Thread: Freitas vs. Diaz: War or Bore?

"Styles make fights. If "Popo: duplicates the one he used against Raheem, this one could go down as the “bore war” of the year. If he decides to press the action, the fight could get interesting as Diaz is always incoming. If that happens, it may become a test of “El Torito‘s” solid chin against Acelino’s proven power. Something is bound to give. At least that’s one possibility I’m counting on. However, the more likely one might be a cautious Frietas using technique and clinches to ward off a Diaz using a high volume of non-lethal punches to pile up points. What do you think?

I agree with you that it all depends on Freitas, I'd love for him to come out swinging & test Diaz' chin. Freitas has all the advantages in this one for me. So I hope he comes out fighting.

But experience tells me Freitas pitches another cautious 1st bout!

I vote bore

Hasn't the fight been canned?
I thought it was as the WBA want's Diaz to defend the title against a mandatory...

Hope not. I just purchased two $250 tickest!
