ESPN undercard results: Pitufo Diaz wins second straight

Christopher "Pitufo" Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs), from Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, bested Jason Sanchez (15-2, 8 KOs) via ten-round unanimous decision. Official scores were 98-92 (twice) and 97-93 in a crossroads featherweight fight. Diaz has now won two in a row since an April 2019 decision loss to Shakur Stevenson. He has his sights set on a world title opportunity at either featherweight or junior featherweight. “I can fight at featherweight, or I can make 122 pounds. 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," Diaz said. “I worked on my power in the gym. My coaches, Nelson Rodriguez and Freddie Roach, got me ready for tonight.”
