Sorry. I was super pumped for the 1st fight and even bought my parents tickets to the first fight because I couldn't make it. It was a great fight and probably the best money I've ever spent on them.
The Malignaggi losses are what really bring this fight down. No disrespect to Paulie, but after him seeing shut-out and stopped by Amir Khan, you only wonder what he would have done to Juan Diaz. He's fallen that far off. Beaten up by Nate Campbell, knocked out by Marquez, outboxed twice by Paulie. I'm not saying he's shot. But he's clearly not what we were all thinking he could be.
And Marquez, shutout by Mayweather (hey, it happens), but at his advanced age you wonder not only what he has left, but where exactly he's going to go after this fight win or lose. He's not going to beat any of the top guys at 140. 135 is still the option but really? Who else is there at 135?
When Diaz and Marquez fought their asses off the 1st time it was to see who would go on to a major PPV fight and to see if Marquez would continue with the torch or Diaz would take the torch for J.M.M. The torch isn't there anymore for either of them unfortunently.
