    Marquez is the better fighter in all departments. I like diaz, great offensive fighter but his lack of defense at times will bring him undone in rounds. Marquez to win a close UD.

    To be honest Pac and Diaz aren't that similar. Once Diaz works inside he likes to stay there Pac applies pressure but moves in and out. Perfect in a way for the counterpunching style of JMM.

    JMM on points like 116-112...put a small wager on a very late KO just coz the odds were so good.

    This highlight clip against Katsidis shows part of why Diaz is one of my favourite fighters in boxing right now. Not neccessarily a top p4p fighter, but still a great young talent, with heaps of potential, and a really exciting style.

    I love the way he moves on the inside. Watch him turn Katsidis all the time, then unload those lightening combinations. His handspeed is VERY under rated IMO. In all honesty, i find it very hard to imagine Marquez matching it with Diaz from this position.

    The closer the fight gets the more I sit on the fence......Marquez looks great at the weigh in while Diaz looks a bit soft......I may reserve my right to change my boxing tips leading upto the fight.....problem is I have change my pix about 4 times before a fight and lost every time :huh

    I was just about to say Ash.. Marquez looks in great shape in those weigh in photos. Diaz normally looks a bit soft though doesn't he? Kind of reminds me of Briggs, never seemed look that cut but then again this aint a body building comp! Come on JMM :happy

    Marquez, though you can also see Diaz taking it in a close one. Struggling with a call on this one. Should be a good fight.

    Yeah not a BB contest but u would thnk he would have a bit more shape......i mean you need 2 train hard to go 12......and you should see the results.

    The best thing about the fight is we are split on the result...half of us Diaz the other JMM....I may change my pix 2 or 3 times before the fight :rofl

    JMM !

    I cant believe I just got $1.60 at sportsbet for the win. This is money for nothing. He is bigger , stronger , and more skillfull.

    Also Chris John to punch holes through Juarez !!

    Great card coming up !!

    I've changed my mind about 100 times who i think will win this but at the time of this post i think Diaz in a very tight points decision. In 5 minutes time i'll probably think Marquez will win. :lol:

    Good to see a decent undercard fight too.
