Juan Manuel Marquez Wins!!

In what turned out to be a great fight, Juan Manuel Marquez defeated Juan Diaz with a wicked upper cut. Premier boxing is one for one in predictions as we got our first one right with this fight. It was an tough fight for Marquez but he pulled it out with a ninth round knock out in the end. Marquez has now solidified himself as the best lightweight (assuming Nate Campbell will be moving up). He also kept the door open for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao and established himself as an exciting fighter. Interestingly enough, Marquez claimed to want to fight Floyd Mayweather after the fight indicating that he didn't think Pacquiao would fight him. It will be interesting to see where JMM goes next. His stock is definitely still high and potentially even growing. All in all, it was a great fight and nice start for our first prediction on premier boxing.
