Manny Pacquiao Aims For Lightweight Title

Watch out for the coming boxing match of boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus 31 year old Mexican-American David Diaz, the present WBC (World Boxing Council) lightweight champion on June 28 at Mandalay Bay Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada.

August last year, David Diaz won the boxing match against Eric Morales in defense of his title. This time, Manny Pacquiao is aiming for the WBC Lightweight title which will make him the “first Asian boxer to win four world titles in three different weight divisions”, and he will also be the First Filipino World Lightweight titlist.

Manny Pacquiao’s titles:
1st – WBC (World Boxing Council) Flyweight from Fahsan 3K Battery
2nd – IBF (International Boxing Federation) Super Bantamweight from Lehlohonolo Ledwaba
3rd – WBC (World Boxing Council) and The Ring World Super Featherweight title from Juan Manuel Marquez
4th – Pacquiao’s target: WBC Lightweight title

Taking consideration the data I gather, I guess this would be the greatest boxing match or should I say “the finale” of Pacquiao’s boxing career. Let’s just hope for the best. Go, Manny!
