Francisco Diaz Battle Star XVI November 12 2003 Francisco Diaz (8-1) vs. R. D. Bryan (3-1) This was the best fight of the night – even better than Lane/Ramero because both fighters had quicker/harder punches. I thought Diaz did more each rd but the fight ended in a majority decision for Diaz 59-57 with a 57-57 mixed in. Diaz threw great combinations with speed and power. Battle Star XVII January 28 2004 Francisco Diaz (9-1) vs. Donny McCrary (4-0) Diaz won a high quality 1st rd. Lots of punches thrown by both fighters and lots of punches landed. The 2nd rd was going along fine until a devastating Left-Hook to the body put Donny down for an 8 count. There was debate around me whether it was low or not. Even if it was low, it appeared to be on the side not "in the middle". Francisco put McCrary down again with, this time, a more clear low-blow. It took another low-blow before the ref finally saw one. This time Diaz was warned. From this point on, the two fighters traded shots with Diaz landing cleaner shots. Diaz won a unanimous decision. Francisco did not seem to have much power on his shots or Donny has a really good chin. Clash of the Titans June 30 2004 NABC Midwest Middleweight Title Francisco Diaz (11-1,6 KO) vs. Mike Stone (10-1,8 KO) The fight started out with both fighters throwing punches then Diaz landed a thunderous Left Hook to the head. Stone did manage to return to his feet but his equilibrium did not return with him. That ended this promising fight with a TKO victory at 1:16 of the first round. One thing is for sure - Diaz has a powerful Left Hook. SHOBOX: The New Generation September 2 2004 Francisco Diaz (12-1, 7 KO's) vs. Guadalupe Martinez (13-0, 9 KO's) This was one action packed fight
from start to finish. It had to be exactly what Showtime would want in
a televised fight. Two talented fighters giving their all. One staking
claim as the "The New Generation" as is the purpose of SHOBOX: The New
Generation.
