According to ESPN, Andre Berto vs Luis Collazo is set for HBO in January 17. Sergio Martinez will be a co-feature to the telecast.
Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Diaz has a tenative date of Feb 28 on HBO as well. They just have to agree on a purse and the fight is ready to go.
I'm pretty excited to see Marquez vs Diaz!! There's goes my idea of Marquez trying to steal the Hatton fight from Pacquiao!!!
The Berto-Collazo fight might land in Vancouver. I'll be going to my first fight if it does.
JMM - Diaz is a very intriguing fight.

Respect to rebounding Diaz but JMM should aim higher in next go,coming off sensational Casa KO :-X.Maybe Diaz should seek Campbell for rematch?
Spec check...I think Collazo/Berto is 50/50 :fight:
Campbell NEEDS a big fight, him sitting on the sidelines, holding the belts, while the guy he beat is getting big fights because of his promoter is utter bullshit. I guess that's just the way it goes though.Quote:

Juan Diaz - JMM is a good match up.
Love that rematch...I'll take Nate via volume & revenge factor :fight:.Nate has earned the big show but is flying 3rd class right now.I think Collazo beats Berto :-XQuote:

Maybe even a Campbell - Katsidis would be a decent payday for Nate. Either way, the man's earned the right to earn some coin.Quote:

I think Berto will win, but it's a hard one to call. I really, really hope it lands in Van.
I don't get why Berto-Collazo would be in Western Canada? BOth of them are from the eastern states, it seems too far away from their fan base to me.
I have no idea either. They're talking about having it at GM Place too, which is a 18,000 seat arena... The only other major fight I've heard discussed for Van recently was a Pac fight (maybe against Valero?). It was scrapped when he signed on to fight JMM again.Quote:

seriously loving the fact juan diaz isnt being consigned to the boxing scrapheap because of 1 loss.
The guys talent is there for all to see and he very much reminds me of a smaller miguel cotto.
should be a great fight, berto and collazo on the other hand will be a one sided beatdown that gets stopped after 8-9 rounds!!
Collazo is badly handled imo, he needs to be more active, he deffo needed a tune up or two for Berto, i think Berto wins by a big margain, Diaz v Marquez intresting i got a sneaky feeling for the baby bull.
Berto wins it easy imo.
Marquez-Diaz is really intriguing. Hopefully Diaz won't lose his spirit again if one of his eye starts to shut.
Both are great match ups Andre Berto will now finally be tested, against an elite Welterweight. And watching my boy JMM get in there against a top name again is always good to see.
I would rathered JMM had fought Nate Campbell/Ricky Hatton instead. But its still a very good match up, and i think it would tell us alot how a match up with JMM vs Ricky Hatton would go in the future.

Cant see the point in Marquez moving upto 147 as he will come across the same power issues Pac will once he fights a genuine 147pounder like cotto, margarito etc.
The only worth while reason to leave the 135 and lower division is hatton and that fight is one of many many offers being laid down to both men!!
JMM is gonna take Diaz to school. To smart and crafty for a 'volume puncher with no power' like Diaz. Marquez is gonna get hit but expect him to walk through it.
