As I told Donny, I was under the impression up until 4 hours prior to the fight that Juan Diaz was in fact fighting David Diaz and not Kidd Diaz.:doh: :: I expected to see a looping Southpaw...imagine my suprose to see the slick boxing Julio instread! Duhhhhh! :doh: Let me just thank the Stinger as through his efforts I know at least one, and probably the most talented Diaz in the division, by first name. This is more invaluable than it may first appear as I learned. I think what confused me was that the fight was in Chicago, the place where David Diaz fights out of.
As I was writing my post-fight report, I went back and referenced the round-by-round I kept throughout the fight. It was then that I noticed the two dozen or so times where I simply put Diaz rather than Juan or Julio :doh: ... luckily it was one-sided enough to where it wasn't that difficult to decipher. Still, it's tough in sport where fighters are most often referred to by last name.
