That's horrible. I wasn't really watching to be honest. I was watching Toney/Rahman and even before that I was just watching bits and pieces of that one. At one point around the ninth when I was actually watching Diaz was moving backwards and not doing much and it seemed to me that at that point there was no real reason for the fight to go on since he wasn't gonna win the fight that way but I didn't realize he was taking that kind of a beating. Hopefully things work out as well as possible.
Did anybody who was watching the fight close see this coming? I remember the George Jones-Beethaven Scotland fight on ESPN 2 years ago and really being worried about Scotland rounds before the tragedy happened, and same with Chavez-Leevander Johnson. I didn't notice Diaz taking that kind of punishment but like I said I wasn't watching closely.
