Marquez (in his later fights) has shown more of a tendency to want to mix it up & break from his pure boxing mode. This would favor Diaz & give him more of a chance to win. At least a 5-7 chance to be more accurate.
I agree 100 %, Marquez DOES like to mix it UP! If he chooses to simply BOX he could win easily. Simply Circle Diaz, but Marquez is a throw back fighter he wants to brawl. Even given all that and being in Houston I like JMM by decision. This is Marquez's fight to LOSE, he has pretty much EVERY advantage going for him except HOUSTON, Texas.
I do believe he will be dumb enough to TRY and mix it up with Diaz when he could easily do a Nate Campbell, but I see it being more of a mixing it up as not only is it better for us as fight fans but at least gives Diaz a chance to look okay in front of his home crowd.
Remember Nate Campbell OUT CLASSED him, and Nate was never an "Elite" fighter. Nate destroyed Diaz to the Body, and "broke" the baby bulls spirit, which is something he's done to lesser fighters.
