MARQUEZ VS. DIAZ II POST-FIGHT QUOTES

MARQUEZ VS. DIAZ II POST-FIGHT QUOTES

JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ

“I am willing to fight anybody.  I am proud of my performance. Juan Diaz is a tremendous fighter.  He came with a different game plan. Whatever is in store for me next, I will train hard and come to fight.

“In the first fight, Juan Diaz came forward. He pressed the fight. He was aggressive.  Diaz was thinking more this time.  He boxed more.  The fight was a bit more technical, and I am happy with my performance.

“One of the [next] challenges is to move up to 140 and become the first Mexican fighter in boxing history to win four titles in four divisions.

“Age doesn’t matter, when you prepare yourself the way I do, age doesn’t matter.”

JUAN DIAZ

“It really touched my heart that so many people care about me as a person and boxer.

“Tonight was not my night.  Juan Manuel Marquez is a great fighter. He is a future Hall of Famer and it was an honor to be in the ring with him again.
