    Was Juan Diaz exposed?

    Diaz started well, but Campbell executed his plan and did the work to break Diaz's spirit. He connected with the sharper shots too.

    Diaz proved to have great heart and chin but allowed the cut to bother him and distract him too much. Also looked gassed as the fight went on.

    Not sure if I would go so far as to say he was exposed but I always thought that Diaz left his chin too available and if he faced a tough strong willed opponent he would get beat.

        Diaz is on the same path as Fernando Vargas. A young, exciting champ who takes too many punches. He's been forced into fighting too often, too soon. Hopefully he can slow it down and let himself develop physically and mentally and come back strong.

          noooooooooo and so far everyone has been smart enough to see it. Diaz fought very well in the early rounds and was really beating Campbell up.

          he was just tired and was dead in the late rounds. He was getting out fought and repeatedly beat to the punch, and he had no energy left to do anything about it.

            Diaz has a chin ,Vargas never fullfilled his potential cause he had a glass Jaw simple as that

              Campbell was doing a lot of dirty stuff, several head butts, hitting and holding, etc.

              THIS FIGHT DID NOT EXPOSE ANYONE EXCEPT CAMPBELL AS A DIRTY FIGHTER.

                Are you serious? It took a series of vicious shots to put Vargas out until he was too punch drunk to even be in the ring toward the end of his career.

                  As still inexperienced/unseasoned? Yes.

                    I think his weaknesses obviously were. He is a good fighter and has the talent and tools to succeed but i believe his weaknesses in preparations for fights were.

                    No one has ever tested him to this degree and he failed.
