Loud, raucous, rabid are just some of the words that describe the 13,000 plus fans expected to fill the Toyota Center, in Houston, in support of Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz (34 - 2 w/ 17KOs) as he takes on Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi (26 - 2 w/ 5KOs) on August 22nd. Fight fans from all sides of the city will raise the decibel levels to new heights as they vibrate and shake the walls in applause for Diaz. Many fighters, in the sport of boxing, spend many years trying to find ways to garner the type of acceptance and admiration the former champion has received in his professional career. Several months removed from obtaining a Bachelor's degree, in Political Science, Diaz finds himself ready to educate his opponent by giving him a painful lesson in the art of the sweet science.
This fight pits two former world champion fighters together to share 12 rounds of boxing in attempts to regain the status they once enjoyed. Both fighters are coming off of losses in high profile bouts against top competition with both fights ending by stoppage victories in favor of their opponent.

When asked, "What went wrong?" Diaz would smile and say, "When I saw the blood I felt Marquez would think this was his opportunity, so I just went for it." It is evident that in defeat, Juan Diaz would rather go out on his shield than to just survive the distance.
For Malignaggi, this fight represents a golden opportunity to position

On August 22nd, there will be some serious soul searching for both fighters. Will Diaz get back to his winning ways by running over his opposition, possibly positioning himself for another high profile fight? Will Malignaggi prove the nay Sayers wrong and overcome the hunger, grit, and determination of the hometown hero? While it is a difficult task predicting winners and losers in certain fights, one thing remains inevitable; and that's excitement from watching a Juan Diaz fight. Diaz, many times has shown that his crowd-pleasing style has brought the fans to their feet in excitement. This fight should prove no different.

Be sure to tune in to HBO at 9:00pm, Saturday, August 22nd or if not be sure to get your tickets now.
