Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-03, pretty good fight between Petr Petrov and Gamaliel Diaz: it gets three stars.Petr Petrov entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 35-4-2 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.11 lightweight in the world; he suffered his last defeat in 2013 when he faced Dejan Zlaticanin, since then he has won three consecutive bouts winning the ESPN’s 2014 Boxcino Lw tournament beating Fernando Carcamo in the final (=Carcamo vs Petrov).
His opponent, Gamaliel Diaz, has an official record of 38-11-3 (17 knockouts) and he entered as the No.60 in the same weight class; he suffered two consecutive defeats in 2013, against Takashi Miura (bout in which he lost the Wbc super featherweight title) and Dante Jardon (=Jardon vs Diaz). After this fight he came back to win beating Eduardo Canales but then he drew with Anthony Crolla (technical decision, Crolla vs Diaz). Petrov vs Diaz is the main event of the night.

Diaz was a bit rough and tumble and the ref pinged him for it. Petrov kept pulling Diaz’s head down and using the forearm but nothing was said. The worst however was the two commentators talking bloody football games for nearly a complete round.
