PBF is backing up zab judah to be on the undercard of his mega fight against juan manuel marquez...Looks like golden boy is pushing for juan diaz as the other undercard reports have circulated following mali-alvarado fight was called off that we may actually see Malinaggi-Diaz showdown on July
Alvarado apparently suffered a very serious elbow injury and it was called off (Mali-Alvarado). I thought Matthew Hatton-Zab Judah was a done deal.
All I know is that this fight will not end with a KO or a TKO. Paulie surely can't hurt Diaz, and Paulie has a sturdy enough chin and good enough footwork to get awat from Diaz.
That would be awesome if that fight happened. I like when the entire event is worth it, not just one fight. Diaz would kick Malignaggi's ass.
This fight could go either way, but I can see Diaz pressuring Paulie all night enough for the victory.
Both will be a bit cautious after stoppage losses, but I'd expect Paulie to be worse than Diaz - because he was dominated, beaten up and stopped..... whereas Diaz was worn down and KO'd by a pretty sick punch in a competitive fight. Diaz wide UD or late stoppage.
Juan Diaz can hurt feather fisted Paulie and can score a KO from round 4 to 6 but if it go to the distance UD for JD.
