Boxing - Weights from Primm
Julio "The Kidd" Diaz comes in with a record of 36-6 (26 KOs) and is returning after his announcement of retirement following a fnf defeat to Victor Cayo. Diaz has fallen a long way since being one of the three Diaz's to own a lightweight strap in 2007. He is no longer able to make lightweight limit and has lost his last two in a row.
Herman Ngoudjo has a pro record of 18-3 (10 KOs). Who has two losses that were close enough to swing his way (against Malignaggi and JLC) was absolutely battered by Urango, even though he saw the final bell he was in a world of hurt. He is coming off of a win in February against Silverio Ortiz who had a lot of talent and was highly touted as a prospect 8 years ago, has overtime become very much a stepping stone opponent.
I expect to see Ngoudjo take this on the cards, while I think Diaz is the better boxer (I very much consider Ngoudjo a one-trick pony) I question Diaz's gas tank.
My prediction Ngoudjo UD
