Juan Diaz vs Brandon Rios, POLL.

[KRITKL]

I thing rios wins this fight. Juan just gets hit to much. His only chance to win would be to try and outbox rios, but i don't think juan has the power or skills needed to keep rios off of him.

gotta go with the obvious and state that diaz's potential has passed, he isn't the same fighter anymore imo..rios will probably stop him, but i would still love to see this fight.

not me lol... rios by murder... way too young and strong for diaz.. you could say diaz lost it after the campbell fight, it took a lot out of him, he was never the same

Juan Diaz would have never had a shot, don't care what version of Baby Bull showed up, that's the style Rios feeds off of. Juan Diaz is a feather fisted aggressive combination puncher, you really think a little guy like Juan Diaz can trade with Rios?

I give him a good shot. Yet, I don't know if he can pull it off, as a result of his mental condition, which stems from his previous losses. He wasn't the same relentless Diaz against Paulie, and JMM in the rematches. Instead he was hesitant, gun shy, and unsure of himself. Nevertheless, this could be his last stand, so I expect him to get up, and bring urrthang he has to the table.

If the pressure fighting machine shows up I give him a pretty good chance. If not then I'd favor Rios, but Diaz can still pull this off.

LMAO at urrathang, green k coming your well when I can green k again.

It's pretty much do or die for Juan Diaz. He don't need a tune up, that'd just be record padding. He got away from what actually made him who he was. He's an aggressive come forward brawler and thats what we love about him and thats why he gave Marquez such a hell of a fight because he had a good chin and relentless pace. It's just Marquez caught him with the perfect shot ala Williams/Sergio 2.

But got ******, tried to be nice like mayweather or pac with his technical boxing and got embarassed by Paulie and Marquez in the rematch. He's a come forward brawler for a reason. He's a grinder that wears you out til the end since he doesn't have much power. If he tries to box, Rios will knock him out. If he brawls he at least stands a chance to break the young fighter and take him into deep water. Theres a chance he could get caught flush like against Marquez, but at least if gives him a chance to win.

If he brawls I think I'd take him in a decision. If he acts ****** trying to be slick he's gonna get KTFO, end of story.

that's a great fight- i got Diaz

I know a lot of people are writing The Baby Bull off but after watching his last fights, even in losses he's done a pretty good job. I'm basing off his last fight with JMM...Diaz did a pretty good job at boxing, although it was not a very good decision to try and outbox JMM he tried and he didn't do so bad, had he done that after the 6th round of their first fight he could have won...Brandon Rios is not even close to being 1/2 as good as JMM so I give Juan Diaz a good shot at Rios...not saying he will win though, but Rios don't impress me.

Just because he isn't nearly as good as Marquez? That isn't even a good measure man, I'd never make an analysis based on that...

rios is what diaz used to be, JMM took diaz's soul. rios would destroy him it really isn't fair, but oh well its mexican on mexican violence the best kind.

would u say he's as good as Katsidis, or better? what about Campell?

exactly.

Rios is clearly a much better fighter than Katsidis. Katsidis ain't all that, I love his attitude, he always comes with it, but he's never been that good, Joel Casamayor's old ass stopped him, Juan Diaz dominated him, Amonsot got his in, list goes on and on. He can be entertaining to watch, but he's always been vulnerable.

However, I'd take a prime Nate Campbell over Rios, still that doesn't mean Juan Diaz does anything with Rios, look at the styles man. Rios is too big, too strong, physically imposing, too good a puncher, so what does Diaz bring?
