Javier Diaz’s Texas Boxing Record Included a Dallas Draw
Javier Diaz drew with Martinez Sharod Porter at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas on August 16, 2014. The result formed part of a seven-bout professional record spanning 2005 to 2014.
The early professional bouts
Diaz began his recorded professional career with a majority-decision victory over Juan Jose Ruiz in Hidalgo, Texas, in January 2005. Brian Vera defeated him by unanimous decision in Fort Worth that March.
Diaz stopped Rodney Spears in Fort Worth in August 2005. His following appearances brought decision defeats to Valentino Jalomo and Mike Martinez in 2006.
The 2014 return
After the split draw with Porter, Diaz faced Joey Dunmoodie at the Pequeno Mexico Event Building in Fort Worth on September 20, 2014. Dunmoodie won by unanimous decision.
The compiled super middleweight ledger lists Diaz with two victories, four defeats and one draw. All seven recorded contests took place in Texas.
Born on June 30, 1977, Diaz was twenty-seven when he debuted at Hidalgo’s Dodge Arena. Fort Worth hosted five of his seven recorded appearances, with both the Vera and Jalomo contests taking place at Cowtown Coliseum. His loss to Martinez came at the Worthington Hotel. The Porter draw marked his return after almost eight years without a listed professional contest, before the Dunmoodie assignment the following month.
