Juan Diaz's Camp Target a Ricky Hatton Blockbuster

[whitealltrac]

My God!!

Dunno what to say about this fight because I cant stand either one!
I only wish that at the end of the fight they will both announce retirement!

I'm cool bro, I just hate it when people throw around the word "overrated" after a close fight.It's like me saying Cotto is overrated because he had a close fight with Clottey.Clottey just happens to be one of those boxers that would give problems to just about anyone.

Overrated, sucks, same difference.Just say you don't like his style, not that he is overrated.What is an overrated style to you might be a pleasing style to someone else.Just like you might like Paulies style and someon might not.Doesn't mean they are overrated.

And guess what, that straight forward style got him 3 belts something not even some of the elites have ever accomplished.

I agree , I wasnt trying to diss him just voice my opinion ..I understand where your coming from..

Diaz crushed him with power shots all night..

magic man had a magic elbow in the 6th to keep him in the fight. The 12th and final championship round was dominated by heart. JUAN Bullied his ass Diaz with a serious cut... All heart..

115-113 was the right score and even if the rounds went 6-6 Diaz had him staggered with real power shots, Power shots are worth much more than jabs and magic man also missed him over 200 more times...

All you Paulie fans are happy he came back and fought a great fight which I am glad he did to but he did not win that fight at all...

Jstraightright

Crushed him with power shots all night?? - #1 Diaz doesn't have power.

#2 Diaz had NO CLUE how to cut off even the SMALL ring, so according to the rules, Paulie gets the nod for "Ring Generalship" - his quick footwork and handspeed advantage were clearly giving Diaz trouble for nearly every round.

#3 Diaz was outworked in nearly every single round, landing only HALF as many jabs as he got hit with over the entire fight. Diaz was clearly outpointed.

#4 I am not even a fan of Paulie - but 118-110 - is a screw job, that adds up to Diaz actualy WINNING 10 Rounds out of 12, all while being outworked and outlanded and schooled in footwork and handspeed are you friggin' kidding me?!!

Stevie Wonder should get his license to judge fights in Texas, because obviously vision is not a requirement for the job in Texas...

He lost and dint admit it or gave Paulie his props.

What makes you even think he thought he lost? He thought he won it. It was a really close fight, and depending on whether you like the cleaner, clearer punches or the guy who fights his game plan better it was a clear you could have given it to either guy or just had it a draw. Neither fighter won by more than a round, or two at most. I had it a draw based on Diaz winning the last round.

Now why would he think he should admit to losing a fight he was completely sure he had won?

He already put it on Katsidis, and I don't think Juan needs to be in Texas to beat him again lol. But yeah, if either fighter takes another L, they could always fight again.

Oh yeah, Diaz had Kats' number that night for sure. However, despite having watched it loads of times, I still have it a draw - and I like both guys, so no bias! Diaz easily nabbed the first half of the fight for himself, but Kats piled it on strong in the latter half. I don't agree with Hamada giving him 115-113, but a draw isn't too unreasonable IMO.

Were they to fight again, I'm sure it'd be another good fight. Kats has improved a lot since last year (I watched the Chavez fight again, and he was actually letting his hands go in anger for the first time since Casamayor), and could possibly beat him this time considering Diaz hasn't looked amazing in his last 4 fights... and has been cut badly in 3 of those.

That is the reason everyone uses to justify this was a robbery. Throwing jabs all night does not win you close fights.
