Speaking of Diaz's. Where the hell was Pavlik's cutman Miguel Diaz?


What the hell was Miranda thinking Before the knockout, I thought he looked helluva lot better technically than he has in the past. In retrospect his handlers should have probably waited for another shot at Stieglitz.
Totally agree. Once he was cut, he didn't really continue. He said as much in the post fight presser. He said that he couldn't see out of his right side. In my opinion, Pavlik needs a new trainer.

How tremendous did Bute look? Geez. That upper cut was vicious.
