Im up to the 6th round and have it level, I can see why many will disagree with me and have Diaz winning clearly but i like Marquezs counter punching but listening to the Setanta commentators you would think its one way traffic with Diaz kicking Marquezs ass not the way i see it at all.
Diaz was winning. Infact he was winning the round he got knocked out in. Marquez had no answer for Diaz jab, it got through every time. But then he found the uppercut up the middle that Diaz couldnt adjust to, and with a great operater like Marquez finds a weakness, its curtains.
I was supporting Marquez but I had the impression it was something like 4-2 for Diaz. Than maybe it was the commentator. But my impression was that Marquez was sometimes in trouble and the baby bull was very active.
I cant remember my score card. I have only watched the whole fight once and the only round I've really watched since was the 9th. During the fight you are a little too caught up in the action to properly analyze. But I had the feeling Diaz was winning, it was close but Diaz was winning. I remember getting really exciting like "go Diaz you got his ass" in the 9th, then the knockout came, and its like "****" the HBO announcers were kind of the same I beleive. they were bigging up Diaz when he got knocked out. Nobody knew how badly those punches were actually hurting baby bull, he didnt show it.
