That is the truth. Juan Diaz can bring in thousands of people into an NBA sized arena and you all see on TV just how great the crowds are. If Paul Malignaggi had the same type of draw power in his hometown he wouldnt have had to take this fight that was against him from the start and he wouldnt have to be an opponent in another future fight.

Even if Malignaggi got the decision Juan Diaz would still bring the crowd to houston against a bum because he gives the fan's their monies worth.

Well done you've told everyone what they already know...

Malignaggi got robbed by the way.

yes...i would imagine most are aware of this..are you trying to make another point?

Fuck Texas.

I seen the fight live and 3 times twice with hbo commentary and once muted. 7-5 either way or a draw is a fair fight. No way in hell this was a robbery. Especially when Diaz was never hurt on the ground.

So you're admitting the fight being in Texas was a big factor in Diaz getting the nod?

LOL, what a ridiculous argument. So what? Because he isn't a draw he deserves to get robbed? One of the most ******ed threads I have read on here in a while.

Juan Diaz landed more punches in 6 rounds, period. That's all you really need to know. He got the fight based on his 53% edge in power punches.
