I'd love to see Juan Diaz win. It would be a torch passing-esque victory for Diaz and lord knows boxing could really use a big break out performance from one of their up and coming prospects. Specifically against a guy whose at the WORST #3 in the P4P rankings.
EL Dinamita is going to put on a boxing clinic. Watch. If Diaz fights his usual fight, he's going to get countered to death, beaten and bloodied. By the 5th round, his face will be swollen and blue with his eyes wide shut. Marquez UD Diaz
I'd say I am more of a Diaz fan, and would love to see him win this, but JMM has proven he is clearly one of the elite fighters right now.
I'm rooting for Diaz, but it seems like he has a style tailor made for Marquez ... he comes straight forward and throws alot punches ... Marquez is a counter puncher who has good defense ... Diaz' best chance would be to lure Marquez into a brawl --
Diaz has the advantage of being the natural lightweight but the things that p4p list is good for is politics and weeding out the guys who are expendable ... who can go up and down in weight.
On any other night I would. I like Diaz, I always have. But not tonight...for I'm a JMM Nuthugger, or at least I'm sure I'm fan enough to be considered such on this site.
Teddy Atlas doesn't always get it wrong ... and he's just going with the rules of nature. Diaz is younger ... Marquez is older ... Diaz throws alot of punches ... He's a pressure fighter
