This is so sad, I hope he is better soon, David a class act and a true student of boxing, he knows the sport very very well. I will be praying to god for him tonight.

DD is the "Best" ring announcer in the Game 2day.
(Not named Jimmy Lennon Jr.)

Buff is a part timer now.

He is most underrated, people don't know that he has actually been doing this much longer than they think and is a true student of the sport

Terrible news. Hope he recovers.

He's an interesting man, though a bit of a strange character.

Here's a long in depth interview for anyone interested.

dude mentioned big boys, faith, void, gbh, the business...i was interested in what this guy had to say before that. i can relate to this dude as someone being into boxing and hc/punk. i know theres some people on here that are into it. there's a lot of punk and hardcore kids who love boxing. boxing is an outlet for a lot of us, we all have more things in common than people think. we all live a rough life that you need something to latch onto and take your aggression out on. great interview

I beg to differ. Motocycles are very dangerous especially when on the streets with automobiles. Most of the time it's not distracted people behind the wheels a of cars that cause the problems, it's the idiots on those crotch rockets weaving in and out of traffic during 120 mph on packed streets that are the idiots. People in the cars never see them coming.

“In multiple vehicle accidents, 2/3 of the accidents are caused by the other vehicle violating the motorcycle's right-of-way.

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision.

The average speed of a motorcycle prior to an accident is 29.8 mph, 21.5 mph at the time of impact, and in only 1/1000 of cases is speed approximately 86 mph at the time of impact.”

I know it sounds bad but it should heal quickly in saltwater same as Pacquiao's shoulder. I'm more worried about him catching covid in the hospital than I am about his recovery. If Adonis Stevenson and Errol Spence can recover so well from their injuries, then David Diamante's will hopefully recover 100% and not have anything to worry about long term except the possibility of catching covid. I hope he was wearing a mask when the other guy ran into him because that usually means it was less than six feet. But hopefully maybe it was the back of a long truck or something that hit his motercycle this time, because then the driver would be more than six feet away. But if it was a normal car or even a normal truck, then it was probably less than six feet. Hopefully it's part of the hospital's procedure now to send nurses out to the scene of the accident to measure the distance between the people in the vehicles at the time of the collision, and if he did have exposure to another **** sapien, to test 5 times a day for the next 72 hours.

If he's truly injured though, then of course I hope he recovers. There have just been so many questionable covid positives and one-in-a-billion injuries in boxing lately that it's made me a bit of a skeptic. I'm starting to wonder if a lot of it is fake and just for the press. Of course I realize that would have to mean some doctors are lying too, and falsifying records, but nothing would shock me in 2022. And who is really left these days to keep watch about what documents are real, and which are fake, anyway? If no one is enforcing the law anyway for some classes of people, then those people would have no reason (other than ethics) not to break the law in the first place.

I don't mean David Diamante in this case, but just in general, it could be any celebrity and I would question if the latest big celebrity soap opera event is actually true, or just for the press. Sometimes I make jokes that riff of this skepticism, that are intended to say, "always keep an open mind until you have all the facts and you can confirm them for yourself." I'm definitely not assuming anything for certain one way or another, but I maintain a healthy skepticism.

Lets hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.
