DIAZ UPSETS AO

This content is protected

Mexican veteran Gamaliel Diaz (37-9-2, 17 KOs), 130, captured the WBC super-featherweight belt as he scored with long rights　to bloodied defending champ Takahiro Ao (23-3-1. 10 KOs), 130,　with better precision to win a close but unanimous decision over twelve gory rounds on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. Gamaliel Diaz, 31, might have already passed his peak, but the Mexican veteran displayed his best from the spiritual—if not technical—viewpoint. His punches lacked snap, sharpness and power, but had better judgment of distance against the willing mixer. He often caught Ao’s face with long rights that weren’t strong but effective enough to impress the judges. Ao sustained a gash over the left eyebrow caused by an accidental butt, which kept streaming more blood as the contest progressed.

 

you made that up just now! :bart
(nice photoshopping by the way)






Seriously, I didn't see that one coming. I expected a couple of fights today going the way of the underdog, but not this one.

 

Haha, I wonder if anybody got this one right :think

 

That would actually surprise me as muchas the result

Aoh wasn't ever that great a champion, guys...

 

Hey Rob/Dan/etc. - might one or more of you guys be able to possibly helm the HBO BAD and/or Marquez vs. Mijares RBR?

The former goes on air at 10:15pm EST - we'll say if I haven't got a thread up by 9:55 it means I'm not around tonight.

Thanks.

 

:hand

 

I will take European RbR's of your hand whenever needed and possible IB, but not the ones at 4/5am in the morning... I'm happy to stay awake at that time.

 

Thanks dude, you got Boschiero vs. De Vitis then?

 

Italian card? Sure, no problem :good

 

What time does Boschiero start.....

 

about 10 minutes from now

 

Thanks.
