Comments Thread For: Julio Diaz Feels Thurman Fight is Well Worth The Risk

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LOS ANGELES --- Former two-time world champion Julio Diaz has been counted out a number of times in his career, but keeps coming back to surprise the boxing world.

The 15-year veteran hasn't had much luck on the scorecards in his past three fights, though many ringside observers would argue about those decisions, but at 34 years old Diaz continues to battle the best young fighters the 147-pound division has to offer.

Diaz makes a great point about staying at lightweight for too long, Corrales and Castillo did the same thing.

Thurman too fast,strong and big, people forget he used to fight at jr middle

[Mk12345]

if thurman stops diaz then he the man.

if he stops him before 6th then he would be making a statement.

I fancy this going the distance though.

I actually think he's a better fighter at 154, he has more power and stamina up at junior middle.

Sadly Thurman won't even get a small ounce of credit if he wins it's a shame others don't have the courage to step up to the plate like Diaz, props to him.

Thurman stops Diaz in 5

I doubt that. He only fought weak opposition at 154.
I think he looked pretty impressive against Soto Karass, a tough strong dude who always comes to fight.

[FrankieBruno]

So far neither Porter or Khan looked good against Diaz

He's one of those boxers who can just make you look bad

Although i think he's had one two many beatings, Thurmann should knock him out

[-MEGA-]

I think they should have gave diaz a malignaggi or Judah fight...
