Peterson vs Diaz - round by round scoring

[John Locke]

Round 9 - Good round, Pete ended strong but Diaz got too much work done earlier. I've got Diaz 6-3 up at this point.

[John Locke]

Round 10 - Diaz. Back to using his legs, landing the cleaner shots from the outside.

[John Locke]

Round 11 - Diaz again, Pete's activity completely dropped.

[John Locke]

Round 12 - clearly Diaz, completely outworked Pete.

I have it 9-3 Diaz, not really a hard fight to score. I don't throw the word 'robbery' around often, but this was as good a case as any. Diaz completely outworked and outboxed Pete, those scorecards were shameful. I don't see any way you can score the fight for Peterson.

Diaz's legs, angles and output was enough to get him a clear win here.

As for the fight this weekend, you guys know I'm not entirely sold on Crawford, but if he can beat Diaz, he gets big props from me and breaks into my top 10 P4P. People are really sleeping on this fight, it's a case of folks just boxrecing Diaz and counting him out, without actually watching him fight. It's crazy how he's a 10/1 underdog.

Haven't rewatched the fight, but this is a fight where Peterson's swarming style didn't make much of an impact compared with the Khan fight, for example. It's an annoying style if you are the opponent. You could see that Diaz was trying to do same, sort of giving back a dose of Lamont's own medicine.

Yeah, Peterson couldn't hang with Diaz in the pocket for too long, which is out of the ordinary for him, inside fighting is usually his bread and butter. Diaz is a really solid, underrated fighter.

I scored it 8-4 at the time for Diaz but will have to rewatch to be sure.

But I will say this Diaz is very much capable of upsetting Crawford but my heart tells me we see Crawford claim his first disputed win this weekend.

Yeah, I can see that happening. If I were confident in fair judging, I would stick a £10 on Diaz, the odds are just too good. But if it's a close fight - and I think it will be - I don't see Diaz getting the decision.

And crying about HBO robbing PBC fighters.


Not enough hype for this fight.

I remember this fight. Had Diaz winning clearly, but a few of the rounds were close. Should be very competitive against Crawford, though his size might be an issue.

[FrankieClutch]

I remember watching the fight the first time. I scored it for Diaz, I just don't remember which rounds. It was clear on my card though
