Round 9...

Julio's corner stops the fight. It was inevitable, but I would have liked to see it continue. Juan Diaz wins via TKO.

 

[SugarShane]

Juan Diaz remains undefeated at lightweight. The fight really was not close at all. If Juan had significant power he would have knocked Julio out by the 5th round. As far as a Juan Diaz-Manny Pacqiaou fight I would favor Manny by UD with the possibility of a TKO. Juan is solid, but he makes many mistakes, leaving his body wide open although Manny doesn't do much bodywork.
'
Juan is WBA, WBO, and IBF lightweight champion. I hope you guys enjoy this for the most part. I once again apoligize for the late notice. My next Play-by-play will be Joe Calzaghe vs Mikkel Kessler.

Very nice shane, good to see you step up to the plate, I hope there were a few people who got good out of this. I see no one responded, and thats a shame.........Great work shane:thumbsup:

 

[SugarShane]

Yeah I wasn't busy last night and watched the fight with my girl only, so I just decided to dish one out last minute. If I knew I was going to do a play by play I would have announced it earlier. I really enjoyed the fight last night, but I wanted it to go on longer.

 

[BigDigga]

nice play by play. i watched the fight, but still enjoyed reading it

 

[SugarShane]

Thank you sir. It is hard to do a very detailed, LIVE pbp unless you can type without looking. That was very beneficial last night. I will be doing to Calzaghe-Kessler fight next. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
