No way. Baldomir is nothing more than a regional journeyman who got lucky. Diaz, while he's not much better, at least had a very solid amateur background. He's a good fighter, not spectacular, but decent. And certainly better than the limited Baldomir.
Morales is gonna be crushed tomorrow night. Whoever bets on fights, if Morales is the favorite, put a huge chunk on Diaz.
Diaz is at least a B-level guy...he's no bum...he has good power and physical strength and not a bad chin...
Yes he looks drained, manny fighters do, Cotto as well. He doesnt look as bad as some of you guys saying though.
Morales looked better here than on his weigh in against Pacquiao. Im aFilipino and Im rooting for El Terrible this time. He needs to stick and move and stay out of the ropes, and I know he'll get the decision win. Bust Diaz's face, El Terrible! Wooooh! And guys, the undercard may surprise you. They got 2 Filipinos fighting and Ive seen them fight. Theyre really exciting. Theyre a lot more skilled and a lot busier than Czar Amonsot. And you know how exciting that fight was vs. Katsidis, right. Rodel Mayol is very good. he's at world championship level in skills already. I'd rate him at A- or B+. He's a natural lefty but was converted to righty. He's got a nasty left hook, left uppercut and left jab. His style got shades of a young Dela Hoya. Bernabe Concepcion is a nice young fighter, a club fighter style brawler. I rate him at B to B- in terms of skills, But he's an B+ in terms of action. He fights well inside and has got tight looking hooks and uppercuts. You better watch out tomorrow, guys. It's gonna be good.
