Round 6

Lartey is loping sideways after Diaz, lifting the right glove off his trunks but not snapping out the jab as Diaz circles at distance, occasionally jumping in with combos and clasping onto Lartey before springing out again. Diaz leads Lartey on a casual stroll around the ring, jabbing up to draw Lartey's counter jab and slipping it, then scooting in with a couple of shorter jabs on the face.

Lartey is waving the right hook and falling short. Diaz crouches in, jabs up at Lartey, pokes with the left hand, and lets himself get swallowed into a clinch. Diaz is smothering himself throwing overhands climbing up Lartey's chest. Long right jabs by Lartey on the outside, Diaz using head movement and sitting back to avoid them.

Round 8

Lartey is waiting on Diaz, posing. Diaz circles outside, changing directions, and flies in to flap a right jab in Lartey's face. Left hand by Lartey, skidding over Diaz's back as Diaz chops roundhouse at Lartey's ribs and holds. Sloppy action. Break ordered. Lartey pokes out a right jab, missing as Diaz jerks back and skips away. Diaz throws an overhand left off the ropes, too short. WILD looping left by Lartey, missing.

SD for Felix Diaz

 

Alexei Collado vs. Rod Salka, 10 rounds @ lightweight

 

Collado has sixteen kayos in eighteen tries.

Salka has three in twenty-one...suggesting he won't have the power to keep the Irish-based Cuban prospect at bay. (though he did acquit himself well in his controversial MD loss to Canelo's brother Ricardo Alvarez)

 

All depends on the mood/mentality of Collado IMO, does he still have that hunger he had when he first burst onto the scene? Keep me posted on this one
