Not really. It can go to a decision.

Jo Jo looks like he's aged 5 years since his last fight.

I always ride with my fellow dominicans, but besides that, Fortuna got serious power and very awkward style. Plus this is Diaz first fight at 135. First fight at new weight always difficult

Diaz missed weight in his last bout, which could mean that his body is ready to move up. Fortuna is also a former 130lber himself. Fortuna is awkward, but he won't have the southpaw advantage and he has a tendency to get into sloppy exchanges because he believes in his power. He needs to keep it long range against JoJo.

This is a fight worth going to. I expect JoJo to be on his A game tomorrow. I like both boxers but I want JoJo to win. Plus, my girl Seniesa is fighting on that card. She's a must-see. The only two fights I'm watching out for tomorrow. Good card by GBP.

The Zepeda/Tanajara match-up is good too. A pretty good card all-around.

Honestly no idea who will win this one. I was a fan of diaz before he missed weight for his last fight but I think this is a tough style matchup for him. Barring a cut it will go to decision.

J-Lo into boxing now?

JoJo never been known for his power. If they start exchanging, Fortuna deft has the advantage there. I think he's going try to maul JoJo from the opening round.

Jojo let me down missing weight last time around but this is a tough fight but i think he should be able to get a decision. Really looking forward to this fight

They are both former 126 lbers so I don't think there is much of a size difference but Fortuna is also a southpaw so JoJo's only advantage is he puts together more combinations. I can see this being an ugly fight at times with headbutts and holding but I think JoJo can outwork him if his chin can hold up he went toe to toe with Rojas and that Tajik Rakhimov so I'm pretty sure it will.
