 It’s a done deal. Juan Manuel Marquez will take on Juan Diaz on February 28th in Las Vegas for the IBO lightweight title. Rumor has it that “The Baby Bull” Juan Diaz is complaining about the location. Diaz wants to fight at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Marquez hasn’t given the green light yet to fight Diaz in his hometown, but one thing is clear both Marquez and Diaz will duke it out February 28th. Marquez-Diaz will be televised by HBO.

“I’m very, very excited and I’m hoping that everything works out and we get to 
step in the ring. But I’m very excited, he’s a legendary fighter and I think right now in my career what I need is a marquee fighter that will put me over that line from a regular fighter to a superstar-status fighter. And I believe that by beating Juan Manuel Marquez and fighting him, I will accomplish that,” said Diaz, who has taken on the likes of Julio Diaz, Acelino Freitas, Nate Campbell and Katsidis in recent years.

It’s definitely going to be a bloodbath, both Marquez and Diaz are brawlers, I can’t wait.
