Why doesn't Khan jab and move to his left? Away from the Diaz hook and in the process open up his own right hand?
Round 8 Khan is putting out 1-2s and sliding his feet back. Diaz crowds in and lands a big overhand right followed by a left hook as Khan stays in the pocket with him. Khan backs up and jabs. Right hand by Diaz, nicking Khan ever so slightly. Khan ties up. Double jabs into the air by Khan, circling rapidly to his right and staying beyond Diaz's reach. Right hand up top by Diaz, mild chicken dance by Khan. BODY SHOTS BY DIAZ, rumbling Khan on the ropes. He brings them up to Khan's face. Khan responds with a fully loaded 1-2 to fight his way free. Diaz punctuates the exchange with a left hook. Marcos McDonnell pauses the action and wags a finger in Diaz's face, why!? 10-9 Diaz 77-74 Khan
