The fight between David Diaz and Manny Pacquiao titled “Lethal Combination” on June 28 is getting closer. I have read a column that says that Manny Pacquiao seems to be over confident in this fight. This has been due to cutting down his training regimen by delaying his trip to the US and attending first his local commitments. If this attitude of Manny Pacquiao continues I think this will soon end his legendary career as a boxer. The number one pound-by-pound boxer according to FightFan.com should be humble and never underestimate his opponent. Too bad, the humble Manny Pacquiao was a sight of yesterday.Anyway, who is David Diaz in the first place? David “Dangerous” Diaz, 32, was born in Chicago raised by his Mexican parents. His father and brother was also a boxer. He started boxing at the age of eight. His professional boxing debut was on 1996 after he participated in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Some of his famous opponents were Marcos Rodriguez, Kendall Holt, Jose Armando Santa Cruz, Erik Morales and Ramon Montano.
When asked about his fight with Manny Pacquiao, this is what he said, “is the biggest fight of my life. Bigger than when I won the title. Even bigger than beating a legend like Morales."
Manny Pacquiao should be careful since David Diaz is just like him. They play the aggressor and come forward to pressure and wear down their opponents. Aside from that he has stamina that can last the last round.
Who do you think will win this match?
