@RBRBoxing I predicted TKO between rounds 7-9 but I will take a 10th round KO. I knew Chaves didn’t respect that power. Great performance ! — BangHardBoxing (@BangHardBoxing) July 28, 2013
@LaJoyaChaves A no bajar los brazos Diego! Hiciste buena pelea. Esto sigue. Abrazo — Marcos René Maidana (@ChinoMaidana) July 28, 2013
After knocking out Diego Chaves, Keith Thurman professes his love for San Diego. The fight was in SAN ANTONIO. “Wanna get away?” #Boxing — Robert Flores (@RoFloESPN) July 28, 2013

Say what you want, Berto has heart for days!! He’s gonna fight until he has nothing left!! — Andre S.O.G. Ward (@andreward) July 28, 2013
Berto’s problem is that he keeps getting outworked. Ortiz, Guerrero and now Soto-Karass are all just relentless. #BertoKarass — RoundByRound Boxing (@RBRBoxing) July 28, 2013
