From that point on Diamond set precedence to the fight while Ramirez continued to pound away at Kid Diamond. Diamond has a unique style of fighting where he cleverly slips in shots either in combinations or upper cuts. Diamond who has won all of his fights except one in October. where he lost to Nate Campbell has become a much more versatile fighter now that he is training with Miguel Diaz. Since that day when Diamond was knocked down three times and finally got knocked out in the tenth round by Campbell, he vowed to never be put in that position again.
