I like the fact that they didn’t sugarcoat what happened in both fights…
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
Diaz-Malignaggi might be the winner for Most Surprising Big Fight of 2009. I thought that fight (while a fine matchup) had little going for it, plus it was buried in August, which is traditionally a dead boxing month, but it did good TV numbers and then of course after the fight, it was a big deal not just in boxing, but as a sports story period. The rematch has plenty of good buzz already. Who’da thunk it?
