or loaded gloves? :: Former two-time world title challenger Hermann Ngoudjo suffered more than just a defeat at the hands of Julio Diaz in Primm Nevada Friday night; the super-lightweight contender suffered both a broken jaw and broken orbital bone that required medical attention following the fight.
It is pretty surprising. One thing I'll give Diaz credit for, he always bounces back with a surprise performance after he looks done. He looked completely shot in the Juan Diaz fight. Still... he aint goin nowhere at 140.
Oh so I guess the Mayweather mentality is catching on. Of someone seems too good to be true, they MUST be on roids!
not an impressive win by any standards. herman ngoudjo is not very good to begin with, and he has slipped quite a bit since giving a good effort vs. a wornout jl castillo. diaz would get his ass kicked and stopped by any of the title holders at 140.
I didn't knew Diaz was capable of breaking a bone in his life. He didn't seemed like a hard puncher at all. And he just broke Ngoudjo's jaw and orbital bone.
Ngoudjo had clearly shown in the Urango fight that he had nothing left, and the physical beating he took in that fight probably didn't help any in the Diaz fight. This fight was meant to provide the illusion that the winner still had something left, but in fact neither really does, especially at 140.
Julio Diaz has always been a hard puncher. And more importantly, he's always had good hand-speed. He was weight-drained for much of his time at 135.,
