Marquez-Diaz undercard is set....

[CFH]

Sounds like a good card, which will make up for the bullshit main event. Jacobs - Pirog really interests me.

Agreed....a rematch on ppv of two guys coming off losses, especially diaz who arguably has lost four of his last five. Jacobs is fun to watch but pirog is a guy i've never even heard of nor any of the people he's fought. And sadly rocky juarez vs anyone is a fight hard to get excited about.

I don't know much at all about Pirog, but he looks like a solid prospect and there are a ton of videos of him on youtube. I just watched part of his fight with Kofi Jantuah.

I assume this means Amir Khan won't be fighting Casamayor then in July/August?

Hopefully this means he has Michael Katsidis lined up instead but can't see it happening at short notice myself.

It's a better than normal PPV undercard but it's a not really a PPV fight. GBP's contract with HBO expires next year and that should mean much better fights for your subscription/PPV dollar.

Yes, pretty solid card. Not sure I want to Juarez again though, he just won't go away.

a great undercard to go along with a great main event. juan diaz may not be the fighter he once was but i believe he and marquez make a great pair in the ring. robert guerrero should beat casamayor only because of his youth. for the linares/juarez fight, i see this one as a tough fight with linares coming out ahead. juarez simply has had too many chances to win any type of title. after this loss, i hope juarez retires.

Not really sure why ppl would want Juarez to retire after another loss? He lost to the best in the division everywhere he went, but he is competitive and coming a long way around to becoming champ. Marquez, Barrera, and CJohn? Geez I'd hate to be in any of those fights. Surely, Juarez has come away with experience that even the best trainers can't provide him with.

I give him accolades, but I do think that someone needs to light a fire under his ass. He wouldn't even fight Jorge Barrios until is was almost too late. He was fortunate to find his rhythm at in that fight. Against CJohnin their last fight he did have him bobbling around the ring in the 12th... I just think he is trying to pace himself a little too much, and he needs to trust his power to slow his opponent down to his level. He has the tools... Maybe its the trainer?

And don't be all too surprised if Diaz comes away with the win. Marquez could get old overnight. I just don't see this being the barn-burner we saw last year.

I actually think that Diaz is more likely to look completely shot in this fight. He's looked godawful lately and if Paulie Malignaggi hurts you it probably means your chin isn't what it once was.
