WelshDevilRob Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Juan Diaz: Brandon Rios, I'm Back and I'll School You By Edward Chaykovsky Former IBF/WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Diaz (35-4, 17KOs) is gunning for a title shot against WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios (27-0, 20KOs). In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, Diaz announced his return to boxing after being away since July 2010. Diaz lost two of his last three fights, with two of those defeats coming at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez. On his Twitter page, Diaz sent Rios a warning. Diaz is reportedly a free agent after his contract with Golden Boy Promotions expired, which makes the fight possible, although Golden Boy is trying to resign him. "I am back and stronger then ever. Just letting you hold my title for now. I am going to school you, and shut you up!" Source: www.boxingscene.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoner Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Juan Diaz fights are rarely boring and neither are Rios' fights. Would be a brawl. I'd like to see Rios in against Michael Katsidis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman370 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 great fight to be made. though, i almost feel like it'd be too easy to get diaz/rios like that. give me diaz/antillon to decide who faces rios. diaz/rios/antillon has awesomeness written all over it! sorry for dreaming out loud. we know this makes too much sense for Our Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
