Yonnhy Perez to rematch Joseph Agbeko | Fight News

Perez defeated Agbeko in one of the fights of 2009. Had the bout not been on Showtime, I'm positive that with the number of punches thrown, the fight would have shattered all Compubox records. While there was scheduled to be a purse bid for the rematch today, it appears that the promoters have come to a deal.

Everybody's chasing somebody | Dan Rafael's Notebook

Most of the notebook this week is just fluff pieces on Juan Diaz and Joel Casamayor, but there are a few interesting bits in there. Troy Ross is trying to get a fight with Danny Green. Unfortunately for Ross, I doubt it will happen. Green has been enforcing a 185 pound catchweight for his cruiserweight fights, and he's clearly interested in facing faded big names rather than dangerous up-and-comers. Deandre Latimore is trying to get Alfredo Angulo, which seems a bit more likely, although we saw what happened last time Angulo got in the ring with a guy capable of boxing from the outside. Finally, Arum says he is looking at Atlantic City as a venue for Pacquiao-Margarito, which is just plain hogwash. New Jersey state taxes are higher than what two foreign nationals would want to pay, which is why neither Pacquiao nor Margarito fights there. Also, he seems to be ignoring that Margarito is still on INDEFINITE suspension in the State of California, and that it's illegal for any state to license him under the Ali Act until that suspension is actually lifted in California. If California lifts the suspension, the fight will be in Vegas, period.

Felix Sturm to face Giovanni Lorenzo next | FAZ

After talks that Felix Sturm's next fight would be against Ricardo Mayorga, Kermit Cintron or even Marco Antonio Rubio, this is a bit of a letdown. Lorenzo is a proven second tier guy, and while he's no Koji Sato, he's no challenge either. Now that Sturm is out from under the Universum banner, one would have hoped he'd start taking the tougher fights he was asking for, but that appears not to be the case. Hopefully this is just a tune-up after a year plus layoff because of contractual disputes.

Next moves for Saul Alvarez | Boxing Scene

Alvarez's people say that Matthew Hatton has balked at their offer for a fight, and they are now looking at former champ Carlos Baldomir or contender Delvin Rodriguez for Canelo's next bout. At this point in his career, Baldomir would be more of a name than a step up, and while it's hard to imagine this could happen, he's lost a step or two since the last time he was on US television against Vernon Forrest, plus he's been fighting at middleweight recently. Rodriguez could be interesting, and this could be the bigger name fight Rodriguez has been looking for. Any deal with Rodriguez would be contingent on Rodriguez beating Ashley Theophane on tonight's Friday Night Fights.

Marquez-Diaz II weigh-in | HBO

Both HBO and ESPN will be airing the Marquez-Diaz weigh-in live at 5:45 p.m. Eastern.

Marquez still wants Pacquiao | Dan Rafael's Blog

That's a shocker. If you're into the business side of things, one interesting tidbit is that Rafael lists out the pursees for all of the fighters on the card. With less than $2 million in aggregate purses, Golden Boy can stand to make a killing on this card if it sells decently.

BJ Flores to face Yoan Pablo Hernandez | Figosport

Sauerland event, Hernandez's promoter, won the purse bid for the matchup for about $81,000. We'll see if Flores actually takes the fight. He reportedly refused a fight with Tomasz Adamek when he was Adamek's mandatory because he felt the $50,000 purse offer wasn't high enough. Here, he wouldn't even be making that much, and while Hernandez has a weak chin, he's a smooth boxer who's a pretty good fighter. Winner gets all the hot women.

Pavlik angling for Angulo, Dawson or Cloud | Boxing Scene

According to Jack Leow, he'd like to make Kelly Pavlik's next fight against Alfredo Angulo, Chad Dawson or Tavoris Cloud. Personally, I think Pavlik chasing after Dawson or Cloud without having at least tested the waters at light heavyweight is a horrible idea. Angulo might be more realistic. Gary Shaw, who promotes both Dawson and Angulo, has publicly stated that he's happy to have either Angulo or Dawson fight Pavlik, but that he probably can't get it to happen because of Bob Arum's tendency to keep fights in house.

Bad Left Hook Fight Preview: Juan Manuel Marquez v. Juan Diaz II

View full size photo »

The February 2009 fight between world lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez and former three-body lightweight titleholder Juan Diaz was a slugfest, a bloody war, and a great fight. It was so great that it was almost unanimously hailed as the 2009 Fight of the Year, winning the prestigious award from The Ring, and also topping our list of the best fights of 2009. The two men left it all in the ring, and after a fast start by Diaz, the veteran Marquez stormed back with harder blows; bloodying, flooring, and eventually stopping Diaz in the ninth round on HBO World Championship Boxing.

This Saturday night, they go to battle once again. Though this fight is a pay-per-view broadcast, it would be a lie to say that either man is at his hottest right now. Both Marquez and Diaz are coming off of pretty wide losses, as Marquez was shut out in a move to welterweight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last September, a jump up that was ill-advised for everything except Marquez's bank account. And Juan Diaz, after narrowly beating Paulie Malignaggi in disputed fashion in his hometown of Houston, was beaten pretty soundly by Malignaggi on the neutral grounds of Chicago in December.

Diaz, a weathered 26, has lost three of his last five and many will argue it should be four of his last five. Marquez, who turns 37 next month, hasn't been in the ring in 10 months. He has been inactive that long just one time before in his career. After beating Victor Polo in May 2005, Marquez fought next in March 2006 against Chris John, and lost.

I find this fight a lot more interesting than some might. Like basically everyone on earth, I do believe Marquez will win. I'm not going to hide that until the end, so if you're looking just for the pick, there it is. But there are a lot of things I want to look for on Saturday night, too.

Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KO, World Lightweight Champion)

Marquez is nearing the end of a career that should put him right into the Hall of Fame. Since Manny Pacquiao became Manny Pacquiao some years ago, he has been by far the toughest test of the Filipino icon's own Hall of Fame career, drawing Pacquiao in 2004 and losing a razor-thin, could've-gone-either-way split decision in 2008.

But in a lot of ways, that 2008 rematch with Pacquiao seems like a lifetime ago. Some of Floyd Mayweather's biggest supporters like to complain about "excuses," one of them being that Marquez was well over his best weight. My argument does not begin at welterweight being too high for Marquez. Frankly, he's really pushing it at 135, where he has gone 2-0 in a couple of fantastic fights, but there's been an obvious difference between the lightweight Marquez and the featherweight/super featherweight version of JMM. He's not as fast with his hands as he used to be, part of which is weight, probably more of which is just his age. He seems slower afoot, which I definitely blame more on the weight than I do his ticking clock.

But yes, a lot of it is age, another thing many of us brought up before, during, and after the awful loss to Mayweather. And that can be most clearly seen in Marquez's reflexes. He is, more or less, a blood-and-guts warrior at this stage of his career. His defense has greatly eroded over time. Some of that is a stylistic change. Marquez was once upon a time a pure counter-puncher with pretty solid defense, and now he's a guy willing to take a bunch to give plenty back. Five or six years ago you probably never could have convinced anyone that this guy would become one of the best go-to action fighters in the world, but that's what he is.

Because of that change over time, Mayweather was able to eat him alive. Floyd is a bigger man and Marquez was too old and all that, but if you could take each man at their best and stick them at 130 or 135 pounds, you'd have the same result. Marquez the counter-puncher would have had to become more aggressive, and Mayweather preys on aggression. Marquez the aggressive fighter was no match for Floyd.

Prior to that, however, he was able to eventually wear out Joel Casamayor, who is no easy task, and then eventually beat down Juan Diaz. Diaz started the fight very hot, winning the early rounds. But if you were watching closely, you could see Marquez getting in terrific work in return. Yes, the "Baby Bull" was winning the rounds, but Marquez was racking up more points on the ol' damage meter. His counter shots were harder than what Diaz could bring to the table, and eventually that led to Diaz being knocked out.

What I want to see Saturday is what Marquez has left in the tank. Has his power started to slip? Will moving back down to 135 bother him at all? Has his speed left him even more? Has his defense continued to slip? Will the years and years of tough battles finally start catching up with him in a fight that isn't an obvious mismatch like the Floyd farce?

Marquez is a great fighter. I would still rank him in the top five pound-for-pound in the sport, maybe even as high as number three. Saturday will tell us more about where he really stands among the current crop of fighters. If he looks shaky, his stock will fall some more, whether you still highly regard him (as I do), or whether you already feel he's sliding rapidly down the other side of the hill.

Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KO)

I like Juan Diaz. He is, for the most part, just a nice, humble kid, smart enough to know that there has to be life after boxing. He is, last I knew, currently in law school, and I believe he's invested in real estate, as well. And that's all great, until we start talking about what goes on in the ring.

In the ring, his nice story means nothing. Juan Diaz is not a fighter in the same way that Juan Manuel Marquez is a fighter. Marquez fights because it's what he does. I don't mean to say that Juan Diaz is not a dedicated professional, or that there's anything truly wrong with what he does, but Juan Diaz has prospects that have nothing to do with boxing. He has "an out," if you will. I'm not saying he's looking for it, but Juan Diaz's entire life is not tied to his boxing career in the way that Marquez's life is. This is what Marquez does. This is one thing that Diaz does.

Let me put it this way, and it's an old adage sort of deal that many people have used over time. If you give me two guys who have basically the exact same level of ability, but one of them is going to lose everything if he doesn't win the fight, and the other guy isn't, I'm probably betting on the guy who's going to lose everything if he doesn't win. I'm not saying that guy always wins, I'm saying I'd generally bet on him.

That's not quite the case here, though. Diaz is not equal to Marquez. He's not as good. Diaz is a good fighter who probably got a little bit overrated by many of us (and I include myself) before his loss to Nate Campbell, as he was clearing out what wasn't much of a lightweight division. If you look back at his best wins, they haven't aged that well. Popo Freitas never fought again and clearly did not have the heart to go through Diaz's pressure that night. Freitas quit in the corner and did so without much worry -- he was celebrating his career with his team moments later with a smile on his face. Julio Diaz has been very rocky since losing to Juan. And Jose Miguel Cotto has really done nothing in the four years since losing to Juan Diaz, to the point that it was almost surprising to many that he was still fighting when he turned up to face Saul Alvarez in May.

The bottom line for Diaz, purely as a fighter in the ring, is simple for me: he has a habit of wilting when the other guys fight back. He wilted against Campbell when he was cut, though his hideous cutman was partially to blame, too. He got cut against Marquez, was being battered, and was out shortly after the blood came and after it was clear he was being hurt. Paul Malignaggi frustrated him horribly in their second fight to the point that it looked like Diaz had all but decided it wasn't worth the effort by the later rounds. And for the record, I've never see Diaz look worse than he did in his last fight, one fight removed from a spirited effort in the first bout with Paulie.

In Diaz's case, I'm looking to see if he, ten years younger than Marquez, might not be closer to the end of his career than his elder opponent is to the end of his career. Like I said, Diaz has other things he wants to do in life, many other goals, things he's got planned for a post-boxing life, things he's already more than set in motion for a post-boxing life. He isn't the type of guy you can say eats, sleeps and breathes boxing. Juan Manuel Marquez is that type of guy.

I'm also interested to see if Diaz is coming in with a gameplan that might see him switch up what he does. Diaz's entire career success has been built on pressure, pressure, pressure, and he's a damn good pressure fighter. But we've already seen Marquez essentially walk through his pressure and knock him out. Diaz is not a strong enough puncher to get Marquez in serious trouble. Marquez has battled through 24 rounds with Manny Pacquiao, going down four times but never being close to stopped. Even if Marquez's age shows, I don't think Diaz can really hurt him.

So will Diaz try something different, or is he just coming to fight his fight, and throw a prayer into the wind?

I do understand the folks who don't think this is a suitable major PPV headliner. But I'm thoroughly intrigued by finding out what each of these guys has to offer on Saturday. The main event guarantees a better fight than any other recent major pay-per-view (Mayweather-Mosley, Pacquiao-Clottey and Jones-Hopkins II this year have been wretched), and will probably be a better fight than any other major PPV that will come out of boxing in 2010.

And we will be here on Saturday night with live, round-by-round coverage and scoring, plus immediate post-fight analysis of every bout on the bill. We'll even be covering the off-TV undercard, which will air on RingTV.com. If you're going to order, then come on by and talk some fights with us, live as they air. If you're not going to order, I promise you you will not find a better round-by-round coverage online, so join us to get the fastest coverage that you can get without ordering the PPV.

Know Your PPV (And Off-TV) Undercard for Marquez-Diaz II

This Saturday night's pay-per-view undercard for the rematch between Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz is a good one. If you're going to spend money on one boxing pay-per-view for the rest of 2010, make it this card. I understand criticisms that perhaps Marquez-Diaz II shouldn't be a headlining bout on pay-per-view, but the fact of the matter is, it's a rematch of the 2009 Fight of the Year, and Golden Boy Promotions has stacked the undercard with meaningful, interesting fights across the board -- even fights that won't air on television (which can be viewed on The Ring's web site).

Junior Welterweights: Robert Guerrero v. Joel Casamayor

In trying to sell this fight in a media call, promoter Oscar de la Hoya telephoned in his flashiest smile and offered, "Yes, (Casamayor) is 38 years of age, but 38 years young."

If anyone saw Joel Casamayor fight last November, it could be tough to tell them that Casamayor is 38 years young. That night, the former lightweight champ (and one of the best and most overlooked fighters of his generation) took on a club fighter named Jason Davis and had some struggles. He was fighting at 140, which is over his best weight, and yes, he looked old. He looked flat-out old.

But Casamayor might well have been on auto-pilot that night, too. This will be the fight where we find out what he has left. Former 126- and 130-pound titlist Robert Guerrero continues to move up in weight, and now he gets a crack at a big name on a big show. Guerrero (26-1-1, 18 KO) and Casamayor (37-4-1, 22 KO) are meeting at a crossroads. Casamayor hasn't had a good win in over two years, when he stopped Michael Katsidis in a scorching fight. Later in 2008, he lost the lightweight crown in another terrific bout, against Juan Manuel Marquez. It was the first time Casamayor himself had ever been beaten inside the distance, but he was very competitive in that fight.

Guerrero, who is 27 years old, hasn't had a big fight in about a year. Last August, he battled Malcolm Klassen in a good bout, and came out victorious. But that was at 130 pounds. He returned in April against journeyman Roberto David Arrieta at 135 pounds, winning easily. It was thought that Guerrero would stay at 135 for a while, but a fight with Katsidis fell through, and this was the best fight Guerrero was going to get any time soon.

I like this fight because of the crossroads aspect, because you never know what to expect with Casamayor, who has a history of fighting up and down to his competition, and because Guerrero himself is a bit of a wild card. We've seen him look sensational (stopping Martin Honorio in one round, a KO-8 over Jason Litzau), and we've seen him look a little bit like he wasn't there (a two-round no-contest with Daud Yordan). Both are southpaws, and both are talented. Casamayor has been in the ring with some greats, and Guerrero has youth on his side.

Pick: I like Guerrero here...I think. This is not one I would advise you lay any money on, let's put it that way. If Guerrero is focused and sharp, and the weight doesn't bother him (he's still unproven over 130), I think his youth carries the day. But if he's off, and Casamayor really does have something left, this could be yet another notch in the veteran's belt. I'll go with Guerrero UD-10, but do so very cautiously.

Middleweights: Danny Jacobs v. Dmitry Pirog

Now this is what I'm talking about. This is a double prospect bout between two of the best young fighters in the 160-pound division, which is reeling at the current moment, but has a cavalry of good young fighters coming in the near future. One of these two is about to join the upper echelon of the class, and the other will go back to the drawing board a bit.

CompuBox compared Pirog to Antonio Margarito (calling him a "poor man's Margarito"), while our own Brickhaus commented that a comparison to 154-pound European champ Ryan Rhodes is more in order. Rhodes and Margarito are incredibly different, so Brick and CompuBox are going to meet in a parking lot with tire irons to settle this. Or everyone will just watch the fight. I side more with the Rhodes comparison -- Pirog is, as Brick said, better than Margarito's ever been on the defensive side of things.

Jacobs (20-0, 17 KO) has been very good but rarely thrilling on his climb up the ranks. The 23-year-old "Golden Child" out of Brooklyn hasn't had much by way of major steps up in class -- basically, outside of Ishe Smith, I think he'd have beaten everyone he's beaten so far if he'd fought them in his fifth pro fight, if that makes sense. Ishe, though, gave him some lessons in the ring. Smith was able to get into Jacobs' head and turn the fight a bit dirty and fiery, which benefited the veteran, because Jacobs' physical advantages were obvious.

Pirog (16-0, 13 KO) will be giving up a little bit of height against Jacobs. The Russian isn't as young as Jacobs is, as Pirog is already 30 years old, so this is kind of a now-or-never sort of matchup for him. Pirog had been in talks to face Matthew Macklin at one point recently, but that didn't come about, and he's now showing a desire to get himself in the race at 160 by taking on Jacobs.

One thing I found interesting was how elated that Jacobs was to get this fight for a vacant alphabet strap at 160, but also his realism about the situation when he discussed the bout at first:

"I know they'll call me a paper champion when I win," Jacobs said. "But look at it from the other standpoint -- anyone in my position, they wouldn't decline it if offered. Believe me, if I had the opportunity to fight Sergio Martinez and win the title from him, I would want to do it that way. I would want to take the belt from him, but the opportunity hasn't been presented to me. This one was. I took it."

Pick: I like Pirog and Jacobs both. Pirog has fought more or less the same level of competition that Jacobs has, in my estimation, but I don't know if Pirog has fought someone as talented or as good as Jacobs already is. In fact, I'm almost totally certain he hasn't. Both guys are looking to make their names with this fight, and I hope that means both come to fight, instead of it winding up with two tentative guys who start getting trigger-shy on the biggest stage of their careers. I like the American to grab the strap. Jacobs UD-12

Lightweights: Jorge Linares v. Rocky Juarez

This is it for Rocky Juarez. Neither Juarez (28-6-1, 20 KO) nor Linares (28-1, 18 KO) has ever fought at 135 pounds before, but this bout will be at lightweight as Juarez continues to search for a division in which he might be able to win a belt, and Linares moves up in weight, looking to get back his status as one of the most promising young fighters out there.

Linares' lone loss came, of course, in October of last year, when he was shockingly stopped in the very first round against Juan Carlos Salgado in Japan. Without meaning to take anything away from Salgado, I firmly believe that was a first-rate fluke. Linares was caught cold, didn't handle getting hurt well, and left himself open to be stopped after being knocked down. It's one of those things that happens.

The good news for Linares is that Juarez doesn't start fighting until about the 10th round, so the first shouldn't worry him much on Saturday. Juarez, now 30, has been an incredibly frustrating fighter to follow throughout his pro career. Since he was upset by Humberto Soto in 2005, he's gone just 5-5-1, with his draw against Chris John in their first of two bouts being seen by most as a hometown gift in Houston. His best moment as a pro came when he nearly shocked the world against Marco Antonio Barrera in their first bout back in 2006, a fight where Juarez came in as a late substitute. Barrera soundly defeated him in the rematch, as did John in their second encounter.

In his last fight, Juarez, as usual, promised he was going to start faster, that he knew he couldn't wait around any longer as he has often been criticized for doing in his career. But he just stood and waited with Jason Litzau, a fighter with a subpar chin/defense combination who himself wasn't exactly out there lighting it up. Juarez wound up losing a technical decision after seven rounds.

That night, I wrote Juarez off as a possible serious contender. He's a talented fighter, and he's very powerful as a featherweight. But his bad habits have never been broken, and there's no good reason to think that's going to change now.

Pick: This will be the best win of Linares' career to date should he get it, and I think he will. I'd love to pick Rocky Juarez, who I've long been a fan of, but he just doesn't bring it, and after his last fight, I lean toward questioning how fully his heart is into boxing anymore. It could end earlier on cuts. Linares UD-10

Gamboa-Salido could be back on, says Arum

by SC on Jul 28, 2010 7:01 AM EDT in News Analysis Comment 1 comment

Lem Satterfield of FanHouse reported yesterday evening that if Elio Rojas does indeed pull out of his September 11 bout with Yuriorkis Gamboa, it is possible that Gamboa's original opponent for Boxing After Dark, Orlando Salido, could be stepping back into the fold.

Salido has been offered to HBO, and the network is considering the fight, says Bob Arum.

"We've suggested a replacement for Rojas and HBO is considering it. It's another champion, Orlando Salido," said Arum. "Salido is a really big puncher and a fellow champion and that makes for a really good fight."

Arum has dismissed the idea of Gamboa fighting 5'11" Celestino Caballero, who says he's ready, willing and able to jump into what would be the biggest fight of his career. Caballero has repeatedly called out Top Rank's two top featherweights, Gamboa and Juan Manuel Lopez, to no avail.

Arum says that Caballero, with his height and reach, is a special case and that it's too late in the game for Gamboa to get proper training in for him, and to be totally honest, I buy that. Caballero is unlike any other featherweight. Gamboa-Rojas was a very good fight on paper, and while Gamboa-Caballero would be phenomenal to get, it's hard to argue with Gamboa-Salido as a replacement. Salido (34-10-2, 22 KO) won the IBF title from Cristobal Cruz in May, and while he would be a massive underdog against someone as explosive and dynamic as Gamboa, it's about as good as you're going to get for a replacement fight at this stage in the game. No one should have expected Caballero to get in there now, though it can definitely be argued he should have already been there in the first place.
