“I asked [Palacios] after the fight, what made him stay inside all night? And he said the reach that Segawa had, he felt that if he fought at half-distance or a little bit on the outside, it would give Segawa an advantage,” Diaz said. “So I think it was Segawa’s mistake of trying to fight inside with Rene that cost him a lot of the fight. But if [Segawa] would have placed a little bit of distance, maybe used his jab, it would have favored him more. But Rene that night just was on. His speed. Being smart, too, There were rounds that were pretty close and it was like, ‘Come on, let your hands go.’ And he would throw a flurry of punches.”
