.... I only managed to catch the 5th round, Diaz stops Zappavinga after taking a huge right hand. Diaz now becomes the number 1 contender for IBF Lightweight title to face Miguel Vazquez
I remember ppl were claiming this guy was some beast at lightweight and he was much better then katsidis the only comparison between him and katsidis is that they share a common heritage, the kid should retire before he seriously hurts himself, hes going to end up like his pal willie kicket
People are really slating Zappa now but Im still a big fan. Like has been said hes only 23, plenty of time to develop. Hes never going to be a master boxer but hes fun to watch and in my opinion, will go on to be better than Katsidis. I havent seen this fight but the Vasquez fight isnt that bad. Vasquez was always going to be a stylistic nightmare for Zappa and would imo, be capable of causing an upset against Rios. Granted, Diaz is a lower level and shouldnt be beating Zappa but theres still plenty of time for him to come again
i can remember watching a video on youtube about the best up an coming light weights in the world, it mostly involved amir khan but also zappavigna, yuri romanov (god knows where he went???) and some mexican kid with pink/red hair? i cant for the life of me remember his name?
