Brutality is what brings fans to the game. Savagery is what has made boxing great. It has elegant moments and it has savage moments. But it's still a great game. One on one...it can be beautiful.

Diaz gives back!


Mark Ortega

Former unified lightweight champion of the world, Juan Diaz, who looks to regain that distinction this coming Saturday, took some time to give back to the community of Houston, Texas in the form of a $5,000 donation that was presented alongside Everlast to The Contemporary Learning Center.
The check was presented to the school in a ceremony that Diaz himself attended. An endorser to Everlast, Diaz was also a product of the Contemporary Learning Center and he has often made speaking appearances in order to motivate kids to thrive in education and fitness.

Look for Juan Diaz this coming Saturday as he takes on Juan Manuel Marquez in the headlining bout of HBO’s World Championship Boxing on February 28th to determine who the best 135 pounder in the world is. Also featured is a bout between Indonesian star Chris John and a fellow Texan to Diaz, Rocky Juarez for a John’s WBA featherweight title.
