Diaz' manager files protest

[MentalExecution]

I like DIaz and his team but they need to stop crying over the loss. You lost because you got beaten by the better more intellegent man. Just ask for the rematch in the states and well gon on from there. This is disgusting, WIllie and Diaz need to stop ruining their credibility.

[Texanballer]

what a load of crap, both sides didn't have the drug test, and this is just a way to weasel out of a ass whoopin loss.

so what if campbell is 36 and he fought like he was the younger fighter, WHAT THAT CAN'T HAPPEN IN LIFE???!?!?!?! give me a ****ing break, there are plenty of people and fighters out there who perform better as they get older, campbell didn't even become pro until he was 27 or something like that, maybe even older, so what is the deal, the guy is a gym rat and is always around his fighting weight.

diaz got beat at his own game and now they're going to try and claim since the older fighter fought like the fresher fighter he was using drugs?? they're going to basically say that it is impossible for someone to be older and to beat a younger fighter????? WTF........ these guys are delusional.

and diaz's people are saying that they took an independent drug test before the fight and after, who cares, how can anyone believe that those results are fair and on the up and up. those could've been forged, those test could've been tampered since they weren't done by the sanctioning bodies. independent or private tests mean **** unless under the watchful eye of the governing bodies.

plus, from what i have read, no one on that fight card got drug tested, in all the fights, until that has been proven or dis proven, they can't say ****.

like i was telling my friends, diaz's people could be calling steroids because diaz was on steroids and they didn't work or pay off for him, so now they're trying to say that they took their own private tests and so they're all cleared, bull****, i think they're the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK to be honest.

i really think that if diaz was in a true mexican warrior spirit he would be screaming rematch instead of over turning or over ruling the fight.

fight campbell again, quit bitching, and stopping ruining your character, diaz.

i'm sure that don king has made things tough, but seriously he couldn't get away with fixing just one fight not having a drug test while every other fighter on the fight card had to take one, bull****, and if he did pull some bull**** it wouldn't be the fighters fault, you couldn't blame campbell or diaz or anyone for not taking a drug test, the people in charge have to administer it, and that doesn't prove that anyone took anything in the first place just because a test wasn't taken.

another thing, about campbell, the way he responded is the response that you would here from someone who was innocent or didn't do what he is being accused of, just by the fact that he said , i'll take a drug test right now, and i will fight that kid again immediately.....................

that sounds like someone with something to prove, diaz doesn't even want to fight again, he want it over turned by ALL sanctioning bodies, bogus.

once again, Juan Diaz has not said anything, everything said has been from his manager. Bash Savannah not Diaz

Im sure he could tell his team to shut up.

[Ray*]

Am bash all of them (Team diaz) all of them included savannah..diaz all of them, All they need to do is ask for a rematch..Why question campbell's age??? was he the first 36yr old to beat a younger fighter or something?? I just dont get it.

[deuce_drop]

once again, Juan Diaz has not said anything, everything said has been from his manager. Bash Savannah not Diaz

i bash both, diaz's manager is his mouth piece, he doesn't say whatever he has been saying without his fighter at least knowing about it, he has to get his approval.

like diaz doesn't know that is going on............laughable.

[Ray*]

Im sure he could tell his team to shut up.

Exactly he could tell them to STFU but he obviously havent...So to the people who were trying to make diaz the saint out of all of this **** you, What about campbell who had to train harder at 36 and you guy were trying to take away from him what he rightfully earn in the ring.

And that cut was slightly started with a headbutt but a punch from Campbell ripped it apart so theres nothing to complain about there.

yeah just to touch on the cut too, and i'm not saying anything towards you, i'm responding to what diaz's people have said about the cut and the stuff surrounding it.

they cut no matter where it came from that is what you get when you have two guys standing head to head toe to toe fighting in the trenches, it's a rough and tumble fight and headbutts are going to happen, regardless of what you do, unless you stay on the outside and fight, but if you're on the inside, then be prepared to get cut.
another thing i wasn't all too keen on with diaz's people was they're were trying to get the fight stopped because of the cut and try and win on the cards, what bull****, they knew that diaz was getting handled and that they were looking for a way out!!!!!!!

[-X-]

Its obvious to me that Campbell was juicing you guys can believe what you want.

So i just picked up the chronicle and see this article, i looked on the chonicle website and its there, thought i'd share it.

Savannah says rules were broken in Cancun, calls for fighter's loss to be ruled a no-contest

Manager Willie Savannah has filed a protest with the World Boxing Association and World Boxing Organization on behalf of Juan Diaz following his lightweight championship loss one week ago in Cancun, Mexico.

Savannah contends neither Diaz nor Nate Campbell, who won a split decision, was given the mandatory pre- or post-fight drug tests at the Plaza de Toros. In addition, the protest claims head-butts by Campbell in the first and sixth rounds were responsible for opening a deep gash over Diaz's left eye.

Savannah is requesting the WBO and WBA declare the outcome "no contest" and that Diaz be permitted to retain those two championship belts.

"If they would have acknowledged the head-butts and stopped the fight in the sixth round, Juan would have won because he was way ahead on the scorecards," Savannah said. "Those head-butts affected him the rest of the way and threw him off his game.

"Also, there was so much bull going on down there with Don King all week long that you can't trust anything that happens. How can you have a championship fight and no drug tests? That means anything can happen. That's King. He's the one who promoted the fight. He's the one who set up everything."

Don King Productions had no comment.

The week leading up to the fight was contentious. As King's four-fight contract to promote Diaz was running out, King originally wanted an extension. When Savannah refused to extend the deal, King announced at a midweek news conference that he was "quitting Juan Diaz."

King had posters displayed at the weigh-in Friday that made disparaging remarks about Savannah.

"When all that stuff started to go on down there, I knew there was going to be some kind of funny stuff if Juan didn't knock the guy out," Savannah said.

"Now he loses to a guy who threw more punches at age 36 than he ever did at 26, and there are no drug tests anywhere?"

Savannah said he "took Juan for an independent drug test before we left Houston and took him again for another test as soon as we got home."

According to Savannah, there also were no drug tests done following the WBC heavyweight title fight when Samuel Peter stopped Oleg Maskaev in the sixth round.

On basis of rules broken i'd have to agree with him. Let's see what happens. I dont know about no contest, but immediate rematch i think is possible by the governing bodies

Willie and Juan are little bitches. I knew Juan was a fraud. Nate should deny him their ***** asses the rematch.

I can't stand when ***** ass fighters cry after losing like Oscar's cross dressing ass against Shane. The *** said "my lawyers will be investigating. What a little snatch.....
