Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz fought the 2009 fight of the year, an epic slugfest that goes down as a modern classic. Their rematch didn't come close to producing the same kind of fireworks as Marquez shut down his rival with yet another tremendous performance to add to his Hall of Fame-worthy résumé. The judges all had it for Marquez, 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112.
My prediction: Marquez on points.
