The_budweiser Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 NEW YORK (January 18, 2012) - Undefeated super featherweight prospect Joel Diaz, Jr. is a true throwback fighter, always in top shape and ready to go just in case a call comes seeking a late replacement for a high-profile fight. That call recently came for the 19-year-old Diaz (6-0, 5 KOs), who will be making his ShoBox: The New Generation debut Friday night against unbeaten Guy Robb (7-0, 3 KOs), opening in an eight-round bout on the televised portion of a card headlined by a World Boxing Association ("WBA") super bantamweight title fight between Rico Ramos and Guillermo Rigondeaux, live from Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The opening came when a leg injury forced Brandon Gonzales out of his fight against Caleb Truax. Diaz was supposed to fight Friday night on a card in Woodland Hills (CA) along with his Boxing 360 stable-mate and fellow Palmdale (CA) resident, super middleweight DonYil Livingston (7-0-1, 4 KOs), who faces Michael Walker (19-11-2, 12 KOs) in an six-round bout.

davemurphy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Guy Robb is a local fighter I got to see a couple times when I was staying out in Northern California and while I'll be rooting for him, I'm afraid he's up against it when he faces Joel Diaz Jr. tomorrow night.
