*JMM vs. Diaz * Let's Talk it out!!!

[CFH]

As soon as Diaz felt the power...

That completely discredits Diaz. He took Marquez' power just fine for 8 rounds. You could make a case that he was winning the fight up until the KD/stoppage.

[CFH]

Those official scorecards are fitting.

[JazMerkin]

Marquez is a G. He will definitely get Hatton/Pacquiao winner methinks. Unless Arum decides to fukk us over. Diaz should punch Kellerman hard in the face. Or let B-Hop deal with him.

Istarted out hoping Diaz would win because he's a Tx. boy like me....Then I start feeling sorry for JMM getting mauled in the corners too much and seeing him come out like a pit bull when getting hit; plus he looked alot smaller t me than Diaz, so I started rooting for him haha.....By the end ofit I did't care who won but damn that was fun to watch.....Diaz almost ate a tv monitor on his way out the ring the 1st knockdown lol; then to get brutally finished like that wow......And F#CK Kreepy Kellerman what a douche bag.....Diaz should have asked him about his rap career

Man we all win from a fight like this. If a rematch, Juan Diaz will be more experienced and JMM will be all the more older. Awesome, makes the sport one with hope after a FOTy.

Tonight once again showed why boxing is the greatest sport in the world

I thought Diaz would win this fight by the seeming size difference, just bullying JMM and tiring him with his bulk and sheer output; and thinking also this would be the fight where JMM would feel his age and one f those where you say "well that's his career over now, he just got old"...... Guess JMM said f#ck the Geritol I ain't finished for a long while yet.....What a masterclass he demonstrated; some of the smartest, cleanest boxing I've seen, and what composure that dude has.......Gonna have to beg Danny to make me a JMM sig now

And Marquez's great skill and heart too: Diaz got taken down peg by peg; great for Jmm cause he was facing some real stuff there and couldnt get off for a long while; until he decided to stay cool and adjusted and took him out slowly from the body to the head ,uppercuts the whole thing was masterful.

What courage from Marquez to be in there getting pushed and knocked around for 8 rounds by that human hurricane, and hitting it right back. The man is truly grace under pressure.

[KananKrus]

JMM showcased the difference between courage and bravado!

[Gandalf]

Brilliant fight!! Diaz had me worried for Marquez early on, throwing so many and Marquez seeming to be ineffective on the ropes. But Marquez got the measure of Diaz and turned it around superbly. What a KO!!!! Tremendous.

Pac owes this man a rematch after the Hatton fight.

JMM fought a great fight tonight, and he certainly deserves to be right up there on the p4p rankings. I'm also glad he won. But I think he fought a terrible tactical fight in the first few rounds. He should have never allowed himself to get backed up against the ropes. Diaz was killing him in there. And the corner should've been more vocal about that between rounds. Luckily, JMM's counterpunching started to take their effect on Diaz, and eventually did him in. But JMM could've made it a bit easier on himself had he stayed off the ropes more. The difference between the ropes and middle of the ring were like between night and day.

Absolutely. JMM was frustrating the hell out of me every time he backed up against the ropes, especially the times Diaz wasn't pressuring - almost seemed like he wanted it there (and maybe he did - he does love to counter). Diaz was getting some nice work done there, and only there, so JMM should have kept it in the middle of the ring. Nacho was pleading with him to stay off the ropes though, and finally in round 8, JMM really began to listen - the beginning of the end for Diaz. His signature uppercut was surgical tonight (as usual), and the triple uppercut in the 6th was very entertaining. In all honesty, however, I think JMM was looking past Diaz - Diaz woke him up early on and made it a fight. When JMM almost went down in the second I though wow, time to go to work.

Diaz will carry on and tonight was a wonderful lesson for a skilled but learning fighter. Unless he decides to choose law-school over boxing, he'll be back and can hopefully use this brutal lesson to propel him to the next level. He does need to toughen up IMO - after he got the cut he was asking about it constantly in his corner, who abruptly told him to stop worrying about it and focus on his gameplan. In the post fight interview, he was all about the cut, reminiscent of the fight with Campbell. For some reason, getting cut up really affects this kid badly, and if you're going to compete with the elite fighters, you better be prepared to bleed. (I can't remember a fight when JMM wasn't bloodied up, including this one - doesn't phase the man a bit)

JMM deserves the big, big, big money fights (and has for years IMO). Future Hall of Famer and FotY award contender nearly every time (as with his little bro, and my second favorite fighter , Rafael).

We all won tonight

He sure does... Pac has a lot to prove to Marquez!
