Juan on Juan: Baby Bull vs. JMMarquez

[fan johnny]

I'm sorry if I offended you in any way by what I said. I saw your comment and thought you meant you thought the fight was a SD.

But for the second part of your post. I don't think Marquez is going to be coming forward against Diaz. It will be the other way around. Diaz will be the one attempting to cut off the ring while Marquez will be stepping back ready to counter. If Marquez comes forward, I think that will be a tactical error on his part.

No worries.... we'll see Saturday what happens! I don't really care all that for Diaz, it just looked like he was hit on the break in that fight rather than the non-head butt everyone was talking about.... Make the guy look like a whinner....

Seems like Marquez is always crying about something.. Maybe we'll get lucky and see a double knockout.....

Diaz has it in him to out hustle Marquez, but I think Marquez will land the crisper, more effective blows. It's an interesting clash of styles. I'm going with a Marquez decision.

Such a hard one to call, I enjoy watching both guys, the baby bulls all out combination punching and JMMs crisp countering style should gel well, Marques for me has the edge as BBs going to be coming all night if he fights to past form and that I fear will play into Marques's hands giving him plenty of opportunities to land his counter shots, on the other hand BB could just over whelm him but I just can't see that as JMM's seen off plenty of Manny's attacks in the past, going to be a good one who ever wins.

my heart and brain says jmm, perfect combo of power and skill. he's p4p number 2 for a resaon.

The title made me think of the slogan....

Stop the Juan on Juan violence.....

I will go with Diaz. Split decision very entertaining bout. But if Marquez wins I think it will be by ko.

This is going to be a unanimous decision, or an anytime KO for Juan Manuel Marquez. JMM is too savvy for the Baby Bull Diaz. JMM takes with him the experiences he gained through his battles against P4P king, Pacquiao. If JMM follow the same game plan he had against Pac in his coming date with BB Diaz, it will be an easy win.

Diaz overwhelms his opposition "only" if he can establish landing his combinations with repetitious regularity. This is where Juan Manuel Marquez' evasive footwork exposes how inept the Baby Bull's most effective weapons really are, once it is set against his. Diaz will be too slow in foot speed and punches, for him to be effective and get a decent shot at JMM. Maybe he improved? Most probably not.

Expect the rest of the night to be a display of crisp counter-punching from JMM, landing combinations that will illicit the oohs and the aahs from the gallery, absent from a lot of non-PPV bouts. Come to think of it, even some PPV bouts!

The only reason JMM, did not get decisions on his fights against Pacquiao, is because Pacquiao had the ability to match JMM's speed, and the power that unfortunately knocked him down each time it landed flush.

On both speed and power, Juan "the Baby Bull" Diaz, is a notch slower, enough for the other Juan, to punish him through counters. Tire and frustrate him, from the active retreat style of the later.

JMM easily by unanimous decision, that is if BB can absorb well the wicked combinations to remain upright, or KO if not... anytime, because it will land all night. Maybe TKO for cuts, also, JMM! Maybe he's slowed down a bit, already? Most probably not!
