when I like a fighter. I honestly think Marquez will look amazing against someone who throws a million light punches a round and cant take it to the body. I will only be nervous if he doesnt stop Diaz because of where the fight is. If Diaz doesnt get stopped I expect Marquez to get robbed.Comment

Eh, a little. As a Marquez fan, you don't really like the idea of your old, rugged, durable Champion, fighting a guy like Diaz who's 10 years younger, much bigger, and much stronger at the weight. But that's the nature of this business.
But I'm confident that Marquez will adapt and overcome yet again tomorrow night, once again establishing himself as the man in the Lightweight Division.Comment
