Undercard Results from Las Vegas

In a clash of former world title challengers, featherweight Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs) outpointed Jason Sanchez (15-2, 8 KOs) over ten rounds. Scores were 98-92, 97-93, 98-92.

“I can fight at featherweight, or I can make 122 pounds,” said Diaz afterward. “Whatever Top Rank wants, but I’m ready for a big fight in either weight division. I am a completely different and improved fighter from the one who fought Shakur Stevenson last year.

“I worked on my power in the gym. My coaches, Nelson Rodriguez and Freddie Roach, got me ready for tonight. I’m ready for a big fight now. Whether it’s at 126 or 122, I’m ready. This is a new Christopher Diaz.”
