Juan Diaz v Juan Manuel Marquez. Who wins and how?

No, I'm really looking forward to it as well. Diaz is hard to go past because of his offensive output. I really don't know how it's going to play out. I think JMM is the greater fighter, but he's getting on these days. Bring it on...

 

Marquez to win a fairly close points win imo. I don't see a stoppage in this fight.

 

The more I think about it, the more I lean to Diaz. JMM is a notoriously slow starter and I think Diaz will win the first 3 rounds right off the bat. JMM will get his way back into the fight until Diaz closes it down the stretch to win on points with a higher work rate. Juan is the naturally bigger guy and he's in his prime right now. I see it about 8 rounds to 4.

 

Cant wait for this one, been looking forward to it for ages.

I'm thinking Marquez will win by decision. He seems to be the better boxer but if Diaz can get inside then it could be a different outcome.

 

I'm a big JMM fan. I think he will scrape through with a close decision. Come on Marquez!

 

Marquez is a much better pure boxer but Diaz will be way to strong and win a wide UD in an absolute barn burner.

 

Im sticking with my initial thoughts that Diaz can penetrate the JMM jab and use his strength and size inside more effectively. JMM is slowing gradually as well which I also factored. Been excited about this fight since it was announced.

 

Diaz on points

 

Juan Diaz is a good young fighter however he usually fights on the inside, Marquez is a masterful boxer and can handle pressure due to his experiences with pacman. I see a knockout win for JMM.

 

Marquez easy.

 

JMM. The guy beat Pacquiao for chrissakes(II)!

 

Good point Leonski - didn't factor that into my opinion!
