"I'm going to knock [Vazquez] out. I know that the Mexican has studied my fights and thinks that I'm just going to stick with the right hand, but I honestly tell you that my left hand has put more than four boxers to sleep. I've studied Vasquez and honestly I hope that he stops [moving around the ring] and fights me like a man," Diaz said.
