Joseph Pedroza Diaz Jr. vs. Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov & Patrick Teixeira vs. Brian Carlos Castaño RBR.

Diaz won for me.

 

115-113 Jojo diaz

 

A classic “activity” vs “cleaner punching”. It all depends on what the judges favor.

 

We have three California judges here. Diaz is the local fighter. Promoted by GBP. The fight is close. Hard to see Rakhimov getting the nod here. Diaz has this.

 

Had Diaz 9-12.
Gave him the first couple.

Gonna be very tight.

 

1. 10-9 Diaz
2. 10-9 Diaz
3. 10-9 Rakhimov
4. 10-9 Rakhimov
5. 10-9 Rakhimov
6. 10-9 Rakhimov, a little close
7. 10-9 Diaz, close
8. 10-9 Ralhimov
9. 10-9 Diaz
10. 10-9 Diaz
11. Honestly I got distracted.
12. 10-9 Diaz

Splitting round 11, I have it 115-114 Diaz which feels Diaz friendly to me.

 

**** Chris Mannix! Diaz teeing off and he stayed in rakhimov nuts

 

I got it a draw but have no problems with either fighter getting the win but if you put a gun to my head I'd say Jojo by 1

 

Rakhimov - Diaz

1: 9:10
2: 9:10
3: 10:9
4: 10:9
5: 10:9
6: 10:9
7: 10:9
8: 10:9
9: 9:10
10: 9:10
11: 10:9
12: 10:9

116-112 Rakhimov

 

Could go either way depending what the judges like. Jo Jo had some crisp shots, Rakhimov had good combos and finished strong, but was the one moving back.

 

I don't understand what was missing for Rakhimov to maintain control there.

 

I saw it 115-113 Rakhimov, with the 12th being the deciding round... Jo-Jo fought well at the end but he had too much ground to make up after Rakhimov's strong start.
