What happened to Juan Diaz?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

There's nothing wrong with Diaz. He likes to wing away once he traps his prey which he was unable to do with the crafty Magic Man.

Bilbo, you mentioned that you wonder where the Diaz that beat up Julio Diaz and Acelino Freitas went... Well, Freitas's legs are nowhere near Paulie's and Julio Diaz sat in Juan's wheelhouse and allowed him to wing away. Diaz was never allowed to get set against Paulie yet he still put forth a good effort.

Juan Diaz should stay at 135 and continue his canpaign. He's a good, solid come forward fighter that can throw punches for days. He way not have a whole lot of pop but he makes up for it with a nonstop swarming attack.

The Juan Diaz of old is still there. He's just fighting the Elite now. Freitas was at the ass end of his career and Julio Diaz was not a good boxer. He crashed the Elite with Campbell who forced him to fight through advercity, then he fought and aging ATG in Marquez who went to the body once Diaz was hurt to finish the show and now he fought a guy with speed and agility that is gone before Juan can set his feet. The days of him fighting the Jose Cottos of the world are over. He's world class... and he's fighting world class fighters now. It's not as easy as it used to be.
