Juan Diaz outpointed Michael Katsidis via split decision in an oddly scored bout.....odd in that Juan dominated the fight and left Katdisis' face mangled beyond repair. Hard to believe one of the judges saw Kats winning the fight....ah boxing. you gotta love it. Anyway, the SD screws me out of 2 points in the fantasy league (using the modified B Whit System)! However, this cements Diaz's return to the lightweight elite. He will likely get another big name fight next.
More on that later. here is the ESPN story (of course not on the front page...but the UFC card is).
In the HBO lidlifter, Rocky Juarez stopped Jorge Barrios in the 11th round thanks to another gruesome cut, which appeared to be a big tear in Barrios' upper lip. Eww. I'll take a pic of my TV with his face on there, thats the best I can do.
In other lightweight news, one of the top prospects in all of boxing, British lightweight Amir Khan was knocked out in under a minute, suffering his first pro career defeat. Huge upset in the boxing world. This would be like the Rams beating the Eagles on Sunday. here is the Khan fight in its entirety.
