I hope Pac has learned from JMM how to rise up quickly after a kd and how to remain competitive after getting multiple kds in 1 rd.:hi:
This is a 50/50 fight but I'm leaning towards JMM winning. I don't believe for a second that Diaz is gonna get a schooling in here like most people think. He's gonna bring it and will more than trouble JMM. Looking at their styles and attributes, I believe Diaz has more than enough in him to greatly trouble JMM. JMM wins in a very tough fight. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Diaz wins.
JMM by UD but if Diaz is to win, he'll do it by KO or TKO w/c is the logical way he can win the fight...
It's youth vs. experience but I think JMM will counter Diaz silly to be honest. Diaz likes to lead and pressure but he just doesn't have the power to floor JMM like PAC did. Nothing from his last fight would indicate that JMM is slowing down so I think he takes this one comfortably 8-4 or 9-3.
this is not even a match. juan diaz is a good volume puncher. jmm is a class A tactician. anything juan can throw, jmm can counter. jmm has met fighters like juan diaz, maybe just a bit better but juan has never even come close to facing anyone with jmm's skill. this is not a 50-50 fight. jmm will frustrate diaz with counters all day. if juan's mind isnt tough, he'll get stupid and will be tko'd middle to late rounds. if he keeps his focus he'll survive and lose a wide decision. nothing else
JMM will counter him silly.... JMM TKO 8, or probably even UD12 if JD got lucky... whatever JD can dish, JMM would have answer.. JMM's tactics would surely work against Juan Diaz who, despite throwing several punches per round, does not have enough power to intimidate Dinamita
Don't put too much stock in this photo.. a lot of fighters appear bigger than others with clothes on like that... but by fight time things can look drastically different in the ring.
