How Good......... Spoilers.

[No Contest]

Marquez face has been through alot, he's starting to get into Vasquez type perm damage. He has alot of scar tissue from those Paquiao fights, you can see the lines and how the face turns red real fast and cuts easy. Its not gonna be getting any easier for Marquez, father time is catching up to him.

Want to see a JMM fight with Katsidis though...

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Am I the only one who through Juan Diaz was pretty horrible in that fight then

Tactically, he was all wrong for 10 rounds. It's not like he couldn't of done more.... He could of done a whole load more. He was easily dominated until he actually put the pressure on... and basically applied himself.

So by that I can't tell a whole load by Juan Manuel Marquez' performance except that he will be perfectly okay fighting guys who don't apply themselves

Juan Diaz got rocked plenty in the fight, if he would of pressured JMM like the first time. He would of been KO'ed within 7, JMM was finding Juan Diaz with the uppercut early. And Juan Diaz was probably shocked JMM was the aggressor from the opening bell.

Juan Diaz was trying to box JMM, trying to use his quick handspeed and in and out movement. Like he did with Michael Katsidis, its just JMM is a better boxer and his handspeed was equally as fast.

I don't really know what you expected from Juan Diaz, he gave it all he got in the 1st fight. And he lost the war on the inside, so he rightfully changed his tactics trying to adjust.

So atleast he tried to come in with a good gameplan, but he just isn't on JMM's level Juan Diaz is a good fighter where as JMM is a great fighter.

Juan Diaz got rocked by Paulie Malignaggi

I didn't really expect much from this fight TBH. You have to be realistic about things. Both as a fan and a s a fighter. (Surely?)

I doubt that Juan Diaz was realistic in his estimation of his chances. It seems like the only way he could of HOPED to of had a chance is if Juan Manuel Marquez had broken down as an athlete MORESO than Juan Diaz has lost his appetite for a fight.

IMO he paid for this 'guestiamtion' by way of an embarrassing loss.

Cotto's case was that he was weight drained, and in Diaz's case, well although Malignaggi is a pillow puncher at 140, remember his fights with the smaller Diaz were at 135 probably giving Malignaggi a bit more power although not much

Yeah and went on to win the fight so what's you point

Cotto gave it his best and won. Diaz gave it his best and got knocked out

I guess where there is no room for tactical improvement, the only factors that could contribute to a different outcome are changes in either physical or mental states.

IMO it was clear that Diaz was banking on now having a Mental & Physical advantage over Marquez due to the prolonged and embarrassing nature of Marquez' previous defeat at the hands of Floyd Mayeather along with the speculated wear and tear that was associated with his long career.

I don't think anyone really knew what Marquez was gonna look like in this fight and he showed that his is still a warrior and a smart fighter but IMO that's a bit too easily said when facing an opponent who isn't really prepared to assert themselves.
