On the undercard, Jorge Linares retained his WBC featherweight title by stopping Gamaliel Diaz in the eighth round.
Linares (25-0, 16 KOs) had Diaz down and nearly out in the fourth round but Diaz fought back gamely. The Venezuelan put Diaz down again with a right hand late in Round 8 and this time, Diaz could not beat the count.
Here's the video of the knockout (it's at about 1:50):
"Could not beat the count"? Ummm, yeah, I'd say so!

Yeah: The ref counted to 1. I have no idea why he even bothered to do THAT. (Hello, sir. Tim from mvn.com/boxing here.)
Hey Tim -- yeah, I read your old 7 punch combo blog too. Congrats on the promotion!
