Handspeed just is so much greater for Rodriguez. But this is the way he starts every fight, he comes back to earth in the later rounds, Diaz providing consistent pressure and still doing good work with the jab even though he's not winning here.

Wow, they are having some spirited exchanges. Good left hook from Diaz and Rodriguz answers with a left hook of his own that puts Diaz on the ropes.

12 rounds this could be a good one.
