[Rick Farris]

Rick do you know a guy named Sean Stanek, he was a friend of mine when I was 13 or 14 and I never saw him again, but I did see him on a movie back in about 1984 he had a small part, well I just got to thinking about him and I looked him up on IMDB a few minutes ago and he is still in the movie business but not acting anymore I think it said motion picture shoot supervisor.

Don't know him.

Juan Manuel Marquez Beats Juan Diaz by Unanimous Decision

By Lem Satterfield


LAS VEGAS -- Juan Manuel Marquez is considered Mexico's No. 1 fighter, even as he turns 37 years old next month.

Marquez was coming off of September's one-sided unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather at welterweight (147 pounds).

And on Saturday night, in an HBO pay per view televised main event from the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Marquez faced a man in Juan Diaz who is 10 years younger at the age of 26, and who took him to the brink of a loss before being knocked out in the ninth round of February's 2009 Fight of the Year.

But in front of an announced crowd of 8,383 that was largely partisan to Marquez, the man from Mexico City defied his age yet again.

Marquez outfoxed the younger dog once again by unanimous decision in defense of his WBO and WBA lightweight (135 pounds) crowns, improving to 51-5-1, with 37 knockouts.

Diaz slipped to 35-4, with 17 KOs, losing for the fourth time in his past six fights.

Judge Jerry Roth had it 116-112, Patricia Morse Jarman 117-111 and Glenn Trowbridge 118-110, all for Marquez. FanHouse had it 118-110, for Marquez.

"The first fight was difficult, but this was too. He's a great fighter and has a good technique, but I was the better fighter tonight. He's a very good boxer," said Marquez. "Like every Mexican warrior, we fought with our hearts and left it all in the ring."

A five-time champion over three weight classes, Marquez now has plenty of options.

Marquez could pursue a status as the first Mexican fighter to win a fourth crown in as many weight classes by going after WBA junior welterweight (140 pounds) king Amir Khan (23-1, 17 KOs), who watched from ringside.

Marquez could chase a third bout with seven-division champ and present WBO welterweight titlist, Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs), against whom he has battled to a draw and lost a disputed split-decision.

Or Marquez could face Australia's Michael Katsidis (27-2, 22 KOs), who wears the WBO's interim belt, making him the mandatory challenger to the winner of Marquez-Diaz.

But Marquez wants a third fight with Manny Pacquiao, against whom he has drawn and lost a disputed decision.

"The trilogy is what I want. Manny Pacquiao is who I want. Everyone wants to see it. It's a good fight for all fight fans -- for the Mexicans and the Filipinos," said Marquez. "That's the most important fight to me now. I'll be ready for November and hopefully, Pacquiao will take the fight."

Diaz was coming off of December's lopsided, unanimous decision loss to light-hitting Paulie Malignaggi (27-4, five KOs), who nevertheless staggered Diaz at one point during their fight.

In victory, Malignaggi avenged a disputed unanimous decision loss before Diaz's hometown fans in Houston.

"I fought the best fight that I could. We were trading punches. We fought in and we fought out. I didn't stand in front of him. I wanted to get in there and then get out. It was hard, and I got hit with a couple of good shots. The goal was to go in, get combinations, step around, and step out," said Diaz.

"I did the best that I could. I followed the game plan, I worked off of my jab and it was a very tough fight. He's a great fighter and he was the better man tonight," said Diaz.

Diaz was out-landed, 288-155, overall, 120-to-81 in jabs, and, 168-to-74 in power punches.

An aspiring attorney who was once an undisputed lightweight champion, Diaz said that he will take some time off to decide his future.

"I don't know what I'm going to do next. I'll consider all of the facts. I'm going to take the LSAT (law school admission test) and that's another fact. I've been fighting for 10 years, longer than a lot of fighters. So I'll have to figure it out and see what I'm going to do," said Diaz. "I'm not going to sit here and say that I'm not going to fight again or not."

I didn't see the second bout between Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz, but it appears that the former won handily. Based on his recent bouts, I think that Diaz should retire from boxing and concentrate on going into the legal profession.

Made some ham & eggs sandwiches with yesterdays left over ham....

Judging by the serving of ham and eggs you got at Lisa's you could probably make ham and egg sandwiches for the entire barrio

[BoxBuzz]

if you get around to it put some of that ham in a cold wrap and send out to the east coast for me and mine. What's left I'll send over to the Brit's for lunch.

One thing's for sure, The U.S. can and does and likely will continue to feed the world! The American Farmer and Rancher's are still the HW champions of the world in that dept!

[kikibalt]

Hey guys, between the wife and I, plus two dogs, the ham is history...

I love hickory ham & egg sandwiches....

On film sets, the feed us pretty good. The caterer will make us just about anything we want for breakfast, and the caterers are almost always Latino, so a request for menudo, etc. is not out of line, although such an order well usually require a days notice. Personally, if I'm on one of my fitness diets, which is usually always, I'll just eat oatmeal with berries, yogurt, etc. However, if I'm hungry, I like a ham, egg and cheese sandwich.

[Expug]

Ahhh,Ham egg and cheese on an onion roll.Try that one Rick.Its gooood.

I didn't watch it either, Chuck.

Diaz is a strong fighter, but I agree, if he held on to his money, might be a good time to go to school and end up on the top side of the boxing world. He's a tough kid, but just a cut below the class of a Marquez, and JMM is no kid, just a few years short of forty. I Kahn-Marquez fight might be a good one, so long as they make the kid make 135lbs, not Marquez rising to 140. At 135, even a shop worn vet like JMM should stop the kid. Marquez has more left in the tank than did Barrera who took the Kahn fight to make some money. Juan MAnuel Marquez has never gotten the benefit of any breaks, although possibly the best of he, Morales and Barrera who were all contemporaries. He's also the only guy to pierce the armor of the great Manny Pac. He and his younger brother are two of the best to come out of Mexico, two of the best boxers in the world during this era, no doubt.

[Rick Farris]

Ahhh,Ham egg and cheese on an onion roll.Try that one Rick.Its gooood.

Good call, Brian!

I got a feeling that 20-30 years from now JMM is gonna be one of those very underrated guys

I got a feeling that 20-30 years from now JMM is gonna be one of those very underrated guys

Agreed, Remy. His record, longevity, continued success. This guy is a truly great champion.
Always seems he gets the short end of the deal. Overlooked by Morales & Barrera when all were young & strong.
Of the twenty four rounds he fought against Pac-man, he won the majority of those rounds.
He steps way up in weight to win a lightweight title, in his mid-30's, and then jumps to welter to fight Mayweather.
This is a great fighter, in my opinion. His brother is pretty good, as well.

Yeah , he has definatly gotten the gooey end of the stick on a few occasions. He was the mandatory for Prince Nazeem for almost two years. Aswell as Mayweather coming in 2lbs over agreed catchweight

Lets hope he gets a couple of decent paydays and call it quits.

Your right about Prince Naseem. Marquez would have given him a beating.
Marquez may have been the best of Mexico's three best of the time? Which means he's pretty much the best in the world.
Barrera was always a favorite of mine, but Mexico's best would have fought at the Forum when Parnassus was active.
There is no way during the 60's or 70's Morales, Barrera and Marquez wouldn't have been matched.
Parnassus would have had them at The Forum, they'd fight in Mexico City, and they'd all fight each other more than once.
But that was what we came to know. It no longer exists.

Frank . . . Any memories of Johnny Forbes' protege, Mickey Northrup?

[Randyman]

Well guys, it looks like the end of the line for Lucky. We'll be taking her to the vet tomorrow and have her put to sleep. I've held out as long as I could but she is in agony. It's become painful watching her suffer. The medication is no longer helping her.

The family is pretty broken up about this. Jeri is taking it hard. She has been a good and loyal dog. Like one of the kids, a family member. We have been spending the day with her. I think she understands. I feel like I'm betraying her but it would be cruel to let her suffer the way she has been.

It wasn't easy coming to this decision.
