After a heavy loss to Ryan Garcia last December, Oscar Duarte found redemption with a nine round victory over Joseph Jojo Diaz at the Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California. The win helped his career as he defeated the former world champion and 2012 US Olympian. However, boxing fans are worried about the future of Joseph Diaz after his recent defeat, and believe that this could be a major setback for his career. This concern is not completely wrong, as JoJo has lost 4 of his last 5 fights.
It’s fair to say that Joseph Diaz didn’t appreciate that comment, and then took offense to one of the greatest boxing reporters in the world for trying to express that opinion. Diaz showed confidence in his answer and mentioned the problems that boxers face in every fight in their career. So what exactly is he talking about?
JoJo denies allegations made by a former ESPN reporter
Legendary boxing journalist Dan Rafael said after losing to Oscar Duarte on Saturday, Joseph Diaz has few options left and his career is currently in jeopardy. Rafael gave sharp comments about the former super featherweight champion’s performance in X, “I will be back,” said Jojo Diaz in a post-fight interview. For him now. Unable to make it to 135, Duarte is past 138, 140 and not coming down.
Those words caught the boxer’s attention and he responded quickly. He wrote, “God will make a way for me”. I pray for your soul. May God bless you. Hopefully you can get all the processed food out of your system to help you understand what a boxer does…no boxing experience, no athletic experience, no hand massage machine just. Looking for a way out, nothing could stop him from leaving the sport.
JoJo Diaz said in his post-fight interview “I’ll be back.” Not sure what there is for him at this point. Can’t make 135, outclassed by Duarte at 138, no future at 140. https://t.co/JpNY4UIzVg
