An all out war” the announcers yell at the end of round one, both boxers slugging away until the sound of the bell. The capacity crowd witnessed two warriors standing toe to toe in a Texas slugfest.
The Baby Bull Diaz looked in great form against the veteran fighter and former champion Juan Manuel Marquez. A flurry of combinations followed by powerful left hooks, the baby bull kept coming.
Diaz brought blood above the eye of Marquez at the end of the 5th. Marquez seemed to adjust to the aggression in the 8th and a powerful uppercut brought the blood to the face of the baby bull.
Diaz goes down in the 9th by a strong uppercut and makes it to his feet to continue for more abuse from Marquez until the final uppercut that lands the baby bull to the mat for good. Juan Manuel Marquez (54-1-36 KO’s) became the WBA/ WBO/ IBO Unified Lightweight Champion of the World.
Juan (the Baby Bull) Diaz gave a great performance and moves to (34-2-0-17KO’s) A great night of Championship Boxing from HBO
