Juan Diaz is awesome

Man Juan Diaz proves he is the man to beat at Lightweight

When i saw him against Juan Miguel Cotto, i thought this kid won’t last long by having no power to KO opponents.

But last night against Randy Suico, he had shown how great defense and intelligence can win a fight and he did it in outstanding fashion.

Suico who dominated the entire Pacific rim with and packs a 24W - 21KO’s record, but he was totally outclassed, outboxed, outmanuevered by Juan Diaz.

He is very young and not yet even at his prime

a fight with Frietas, Casamayor and Corrales will be great. and also with PACMAN if he decides to fight at lightweight

I have only seen him fight once so I don’t know much about him

It was the undercard of Mosley-Vargas

The ref stopped the fight because Suico might suffer a brain damage if the fight continues, good job by the ref

Hows the chin on Suico!!! :o

yeh I agree Diaz looked the goods :wink:

I really REALLY wanna agree…no shit.

I really do…but I aint sold yet…but last night was beautiful.

Diego Corrales would murder him

I think Diaz was mentally focused, fast hands & had accurate punches landed & Suico was surprised for it since he was only a replacement boxer.

I’ll admit he’s entertaining to watch, but once he fights the better guys out there he’s gonna get whipped. Personally I think Julio Diaz would kill him, & Corrales would do it in his sleep

you got that right ! Diaz is one hell of a fighter ! lots of heart and determination , those fights you mention would be fantastic. CC

Right on ! another good post ! Suico was tough as nails, I am very happy with the stoppage, Suico will fight on another day, glad the ref did not let it go as that fight could have been career ending for Suico

IMO Juan Diaz is still realitively untested, Lorcy was over the hill, Sim although tough didn’t really have top notch skills. Cotto was again tough but under skilled. Corrales eats him up, Freitas would run enough to get the nod, Casamayor wouldteach him how to fight as would Julio Diaz. Juan Diaz is still not at that level

I really REALLY wanna agree…no shit.

I really do…but I aint sold yet…but last night was beautiful.

I’m with you bro…

He’s good! But man, If Randy Suico can get a serious trainer, Man this kid could be awesome. His trainers didn’t knew what to do when Suico lost in the infight exchange. That’s where they hoping that he would dominate in that area. His losses were on foes that just ran away and outboxed him. Given his height, I think he should get a trainer who could teach him to fight tall. If this continues, what a waste of talent and Man could he hit. Juan Diaz’ right face was swelling from punches that are guarded.

I agree, maybe they did not study Diaz well and hopes Suico would land a bomb and finish him early. But it turns out Diaz is well covered and Suico’s lack of head movements do the damage for him. Suico is a big puncher with 21 KO’s but the handspeed of Diaz is main issue.

Joe Kuizumi should have opted Suico to dance early on and avoided the shots instead of colliding with it in hopes of countering Diaz.

Suico’s stands looks really like Luisito Espinoza, both trained by Kuizumi

Suico should look for a better trainer or he’ll ended up nothing but a prospect

I agree I saw his last fight and the cotto fight he’s awsome and very young (only22) and already had 29 fights, from now on am a fan of his and will root for him for many years.

Like I said, typical Filipino pratfall, looking for the big KO. In between roudns 1 and 2 I think, they showed a close up of Suico’s trainer. Bob Sheridan mistakenly claimed that Suico was being told to cover up when he threw the right uppercut. In actuality, Suico was being told to throw a right overhand to open up Diaz to the uppercut. We all saw that didnt work…

My point is, its the typical problem with Filipino boxers and trainers, they all want the KO victory. Not enough emphasis on the actual boxing. A guy like Suico gets his height wasted. I agree, he needs a new trainer, to bring him back to the fundamentals.

Diaz looks like a good fighter and rumours are going around that a unification with Popo Freitas is next!! The only thing I worry about is his lack of power against someone like Chico Corrales would be a downfall,Chico would walk through him and knock him out!

i dont think chico can walk through anybody ;D… Diaz is relentless he throws a shitload of punches and has a great chin IMO. remember he put a beat down on Jose Miguel Cotto who has some pop not like corrales but still powerful IMO. i like this kid.

I agree
