by T.K. Stewart - Juan Diaz is about as happy and as good-natured a person as you will meet in the sport of boxing. Words such as cordial, polite and humble are often used to describe him. To say that it takes a lot for the kid to get worked up would be an understatement.
So you can probably understand if Juan Diaz is becoming a bit perturbed. He's been listening to Paulie Malignaggi's rants and raves for going on two months now - and he's getting tired of it.
“Since that fight there's been so much controversy,” said Diaz. “There's just been so much stuff, people talking about that I lost, other people talking about that I won. But that's just boxing, that's the way it is.”
Of course, Paulie Malignaggi's standpoint is that he was held up in broad daylight by three three blind mice, the entire state of Texas and everybody and everyone that had anything to do with Juan Diaz' side of the room. Brooklyn's favorite-son is of the mindset that he was the victim of a vast conspiracy perpetrated on many levels by many different people who wanted nothing more than to stack the deck against him and see him lose when he faced Diaz in Houston back on Aug. 22.
