Since I've never taken shots from world class welterweight punchers that are in their prime, I won't say that Diaz took a dive. In 3 rounds he took some mean ass shots including a vintage Mortal Kombat style uppercut from that nikka.
Diaz was also sounding like he had trouble speaking in the post fight interview. Dude was sounding all out of breath and shyt. I think he was legit hurt.
I don't think he took the type of beating that Alvarado and Dawson got from Prov and Ward when they decided they had enough, but he was beaten worse than Zab was when he quit against Khan.
Biggest difference is Diaz was a career lightweight with mad years on him taking these shots.
It was just another impressive win from team #Thurminator where chins (or bodies) get destroyed and nikkas catch feelings afterwards.
I think I gotta do what I did for team #StevensonSuperMen and bang out a theme song for Mr. One Time
