    ....

    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
