Pacquiao Vs Diaz Live
Few hours from now, the much awaited boxing match between our very oen boxing superstar, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and David “Dangerous” Diaz tagged as “Lethal Combination”. Of course, I’m hoping Pacquiao get the WBC (World Boxing Council) Lightweight belt, his fourth title. If he gets lucky, he will be the first Asian to win the four titles in different weight division.
The match will not be titled as “Lethal Combination” if David Diaz will give his title easily. David Diaz won Chicago Golden Gloves four times and the National Golden Gloves three times (1993, 1994 and 1996 National Golden Gloves light welterweight champion)with boxing record of 36 fights and 34 wins. Well, I’m sure Diaz know that Pacquiao is known for being a “Mexican Killer”. For sure, I’ll be posting the boxing result tomorrow. I will be watching the boxing event at Mandalay Beach Resort and Casino in live stream again.

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!
