Props to Diaz

Yeah... Marquez deserved it. Was impressed with Diaz... kept his composure well whenever he was hurt. Who does he fight next?

 

Alot of respect for my boy Diaz....

 

cannot question his heart.

 

I would have liked to see him let it go but its easier said then done. Marquez is so damn accurate.

I think that may be the last we see of Diaz as a fighter.

 

Diaz fought to survive. He was content to last the distance, and not get KO'd. I dunno why that deserves credit.

 

he came on in the last 2 rounds... you could tell that Marquez was a little suprised by it

 

Lots of credit for his bravery. He sought to survive in certain rounds but his strategy chance was working for him in some aspects. Marquez struggles a bit with movement, and the jab was working for him. He just needed a balance of powerpunch output and technical awareness to be successful. He can beat plenty of other boxers fighting with both smarts and aggression. Just not JMM.

 

Thats how I saw it.

I think whats happening here is that people tend to tilt to believing what is fed to them by the broadcast team, and the theme tonight was that Diaz was boxing better than they thought he could........when in actuallity he was getting beat in every faze of the game.

The HBO broadcast team would compliment Diaz' jabs, yet Marquez outjabbed him.

LOL, in a couple of occasions the broadcast team was in the midst of complimenting Diaz' footwork, and right then Marquez would land a pinpoint combination.


Marquez imo looked the same in this fight that he did a little over a year ago against the same Diaz.
The only difference in Diaz lasting the distance was that he did'nt fight to win.
Past the first few rounds, Diaz seemed content to finish on his feet and last the distance.
There is never nothing impressive to me when a fighter is'nt in it to win it.

 

much respect, any pussies talking **** about Diaz can swallow cum

 

juan diaz earned his money tonight and gave the fans a good fight.

 

He's a decent B level fighter. props.

 

I agree. We can all celebrate Diaz's improved skills, but all those skills did was keep him vertical.

Every fighter, and especially those on center stage, have two obligations:

1) Prepare appropriately

2) Try to win


Diaz failed on No. 2 and therefore warrants no acclaim. All fighters deserve a baseline of respect, but he didn't bring it tonight.

Full credit to Marquez, and I hope he gets another big payday or two before calling it quits.

 

Diaz is not a boxer.
From his first fight as a pro, he's been a come foward swarming type volume puncher.

Any way you cut it, Marquez is just the better fighter, but imo at least fighting how Diaz fought the first time, there is always a chance something crazy happens like a clash of heads that changes the flow of a fight, or even catching Marquez with a lucky shot.


The strategy by Diaz to use the jab and try to box Marquez from distance with the jab was absolutely ridiculous.

Diaz has always been a swarmer, and all of a sudden he's going to chance that and try to box the best technical and tactical fighter in the game?atsch
