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.

Miguel Cotto got rocked by Paulie Malignaggi.

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.
