    I will watch it.

    Never seen Diaz fight, but I saw Peter fight twice and he looks to have some skills.

    It is great to see two up and coming prospects fighting eachother and I am glad this is televised.

    Now if only Calvin Brock and Leo Nolan could fight...

        This guy Diaz made Juan Carlos Gomez look like a ****ing scrub when he knocked his ass out. On another board everyone and their mothers were praising Juan Carlos Gomez before that fight. After that destruction, I have not heard anything about him.

          Gomez is another one of those guys who never proved himself. People need to stop giving credit to these guys before they prove themselves on the elite level.

            Peter will Ko Diaz early in the fight bringing him closer to the top.

              I don't see how ko'ing a guy named Yanqui means anything.

                I pronounce it "Yankee" Diaz,lol.Yanqui is a big Heavyweight with a big punch,this wont be a walk in the park for Peter by any means.

                  Which is why I'm hesitant to say Peter is gonna be heavyweight champ.

                    I dont really know about Diaz guy much but peter did not do anything to show that he can actually fight on elite level. Wide looping hooks are not very impressive in terms of skill. And getting outclassed in a first round by a guy like Jeremy Williams is plain bad.

                      Neither fighter has impressed me a great deal. Peter reminds me of David Tua on a bad day and Diaz was at the right place at the right time to take Gomez in my opinion.

                      Still, it might very well be worth a look. Peter takes it for me, but does nothing for me.

                      Does anyone in the UK know if Sky are going to show this card? They usually show Mayweather's fights but I haven't seen it listed yet. They also showed Peter's last fight not so long ago, it would make sense
