Diaz cracks Alverez with an open hand slap.
Oh Alverez is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Diaz drops a shoulder and throws an uppercut that cracks Alverez right on the button. Alverez goes down! Diaz follows him to the mat and finishes the job with more strikes! Diaz gets the win via TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:22 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Dylan Diaz!
Dylan Diaz is the new lightweight champion!
