[JakeNDaBox]

By Jake Donovan - Unbeaten super featherweight prospect Joel Diaz Jr. gets the chance to maintain an active schedule in the early part of 2012, though his latest fight comes with a change of plans.

Diaz Jr. (8-0. 7KO) will next appear in the ring on April 28 in Chester, West ******ia, as he faces rugged veteran Yogli Herrera (22-14, 15KO) in an eight-round co-feature. The show is headlined by unbeaten Ohio-based lightweight Jake Giuriceo, who faces Juan Santiago in an eight-round bout.

Enjoying a breakthrough campaign in 2012 thus far, Diaz Jr. was originally slated to face Georgi Kevlishvili, who was forced to withdraw due to undisclosed personal issues. [Click Here To Read More]

Oh, lets not forget to add the word "rugged" now for a fighter with 14 losses. This goes along with "TBA, "the always dangerous", "upset minded", "tough", "comes to fight" and all the other BS superlatives used to describe a ***ing setup. This crap gets old fast. They need to take a lesson from ShowBox with prospects and unbeatens facing each other.

Did I say "rugged"? Sorry, I meant scrappy =)

Sounds like an interesting prospect vs. veteran match up. Nice to see on a non-televised budget.

Lets also add the word "Veteran" to the scrap heap to describe worn out, used up fighters brought in as setups.
