Diaz better forget about JMM, because he's get that ass spanked again. And I don't blame Schaefer for sticking up for his fighter even though I think he is trying to give everybody the false claim that Pauile didn't get ripped off.Comment

Well at least he was being honest, and he is right in saying people shouldn't take stabs at Diaz about it, but I don't like the fact of him saying "Juan won the fight, only controversy was the wide margin" the wide margin basically means that they were never giving him a chance in the first place... Paulie deserves a rematch to settle it.
Just like with Floyd vs Castillo, the margin was too wide in Floyd's favor... and yeah Castillo started late so you could make a case for him edging it, but at the end of the day it was close and some people thought Castillo won... and I thought both the HBO and judges had it way too wide for either fighter, but Floyd gave him a rematch to settle it (cause he was apparently injured, whatever this is about Juan and Paulie not Floyd, this is just an example) which is what Juan should do... if he gives him a rematch and wins it decisively like Floyd did then it would have settled it and he would have redeemed whatever questions there are.Comment
