IT was his poor conditioning. Green beat himself.. watch the whole fight and Diablo didnt do anything special... Low workrate, lack of aggression as always..
He should give Palacios another shot cuz he didnt win that fight as far as im concerened.
Don't be mad you were wrong, Finito. Hopefully, you didn't wager on it. Diablo predicted exactly that Green wasn't a real cruiserweight and that he would take him into the later rounds and knock him out, which is what happened. Green mostly outboxed Diablo, but like I said I had Diablo winning three rounds going into the 10th, but all that running from Diablo and taking Diablo's harder punches took their toll and Green gassed. There was a point in the middle rounds, maybe the 5th, where Green connected on Diablo and Diablo was wobbled a bit, but Diablo reacted like a cagey veteran in great shape and got himself out of trouble. Huck ko's Diablo. Cunningham beats Diablo. Hernandez beats Diablo. If Jones would fight every ten years, he'd beat Diablo. Lebedev ko's him brutally. However, Diablo is a legitimate cruiserweight who now has wins over Cunningham, Fragomenni, and Green. Not a half-bad cruiserweight resume.
