Regarding his ko in 1 loss to Boots Brodie
Diggs's foot slipped out of the ring. "His leg slid down the side of the ring. It was skinned and started to bleed. A couple of fast blows, and Diggs fell to the mat. But it wasn't the blows that knocked him out. A fellow has to have a heart to fight. Diggs didn't have any, and quit cold. So cold that
Fred Bottaro would not count him out. He tried to lift him up, but Porter refused to be lifted. Diggs was received into the ring with applause, but he was dragged out with hoots and hisses." Sacramento Star
