Going for gold

[NewsWhore]

True to his word, Dominican boxer Felix Diaz is going for gold. Diaz promised that he would try his best for a gold medal and barring a total collapse he could bring the country its second gold medal. Previous to his Friday night fight in Beijing, Diaz was assured a bronze medal. This would have been enough for any other athlete, but not Diaz. The pugilist came out blazing against Frenchman Alexis Vastine. Diaz won the fight 12-10 and a visibly shaken Vastine could not believe the results. Vastine was constantly penalized for grabbing Diaz, losing four total points, but experts feel Vastine was grabbing because he couldn't contain Diaz's speed. Diaz has now guaranteed himself a silver medal in these year's games and will go for gold Saturday, 7:35pm Beijing time.
