On April 23, fans will be treated to another exciting title fight. Because of the non-stop punching styles of both fighters, this one is guaranteed to entertain.
WBA champion Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz will be making his third defense of his title against the very tough Ebo Elder. Neither fighter has that one-punch-KO-power, but both are strong fighters that put their punches together in combinations.
Because Elder is a southpaw and Diaz fights in the orthodox stance, there may be a lot of head colliding. Since Elder tends to square himself up … and Diaz tucks himself in the pocket … I think Ebo Elder may end up getting the worst of it. This one is going to be bloody.
I would have to give the edge to the Champion Juan Diaz for being the harder puncher of the two, especially in terms of a body attack. I also think his defensive skills are a little better than Elder.
Ebo Elder is also coming off of a very tough fight against Courtney Burton, this was a huge upset against the very talented Courtney Burton that granted Ebo this title shot. In that fight, Ebo took as many punches as well as he received. Personally, I think it’s a little too soon to put him in with another volume puncher like Juan Diaz.
I would have to pick Diaz with an ugly late round TKO stoppage of Elder. (The ref better stay on top of this one.)
