As the week progresses towards the fight which many of us cannot wait to watch, I caught up with WBA lightweight titlist Juan Diaz to get his take on what to expect this Saturday night. “I think it’s going to be a great night for boxing and I think that it’s a great fight for the fans. You have Arturo Gatti who is a blood and guts warrior that always gives great fights and you have a true talent like Mayweather. If Floyd comes into the ring trying to prove that he can stand in there and fight with Gatti, he may get knocked out. Gatti is the bigger guy and stronger guy. In the end, I think that Floyd is just too talented for anyone and you just can’t hit him. He moves a lot and has a lot of defensive skills. I think Mayweather is going to win a decision.” As for the “Baby Bull,” he has an upcoming non-title fight scheduled for July in which he is taking on Arthur Cruz. This fight is really more of a “stay busy” contest as Diaz is coming back from his eye injury which kept him out of the first ESPN pay-per-view card in March of this year. Should everything go well for Juan in July, he told this writer that his team expects him back on ESPN’s second pay-per-view card which is scheduled for September or October of this year. Possible opponent being mentioned, “El Temible,” Jose Luis Castillo. WOW! There is really nothing more to say.
