Interesting fight between two decent but limited fighter. Does Gatti strenght and power enable him to ''Dorin'' Diaz, or does Diaz pivot to an UD
What weight are we talking? Cause that makes all the difference. Baby Cow wins at 135. Gatti wins at 140.
You put me between a rock and a hard place, as I notoriously can't stand either one. I think if forced to choose I'd go with Diaz by UD. He had good enough handspeed and workrate to tag Gatti consistently and pile up points. HOWEVER, I wouldn't rule out a Gatti come-from-behind KO. Diaz was a front runner for the most part. He never proved he could win in a tough fight under adversity, and Nate Campbell largely exposed him. Once he's hit Gatti with everything but the sink, and Gatti is still throwing back hard, maybe Juan mentally falls apart. Very tough fight to pick actually, but gun to my head I'd pick Diaz. I don't like this matchup though. Let's do Juan Diaz vs prime Tszyu.
I stick by what I said 3 years ago. Diaz wins at 135. Gatti wins at 140. Both were overrated as fuck.
