Haven’t watched “El Vaquero” since he thumped Dogboe in their rematch a couple of years ago - he’s improved.
Has a little “Salvador Sanchez” in him - uses that insane reach to deliver unexpected punches from funky angles.  And they land...  That knockdown in the 4th with an awkward lead uppercut was Roy Jones-esq...  Can’t teach it - God-given reflexes, balance and timing.
You’re right - beating like that can take years off a fighter‘s career.  Diaz was thumped from up close, mid-range and distance.  Corner or ref coulda pulled Diaz out after the 8th with no shame.  Ref was quasi negligent there in the final stanza.  Usually not much quit in a Mexican/PR matchup...  I admire the “fight culture” of both locations - boxing is still viewed as a blood sport.
Vargas and Russell are both now PBC - heard rumblings they are scheduled for a get-together later this year.  Russell only seems to fight 1x per year anyway now that he’s with Al...  IMO, like so many others in that stable.
Me thinks Navarrete and Oscar Valdez at 130 would be a fascinating matchup.  Both work for Bob, so the politics works too.
