**The Julio Diaz express**

[Smith]

Come on, the man will win tonight, bye bye Juan:hi: Julio TKO9

[boxing_report]

This fight will definitely be more competitive than Diaz vs. Freitas.
Julio has a lot more guts and heart than "poopoo".
This could be the Fight of the Year.

I'm picking Juan Diaz to win today, its time for new blood at the lightweight division. Julio had his chances.

[Dorfmeister]

I respect Julio Diaz for his experience, toughness and determination but nothing suggests that he would beat Baby Bull other than the unreasonable argument that Juan Diaz is to be affected due to favoritism. The only advantage I see in Julio is that he is physically matured and Juan still holds puppy fat around the waist band and is not yet matured, on the flipside he carries a devastating two fisted attack that had a good puncher like Freitas thinking twice about offense himself...

[Dorfmeister]

Juan Diaz is still raw and he makes alot of fundamental mistakes which no one has been able to exploit yet.. Julio Diaz is his first real test and he's going to get his ass kicked.

Fair point Black but that also gives me the indication that Julio Diaz backers expect Juan to carry the action to Julio and that that particular will result in Julio's advantage. I also think Juan is raw but you gat to be very cold blooded to rely on a puncher's mistakes and I feel that Julio may have to fight against the clock and flip-flop his strategy somewhere during the fight, that's exactly why I didn't bet on him, no love lace to any fighter by any means whatsoever...

I just placed 3500 on Julio to beat Juan. This is going to be Julios big comming out party and Im going to cash in. Julio by KO round 10 is my prediction but I just bet Julio to win at 7-2 1000 and 3-1 odds at 2500. WOuld have loved all 3500 at 7/2 but with some lines changing and the ammount you can bet had no other choice.

I think this is about a 60/40 fight for juan. its pretty even but i think he has the edge. If Julio doesnt take juan out by the 6th then i think juan takes it. the kid builds momentum as the fight goes. it almost seems like the longer he fights the better his chances are of winning so therefore if it goes past 6 i dont see him losing.

Julio by TKO. He will hurt Juan BAD throughout the fight.
