    Just read on another site the rematch is on for Dec, 12th on HBO. The fight will be at an agreed catchweight of 139 pounds and a 20 foot ring. Ortiz will will be on the undercard and Martinez too.

    Thoughts?

    Diaz didn't look good that night. Probably a combination of styles and the weight. I can't see him doing any better with Paulie a little closer to his weight. Maybe it was an off night, but i think the straight boxing really hurt him. Truthfully, I thought the first fight was boring and fell asleep the first time I watched it.

    Diaz by KO :D
    Just kidding Malinaggi knows what to do where as Diaz won't have made any improvments at that weight. It just needs to be held somewhere neutral.

    Malignaggi also requested that Van Hoy be one of the judges.

    Sounds like it could turn out to be a good card. I don't care how much **** people talk, I like Paulie. He made me a fan when he fought Cotto. I'll be rooting for him.
