Juan (the blubbery seal) Diaz avoiding Malignaggi rematch

[CFH]

More on Diaz-Malignaggi | Fightnews - Boxing News Updated 24/7

Malignaggi did more than enough to win his fight with Diaz and was plain as day robbed. Golden Boy and Diaz should have the common decency and courtesy of giving Malignaggi an instant rematch, but instead they run looking for pots of treasure.

I dislike Richard Schaefer who appears to be nothing more than Golden Boys resident propagandist. He comes across as a horribly plastic human being. And Diaz reminds me of nothing more than an overactive blubbery seal. You just need to draw some blood and then harpoon him.

Malignaggi is stylistically difficult and Diaz simply doesn't want to try and work him out. It annoys me when fighters refuse to acknowledge boxing robberies by refusing rematches.

It was not a robbery by any stretch of the imagination, it was a close fight that could've gone either way; Malignaggi said so himself. The scores were completely out of whack, but a legitimate argument can be made that Diaz won the fight. I had him winning by one round.

I thought Malignaggi outworked Diaz quite convincingly and has a very good case for a rematch on his own turf. It's a shame that The blubbery seal has no desire to prove the public wrong.

That doesn't make it a robbery.

You can argue semantics all you like. I think it was a robbery.

And one of the great post fight interviews. Malignaggi admits it was close, but he is right in that he did outbox Diaz. He says he was robbed too.

I can't help but wonder how would Diaz fare against Hatton.

Many people were criticizing Pac for fighting David Diaz instead of Juan and now that Juan was exposed, I can't help but also wonder what would have happened had he (Juan) fought against Pac.

Now then Bruce. You are obviously missing me...

I wouldn't mind seeing Hatton/Diaz either. I just can't see Hatton coming back now though. It will have been a year since Pac before he is in any way ready to get near the ring again and I can't see that being good for someone who sups and eats like Hatton.

I would have much preferred Pac to fight Juan rather than David Diaz too. Would have been exciting while it lasted, whereas David Diaz was just a totally one sided beat down.

Same here Bro, I remember those days when Juan was calling out Manny with a lady alongside the Baby Bull screaming WE WANT PACMAN, PACMAN. this kid belitlling Manny's accomplishments saying he beats up old champs. Now he has 2 losses vs much older competition and a very questionable win over Malignaggi whom Hatton just dominated, the Hatton that..............

A close fight that could have gone either way by it's very definition is not a robbery. It has nothing to do with arguing semantics.

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree on this fight then. It was a relatively close fight, but Malignaggi outworked Diaz down the stretch and fought the smarter fight for me. He deserved the win.

I'm sure neither of us could disagree that a rematch would be a decent fight and that it would be fair to have it outside of Texas. It doesn't seem to be on the cards though.

I thought it was a competitive fight, but with competent judging I can't really see how it could have gone either way.

Paullie won that fight for sure, he simply won more rounds. It's only the appalling standards of boxing judging generally that allows for conjecture and subjective opinion when the fight is not a landslide win for one guy.

I'm very suprised that anyone totalling up the rounds and scoring professionally could give that fight to Juan, who I thought was pretty badly exposed in that fight, against a non puncher who fought at a catchweight for him and came in dehydrated.

Diaz is finished as a top level fighter, but hopefully Paullie will get another shot at a big name in the future.
