Diaz has clearly KOed only two guys in his pro career and both were no hopers. Freitas made it lights out for more than 30. Diaz fought nobody in his career with Cotto and Suico being half decent. Freitas fought plenty of top fighters. Diaz has the pressure style with zero power. Freitas has the footwork and quick hands. Freitas takes this one.. Freitas can outbox Diaz. He's alot faster and Diaz doesn't bring anything to the table that will trouble Freitas, like big punching power. Corrales showed that Freitas doesn't take getting blasted well at all but Diaz's punches won't bother him.
Diaz has nothing to intimidate Freitas with. Once Freitas learns he can handle Diaz's best shots, he's going to unload on Diaz if he pressures Freitas. If he gets tired, he can just stick and move. Can't see that Diaz has any hope. The any hope I have for him is that his been champ for 3 years. But I don't know much about his opposition -it sounds flaky though.
With Popo's unorthodox style and if he still has that supreme knock out power he will knock baby bull silly..I got to watch more of Diaz to make a more intelligent post..but I think popo always got a punchers chance.
I think Diaz will hang in there, but be stopped mid-rounds by Freitas. Acelino has had the better competition and that will pay off, and of course it hurts Diaz that he has very little power. I like Freitas by maybe 6th or 7th round stoppage.
BTW does anyone know if BAD is showing an undercard fight and if so, who's fighting? :dunno:
Tnx
