It says another gold from boxing in Beijing...

I think they refer to the 3rd "EVER" gold metal for the DR- But not sure!

Third EVER....Diaz in boxing in Beijing....kid from the army, now in the professional ranks. He did NOT get 10 million for the gold, but he got a car and an apartment, and some cash, too.

Felix Sanchez: Gold 400 hurdles in Athens
