Comments Thread For: Joel Diaz: Yildirim Fight Will Not Be Easy For Canelo

[Gandhi]

Laughable.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Joel Diaz, the trainer for super middleweight contender Avni Yildirim, says his pupil is very capable of pulling off a big surprise on February 27 in Miami, Florida. Yildirim will challenge the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, for the WBC, WBA world titles.

We need to be able to bet on whether we'll hear Joel "I'MA STOP IT!" Diaz threatening to stop the fight in the corner, and if so, which round.

I watched an interview with Joel and Anvi if he performs at half the energy that Joel was putting out this will at least be a fight. And that would be fine with me at this point. I do not believe that Anvi is going to pull a Smith and back up to the ropes all night. And so let them both get into a fight is all. For as long as it lasts. That would be good enough for me. Now what will really happen in the ring is the only reason I am watching.

Looks like they realized nobody wants to see this trash. Instead of showing this fight why not just release the best rounds of sparring between Avni and Canelo. In two years Avni should have had a few good moments.

"fight" is nothing more than a set up

I think this will go to the distance with Canelo winning a shut out. Eubank just caught yildirim with a great punch. Even Dirrell couldn't KO Yildirim and he KO'ed truax in 1 round.

Yildirim is tougher than Plant and than any of Plantīs las oponents. Look for his fight vs Dirrell. Just because he is not American does not make him a bum.

True. I keep saying to casuals Yildirim is tougher than Plant too.
