Boxing Blogging: Understatement of the Year

ESPN reporting on Jorge Linares' 8th round knockout over Gamaliel Diaz:
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.)
