I was pulling for Diaz. Have been a supporter for a while now. Love his story, work ethic and to watch him fight. I was really looking for the real JD to show up after being smashed by a much bigger, stronger and veteran Galaxy Warrior (who apparently is so much bigger - he can't even come close to makin' that weight when IBF, WBA, WBO titles are on the line) - we'll he did show up, but unfortunately so did JMM. Most entertaining fight I've seen all year and although the announcers thought Diaz was bigger and stronger than JMM, I didn't. I thought he had a shot of outworking JMM and being able to finish him off in the later rounds once he was tired. It seemed to be working until the middle of the fight. Diaz had JMM punching and getting hit more than he EVER has, but JMM started to look like he was gaining ground and man did he ever!!! If Diaz had more experience, he would have said "What the hell." and tried to bang when he was hurt. Manny Stewart called it immediately after Diaz was down the first time, saying 'it's over. . .he's done" which really shocked me, because he didn't seem done. He continued by saying that Diaz "doesn't know how to hold" so he would get stopped. Did he ever. Hat's off to both of these fighters and the largest paid gate for a boxing match EVER in the state of Texas sure got their money's worth. Diaz is a smart person and I hope that he learns from this.
Floyd, another big money fight out there for you. . . he's asking for it.
