Torres' perfect record looks nice until you realize that there's a reason you've probably never seen him box: all but one of his fights have been in Tacoma, Washington, with the best opposition he's faced being Robert Frankel and Marteze Logan. Torres lost about 3 rounds against Frankel, and he would have gotten a majority draw with Logan if Logan hadn't been deducted a point for a low blow in the final round. Meanwhile, Diaz is a legitimate contender, although he will never be considered an elite-level fighter. Still, he's KO'd better fighters than Torres (Miguel Huerta, Ernesto Zepeda), and Torres will be coming right at him. Considering the difference in skill level combined with the fact that Torres will be there to be hit, I think that Diaz will likely end the fight early with some punishing combinations. Also, I'm not too concerned about this weight issue because I don't see the fight lasting long enough for Diaz's endurance to become a factor.
Note: Bodog just came out with their lines, putting this one at even for the moment. I know that it's already up to -125 at 5dimes, so grab it before it gets even more inflated.
