Julio Diaz isn't to be overlooked

[miniq]

40 wins 29 KO's

Looks in great shape

Apparently before training he was walking around at 158 - which is good

Joel Diaz says 143 should be easy to make for Julio (will rehydrate up to 153 probaly, same as Khan)

Joel Diaz predicated Garcia KO and bieng Bradley's trainer must have seen alot of Amir Khan and really likes to analyse the guys he is fighting


Khan will be ready as usual - might just walk over a UD (as is the case alot of the time with Khan's style)


Khan knows he cannot lose

Julio said this is his last attempt - he is going to do whatever he possibly can to get the W.


Maybe Khan gets careless in later rounds wanting to impress the homecrowd after winning all the first rounds with ease?

Other things to look out for: Diaz getting cut.

Been stopped 5 Times

Khan will DESTROY HIM! Either by dominating Decision or TKO Stoppage...TOO FAST!

I know he has little chance, but I am still pulling for my cousin TheKid Diaz!!

Its funny really, no matter what scrub Khan fights hes never to be ruled out.

He's better than Molina and has fighting bigger guys as of late. I expect Khan by decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if Khan got ktfo. I thought Khan would decision Garcia and we all say what happened there. I'd be surprised if Khan stopped Diaz even though he doesn't have that great of a chin himself. I expect Khan to try and box and fight smart.

Diaz has power and anything can happen but I don't see it, Khan stops him or UD's him. I am not a real Khan fan at all but chin and mental lapses aside, from a skill perspective, there are not many boxers who have Khan's ability. In fact, maybe 3-4 others at best. If Khan continues to avoid going to war and using what Virgil taught him he can continue to win. He just cannot let his heart take over and get ****** into those punch trading wars. I mean realistically the only way to truly beat Khan is to KO him, there really isn't anyone at 140 who is outboxing him. I would like to see Khan/JMM, Khan/Bradley and def Khan/Garcia 2.

I agree he beat Shawn Porter on the last fight

You got to hand it to Khan though. For such a vulnerable fighter he has beaten some good names. Barrera, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah and (arguably) Peterson. Not a bad little resume even if some of them were past their best.

Not at all. There's a reason Khan had the hype behind him before Peterson. He has some good wins.

If Hunter teaches him some real discipline and skills, Khan can still be a very good fighter.

This sums up my childhood perfectly.
