A potential fight between lightweights Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz is getting closer. The fight has been in talks at one point or another since Marquez stopped Joel Casamayor in September. Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy Promotions, tells Dan Rafael that both fighters have agreed to the fight, which will take place on February 28 on HBO or at some point in March. [details]

Awesome..2009 is turning to a fine year of boxing so far..

[Mr. Fantastic]

I like JMM but I have to go with Diaz on this one.

[Clegg]

It's a good fight and I'd love to see it, but I would prefer JMM-Campbell first.

Two GBP boxers, fighting for a GBP belt, and ignoring the guy that beat one of them and holds the 3 main belts.

Great fight, I really hope it gets made.
I actually think Diaz can pull it off and win.

[Mazukan]

Sounds like a good fight. I guess Morales didnt get his wish of fighting Marquez
