He could have been hitting Diaz with counter right hands all night, but he slips, gets an angle and throws a 1-2. When he mixes it up, he's so much more effective.
I thought the same thing, not enough variety in his punches, he aint got the power to trouble guys enough with say uppercuts and hooks because they will take the shot and fire back. So he sticks to straight shots.
