Juan Manuel Marquez is my favorite fighter.....

[2501]

So I will be rooting for him against Juan Diaz when I go to the fight. I'll actually be designing a JMM shirt to wear and hopefully, I don't get popped.

Anyway, I just really can't see how this fight is going to go. I want to favor JMM's counterpunching skills and accuracy over Diaz's agressive combination punching but Diaz has a style that JMM has not yet faced.

Pacquiao threw combinations against JMM, but the majority were from the outside. Diaz on the other hand, bullies his way into personal space and thats when he releases coupled with the way he circles around his opponent when throwing combinations.

The way I see JMM staying out of danger of this is by backpeddling and lateral movement everytime Diaz goes for the attack because he wont be able to outmuscle Diaz like Campbell did.

Only problem is, thats not very much Marquez's game. Slip and counterpunch. Thats what he does.

I just dont know.

Honestly, JMM has to land something BIG early. He needs to discourage Diaz from rushing in, because if Diaz imposes his will and dictates the pace, Marquez could be in trouble.

However, JMM is just so accurate, and Diaz has some major defensive liabilities, that I think Diaz is gonna taste some power early on and be a little hesitant.

I got JMM by UD or late stoppage. It's going to be a GREAT fight though, and the style clashes are SO intriguing.

fantastic fight to be at.

it'll be heavy for the diaz contingency - those norteños'll probably have it out for you going for the guy south of the border; bring a shank brother.

this will be a good fight regardless of who wins, but jmm's counterpunching will beat diaz's aggression. only way jmm loses imho is if he gets old overnight and diaz just pushes a pace that jmm cannot keep up with.

I think Cambell was really helped by Diaz being cut. Without that, the avalanche known as Diaz may have rolled him right over to the tune of a UD Victory for Diaz. Diaz has gone from slightly overrated to slightly underrated. This may be a pick em fight.
