    Diaz was looking great before JMM got serious on his ass.

    I'm going with Diaz.

    Who you got?

    Diaz by a one side beating in the end. Paulie will do ok for a couple rounds and thats it, i dont think he has anything left.

    Can't see Malignaggi winning this one. His bravest effort was surviving Cotto and his best performance was in the first fight against N'Dou.

    Diaz is the worst match up for him. The Magic man simply disappear under pressure.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Malignaggi. Even though the Dredlocks thing about made me hate him, I still have a soft spot in my heart for him so I'm going to root for him and cheear for him in this one.

    I cant see Pauly leaving with a victory, unless that TKO from JMM has scared Diaz.

    JMM was serious from the very beginning only and idiot would let someone beat him up.

    Diaz will outwork him and stop him late. Paulie can't seem to adjust when fighting a determined opponent and this is probably linked to his lack of power, therefore opponents dont really have to respect him in the sense that he doesent have a equaliser to stop opponents late. Still always risky when boxing someone as skillfull as Paulie. Remember Paulie was only a 2-1 underdog against Hatton, he's a decent enough boxer. Good fight after a loss for Diaz.
