Joseph Diaz

That's all history he's going to remember.

So now Alexis Rocha has Jojo Diaz, former champion and Olympian, and now Ramirez, a former champion and an Olympian.

I guess that's one

way to look at it.

You know what I mean? You're doing your thing.

Then you run into JoJo Diaz.

Yeah.

And you lose to JoJo with about two or three points to end up making the team.

Well, I think people forget, too, that the right hand had a lot of damage done to it over the last five years.

Remember he had surgery, I think it was 2022 maybe, before he was supposed to fight JoJo Diaz.

It cracked, and he had to have surgery on it, a- and it, it, I would imagine, and he's said as much, but it made him more reticent to let that right hand go.

So now that it's fully healthy and he's willing to let it go, he's shown there's real power in that right hand, and if you're an opponent of Ryan Garcia, you know, it's one thing to come into the fight saying, like, "I'm gonna have my right hand up the entire time to block that left hook." Now you gotta have both hands up, and you gotta be evasive with your head movement in order to stay away from that right hand as well.

C- when you said C-level fighter, I'm like, "Oh my God, that's harsh," but I'm like, "No, it's actually..." The Prograde fight was, was, was bad.

Prograde was halfway out the door, didn't wanna fight anymore, had b- just been dropped by Haney, Catterall, had a life and death fight with Jojo Diaz, who's a 130-pounder, and then Ben couldn't put him down.

Like where, where's this vaunted power? And he just looked slow, and he looked slow again last night.

It's just, uh, I, I mean, yeah.

He was half-retired in that fight, and he kind of said that.

You know, he had no legs, and a guy who had been dropped by Haney, a guy who went to absolute war, almost getting stopped by Jojo Diaz, who's really a 30-pounder who hasn't won a fight in a number of years, to getting dropped by Catterall, like...

All these guys that are not punchers put Progray on the canvas, and Ben couldn't.

And you got to blame the weight for that because we saw him on the scale, and then we saw the performance.

And it encompasses both retired boxers and world champions.

You know, like you're talking Lee Selby, Jojo Diaz, Yuriy Kisgamboa.

Big, big time, right? Then you couple it with the fact that we're also coalescing and we're bringing in younger boxers.

fighters that are still in their prime and still going after gloved opportunities with Amado Vargas and Fernando Vargas Jr.

That is going to be a great fight.

And then we've added also David Winarowski from Scotland.

We've added Jojo Diaz from the USA, Adele Altamimi from the USA.

So we're giving exposure to our American fighters.

And you beat Regis Progre.

But look, being honest, I thought you'd beat him cleaner, because I thought Regis, I'd called Regis' fight against Jojo Diaz the fight before.

I thought you would clean his clock.

And I attributed some of that to the weight, that you hadn't been down in these lower weight classes.
