Manny Pacquiao VS David Diaz – One More Day to Go
Manny Pacquiao goes up in weight at 135 lbs and prepares to take on David Diaz tonight for the Lightweight title.
For many, especially in his home the Philippines, Manny Pacquiao taking the fight is good as done. Many believe Manny to be the best boxer pound for pound active today with three belts already claimed by the champ. When asked if he is comfortable at the current weight and if he has had problems, he answers: “I’ll just do my best. I feel all right because I no longer need to starve myself to make the weight,” said Pacquiao, noting that there’s no need for more talk at this point. “We’re both ready to fight and let’s just see who’s better.” A win tonight could open the door for mega fights between Manny and Ricky Hatton and maybe even a Pacquiao – De La Hoya confrontation.
On the other site of the corner is David Diaz of Chicago, a younger chap who has only lost one of 36 pro fights, who is also the WBC lightweight titleholder. David Diaz became a full fledged world champion after defeating Mexican legend Erik Morales in 2007. Erik Morales and Manny Pacquiao have had an explosive boxing trilogy with Manny taking two of the fights and losing the first one to Morales. Insiders say they have since become friends.
While Diaz is perceived to be the underdog in this fight, he is not to be underestimated, he has the skills and the power and is certainly much younger with a lot more to prove. David Diaz upsetting Manny Pacquiao will be historic.
In a press event where reporters were more interested in talking to Pacquiao, Diaz said this to Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal: If I were Manny Pacquiao, I would be concerned about my will. I will be there the entire fight, and I will stay there the entire fight.”

“Manny Pacquiao has beaten many great fighters, especially Mexicans like Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Larios and Solis. That’s why they call him “The Mexicutioner”. “I will shock the world and beat Pacquiao at his own game, power for power. He’s a great champion but he’s fighting in my division – lightweight. I have worked too hard for this world title and I will not give it up to him,” said Diaz in an interview. Read More.
For some reason, Manny Pacquiao Manny Pacquiao(along with his fans… yes, the duck-eating moron has some…) is already expecting to beat David Diaz and win the WBC Lightweight Championship. Read More.
They say that Diaz is very much like Pacquiao in terms of style, stamina and strength. I certainly agree with style and stamina but not in strength. When two fighters are almost equal in every aspect, it is how hard the fighter hits that will determine who the winner will be. In this case since Pacquiao is the hardest hitter therefore my money goes to him. Read More.
Despite defeating Eric Morales in a fight that ended “El Terrible’s” career, not causing any life threatening injuries though. David Diaz’s lackluster dispatch of Eric Morales was not that convincing. Although Eric Morales will forever be cemented as one of the greatest Mexican Fighters, by the time David Diaz got a chance to fight Eric Morales “El Terrible” was already a washed up fighter. Just another shadow of a former great desperate to keep his boxing career alive. Read More.
Pacquiao is trying to reach what his former opponents, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, couldn’t achieve. An elusive fourth world title in as many weight classes. And he will be making that attempt against the very aggressive Diaz who is, much like Pacquiao, a work-horse inside the ring and loves to throw a lot of punches as he wears his opponents down with sheer pressure.

Boxing lore states that a good big man always beats a good little man. I tend to agree. But therein lies the problem for Diaz. He is decent, not good, and that will make all the difference Saturday night. Read More

The WBC Lightweight Championship will be decided this Saturday at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada as boxing’s third world moron, Manny Pacquiao, tries to pry that Lightweight championship belt away from defending champion David Diaz. Of course, since you’re reading this here on OddJack, you just know that another ‘Pacquiao-bashing’ is on the way right? You bet. I’m still waiting for the day when a Mexican finally knocks that duck-fetus off Pacquiao’s gums but since David Diaz will come into this fight as a heavy underdog, I’ll already be happy seeing Pacquiao’s face rearranged by the Mexican champion, win or lose.
