S³ Analysis

Diaz was in complete control for the first five rounds, winning every round on all three judges' scorecards. Teran showed the importance of staying dangerous, as one sequence in the sixth round completely changed the outcome.

The biggest point of debate isn't who was winning - it was whether the referee stopped the fight too quickly. With Diaz leading 50-45 on every scorecard, the sixth-round stoppage is likely to remain one of the most controversial moments of the Zuffa Boxing 08 event.
