I say Diaz gets beaten by Marquez in this. Marquez is fighting at his normal weight so I believe he'll be back in form.
Here is a thread were most have already stated what they think is going to happen.

I'm with you... great fight, Marquez is the numero uno punishment soaker in the game. Diaz must have wondered what the fuck he had to do to finish this guy. Personally I'm hoping for the same again. Marquez must get old at some point but really I'm impartial to the result, may the best man win!
I saw that JMM ran into the superior puncher, and he was paid dearly in the fist round, most fighters wouldn't have survived the fist round.
HBO PPV, Sky Sports (UK), 9:00 p.m. Eastern ($49.95), Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Juan Diaz II, Joel Casamayor vs. Robert Guerrero, Jorge Linares vs. Rocky Juarez, Daniel Jacobs vs. Dmitry Pirog. I know there are some people out there who have complained that the headline fight isn't pay per view material, but I laud the card that Golden Boy has put together here, and I encourage people to actually go out and buy it. People complain constantly about crummy undercards - well, this one has four solid fights, all of which are competitive on paper and one of which is a rematch of last year's fight of the year. I won't go into too much detail on the fights themselves, as we'll be having further coverage during the week, but there shouldn't be a blowout fight on this card, and besides the main event that promises to be a war, all of the undercard fights have decent sleeper potential. Particularly intriguing is Jacobs vs. Pirog, a matchup between two very good undefeated prospects, both of whom have the potential to be near the top of the middleweight division for a long time. Win or lose, I expect Pirog to make some new fans, as he has a much more "American" style than most Eastern European fighters
