The G Manifesto

Juan Manuel Marquez come from behind KO over Juan Diaz

Juan “The Baby Bull” Diaz started fast against Juan Manuel Marquez and had him in trouble in the early rounds in a classic war that could be 2009’s Fight of The Year.

A true battle that matched Diaz’s pressure and volume punching VS Marquez’s accuracy and power punching.

Marquez and Diaz traded furious punches from the opening seconds, with Diaz staggering Marquez midway into the second round but the Mexican G keeping his composure and fighting through the threat.

Diaz opened a cut above Marquez’s right eye in the fifth round and looked to be wearing down the elder veteran.

But Marquez responded by opening a gash above Diaz’s right eye with a left uppercut and stunning the younger G with a left hook 40 seconds before the end of the eighth round, setting the stage for the finish.

Marquez continued to work the body, which as it usually does made the difference.

In the ninth round, Marquez landed two stinging hard rights to Diaz’s face in a three-punch combination that sent the American falling face forward to the canvas with 35 seconds remaining in the ninth round.

Diaz rose but seconds later, Marquez followed with a right uppercut to the chin that left Diaz flat on his back as referee Rafael Ramos waved an end to the fight after two minutes and 40 seconds of the ninth round.

Marquez, 35, rose to 50-4 with one draw with his 37th victory inside the distance.

Diaz fell to 34-2.

Two G’s, toe to toe.

The victory gave Marquez, the reigning Ring Magazine title holder, a clean sweep of the WBA, WBO and IBO world titles.
