    Photos of what? The Press conference? These should be some great fights. Both H-Town guys are underdogs but I feel they will get their wins. The event in September was electric. This is an even better card so its going to be a special night. Diaz/Marquez has Fight of the Year written all over it.

    I wanted to go but couldn't justify buying the tix while I was out of work. I sat 6th row ringside for the last Diaz/Juarez doubleheader in the Toyota Center. It was freaking awesome.

    Yes. Angkor, they were at UH-Downtown for a Media Day and signed autographs and took photos with students, faculty and staff. They even had a ring for the boxers to do some shadow boxing. Márquez was never in the same vicinity as Díaz, but since Díaz and Juárez are from the same camp, they stayed together at the end, as you can see.

    I took some photos with them, but I know y'all don't want to see my mug :p . Díaz didn't do any shadow boxing since he had to go to class. :D

    As big a fan as I am of Juan Diaz, I don't think the guy has the skills to beat someone as polished as Marquez.

    Rocky is just trash, and he is going to get his ass whooped. But thats nothing new.

    Marquez by TKO in 10th round.

    Chris John by boring ass decision.

    Rocky looks like Santa's Little Helper in that red and green.

    I thought it was a good fight....lots of action. Its going to be close. John may come away with this one though.

    I hope Diaz can pull this off, but I'm not expecting it. Hopefully the h-town boy proves me wrong.

    Looks like our boy Juan didn't train to defend against Marquez's uppercut. I honestly thought Juan was going to be able to pull it off. He put up a great performance though. I've never seen Marquez being pressured that much.

    I don't think this loss hurts Diaz's career at all. If anything I think it might help him. He stood and exchanged with the best pound for pound boxer in the sport. And he rocked him a couple of times. Now that Marquez will move up in weight, this division is Juans for the taking. Hes got Edwin Valero out there...he should go for him.

    For Marquez..this sorta puts his career at a standstill. Everyone is sitting around waiting to see what happens between Pacman and Hatton. But Marquez is at the back of the line. More people would pay more to see the winner against Cotto, Mosley or Floyd (if he returns) than they would against Marquez.

    I doubt Mayweather answers the callout... Marquez was respectful, and I dont think Floyd will even care. Regardless, Marquez cannot beat Mayweather. Nobody can.

    The first round was pretty amazing.



    I wish they would change the name of UH Downtown already. That's a glorified community college.

    Blame the Main Campus/System. They're afraid by allowing UH Downtown to change its name, that will be the first step for the school to leave the System.
