Christopher Diaz: Nobody Can Beat Me At 122; Can Be Undisputed Champ There

•Jun 28, 2020

Christopher Diaz has lost only to a current featherweight champion in a 126-pound bout and to a former junior lightweight title-holder in a 130-pound fight. After winning back-to-back bouts at the featherweight limit, the 25-year-old contender is convinced that he can move down and conquer the junior featherweight division. Weighing in at 124¾ pounds for his impressive victory over Jason Sanchez on Tuesday night in Las Vegas encouraged Diaz even more that his next fight should take place at 122 pounds.

Jason Sanchez realized during his recent training camp that he had to be better prepared if Christopher Diaz doesn’t fight him the way Sanchez expects. Sanchez says he wasn’t really ready for Oscar Valdez doing anything other than attacking him and making their bout a brawl. When Valdez, then the WBO featherweight champion, took a more tactical approach to their 12-round, 126-pound title fight, Sanchez couldn’t adjust and lost a lopsided unanimous decision.

Christopher 'Pitufo' Diaz made sure to stay ready for any big opportunity to come his way. At the same time, that was never to be mistaken for accepting just any opportunity. That stance led to his upcoming fight with New Mexico’s Jason Sanchez (15-1. 8KOs), which takes place Tuesday evening live on ESPN (8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT) from MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
