Comments Thread For: Schaefer Eyes Omar Figueroa vs. Juan Diaz in Texas

[torosboxing75]

Omar looked pretty vulnerable in his last fight. I give Baby Bull a shot at taking that '0'.

That's because Nihito Arakawa had that warrior spirit. Juan the baby bull has already shown you can break his spirit. I still think this is a good fight for Omar, he (Omar) won't be in trouble until he faces a strong power puncher like Broner.

^^^^^^^^^^^^This

Diaz needs at least 1 more tune up.

I agree this is to much to soon for Diaz.

yeah no way he's ready unless he just wants to get a big payday then head back into retirement.

like i said,,,

juan diaz vs rocky juarez would sell pretty good in houston,,,,
if diaz wins that would be 3 tune-up wins and should take a big fight,,,

Dont take omar fig next because you lose your done,,

try and land vasquez, burns,, or even gamboa or crawford,,,
get a big fight payday,,, if you lose you can still fight the prospects like omar fig,,,

its simple boxing business moves..

Why fight a prospect, when you could get a big name for more money, you can always use your name vs a prospect, but wont land a big fight if you lose to a guy like omar fig,,,

Juan Diaz is not a top fighter and isn't ranked by a sanctioning body. Why would any titlist risk their belt against him?

Juarez is a SFW, that fight won't get him prepared for Figueroa. He just fought a journeyman, he doesn't need another one. He needs to fight someone who actually has a chance of beating him.

Say bye bye to Juan Diaz. Diaz will get raked over by the much younger, hungrier, determined fighter.

This is an incredible action fight and I think the young blood Omar Figueroa wins this fight.

[Elinmortal]

what! juan diaz is a proven warrior and has fought better opposition figueroa will not run thru him

[Elinmortal]

lets not forget that omars last opponent was fether fisted lets see haw this kid reacts to power.not that diaz is a huge puncher but he can be a problem,he gave jmm a war!

[MDPopescu]

too early for both

Figueroa has to properly heal his hands first...

Juan looked alot better in his 2nd fight back but even he knows he needs another fight or two. Obviously GBP wants the fight sooner rather than later cuz they know Juan will get into better fighting shape with the more fights he gets in. Juan had never been muscular or a puncher but he has skills and hits harder than arakawa. Good fight that really is a toss up.
