A short time ago in boxing results Joseph JoJo Diaz basically finished his time in boxing tonight.
Joseph Diaz nicknamed JoJo has been around for a bit in American boxing.
Fighting tonight he came up short a while ago and it is safe to say he is no longer at his best anymore.
The quality of his work showed as much.
Certainly at the highest level of professional boxing in terms of competing for world titles he looks done.
His time in boxing is finished if he had any aspirations to competing for a title again.
Ashton Sylve got the job done against him in boxing tonight by unanimous points decision.
Despite a late effort from Joseph JoJo Diaz, it was not enough in the end for him.
Not long ago Diaz what at the highest level of boxing.
But losing to ‘H20’ Sylve like this tonight by UD on points shows you how far the quality of his work has fallen.
Diaz would have beaten him years ago and is not anywhere near what he was compared to back then.
The fight in boxing tonight was in Long Beach in California in America on a different note.
A place that does not always usually get big professional boxing events. That was unusual and unique as well about the boxing tonight.
22-year-old prospect Sylve was apparently inspired a little from one Snoop Dogg on the night, Snoop Dogg being a has-been in America at this point.
This had nothing to do with his boxing on the night, he showed much ability at his young age.
Joseph JoJo Diaz was simply too slow in his feet and hand speed tonight in boxing, he could not get anywhere near his opponent.
Sylve kept him on the outside well at times with the jab and controlled the distance and range of the fight with the jab.
A real measuring tool in there tonight more than being a damaging jab, per se.
He kept the fight where he wanted and not where Joseph JoJo Diaz wanted. That was the difference.
Diaz was a shell of his former self and plodding forward in straight lines with little head movement and little feints or ingenuity in his work.
There was a lack of subtle boxing craft used and he was loading up on single shots as well.
Plodding forward and getting tagged with counters from Sylve for his trouble.
Diaz used to be a world champion at 130 pounds people forget but now he has lost his last three fights all in a row.
He looked like the life force that he was renowned for in the ring had gone from him a bit tonight in boxing.
He has quite a few defeats now in recent years.
He has fought the likes of Devin Haney, William Zepeda and more in those bad runs he has had in recent years.
Diaz landed some solid right hands early on in the fight tonight but at 33 now he just looked very far from where he used to be.
His attempts towards the end of the fight deserve some mention but they were too little too late.
He is a former world champion and although is still young at 33 by today’s standards in professional boxing and sports.
Where fighters are competing and winning world titles into their early and mid forties even now, that is not the case for Diaz.
Too much wear and tear over the years and miles on the clock now in terms of going after a world title.
Boxing is flying high as a sport again and it was great to see boxing at Long Beach in California in the US tonight, a surprise location for boxing.
But Joseph JoJo Diaz has come to the end of his time in the highest level of world championship boxing for us tonight in boxing a short time ago.
His jabs were being slipped tonight, he was being made miss.
He was being picked off too easily on the outside to compete at the highest level of world championship professional boxing.
JoJo Diaz was swinging wildly and missing with his left hooks as well tonight in boxing, not even jabs or feints to set them up, very wide shots.
Joseph JoJo Diaz was also being hit to the body off the back foot even with single body shots.
He has given boxing some entertaining fights over the years it must be said, who knows where he goes from here.
