round 8 45 seconds in nothing much yet. Alot of shots blocked. both starting to look tired but Diaz more imo. now when Diaz comes forward linares smothers him so he can't hit. So far Diaz winning round on agression. Linares rips some shots to the body. Linares lands a lead right hand. Linares lands another HUGE lead right hand and KO's DIAZ!!!! amazing.
around 1 min left i think Diaz was more agressive but barely landed clean. Maybe a little at the beggining of rounds 1 and 7. Fact is that Linares was controlling the ring. More accurate as well. Very low punch output but maybe thats why Diaz was getting sloppy and Linares was still sharp. REALLY good fight.
Great punch, but I was disappointed with his performance up until that KO. Linares started real slow. Too defensive the whole fight. Very polished, very fundamentally sound, very patient.. but maybe too patient.. he let Diaz win some rounds due to inactivity
