Rematch

December 12, 2009
UIC Pavillion, IL
12 Round Junior Welterweight Fight
The highly anticipated rematch between former three-time lightweight world champion Juan "The Baby Bull" Diaz (35-3-0, 17 KOs) and former junior welterweight world champion Paulie "Magic Man" Malignaggi (27-3-0, 5 KOs) were featured Saturday in Chicago at the UIC Pavilion.

Their first encounter was in August and resulted in a controversial unanimous decision win for Diaz in his hometown, Houston. This time around, they did battle in neutral territory and Malignaggi boxed his way to a unanimous decision, snatching DiazÂ’ NABO junior welterweight title.
