Manny Pacquiao vs. David Diaz

Pacquiao vs. Diaz Video and Blow by Blow analysis

People understand that Manny Pacquiao have accomplished. they still remember the humiliation Pacquiao inflicted upon Barrera during his first encounter

that had the latter
unwilling to engage And then there were others the most notable of which are his victories over http://www.wazzupmanila.com/manny-pacman-pacquiao-vs-david-dangerous-diaz/236/. Marquez and Morales who on their own are boxing greats.

Digressing a bit, people recall Morales for moving forward, refusing taking a step back making good an earlier word- Nunca! That made him the beloved of the Filipinos who mobs him like a hometown hero. Juan Miguel Marquez on the other hand, is now being remembered for his bad talk more than his technical fighting abilities. Riding all over town whining what he considered was a bad loss going to Pacquiao's bout and stealing the show by irregularly issuing challenges in front of fight fans is a trait that fat middle-aged housekeepers in comedy films do Well, he may have actually held that role in a previous life, if not heading towards that direction in the next one. Let us ask the past life regression experts.

Back to our regular writing not that many fans know that WBC World lightweight champion David Diaz and many of the commentators probably think that he is a small fry. Still one should be aware that Diaz is naturally a bigger man, who started in a heavier weight division and is now dominating a lighter category. In contrast, Pacquiao began as a thin 110 lbs boxer that like most people as they age gain more and more weight For that reason Diaz, by the scheme of things, appears to be more home in the area that the Pacquiao will try to encroach

David Diaz began his career fighting in the heavier welterweight division and fought for the US Olympic boxing team. Later, he went to the literally lighter "Lightweight division" to become a world champion. In the lightweight category, he has only lost one time and has said to have learned from it. He then continued to deafeat succeeding fights The string of triumphs may have transformed him complacent, reminiscent of a Manny Pacquiao after his first victory over Barrera. But that is probably not the case. Diaz himself said the upcoming bout as the greatest in his boxing life one that will bring him to the height of greatness.

Pacquiao's camp likewise thinks Diaz is a multi talented fighter based on the various weapons that he used in taking to the ground various opponents. Diaz has both speed and power that he uses depending on the adversary of the day. Filipinos can only hope that Pacquiao can withstand his power the way he took Marquez and Morales. If not, Manny Pacquiao must rely on better speed and footwork that is naturally expected from lighter fighters.

One thing though, Diaz had problems defeating Erik Morales whom Pacquiao triumphed over a bit easily on their last fight Then again, Morales appeared to have difficulty making the weight and looked severely dehydrated before his last minutes with Manny Pacquiao During their first match when Morales was in top shape Manny Pacquiao was the one in trouble.

Other than that Diaz is evidently the hungrier of the two. Answering reporters questions he dismisses any possibility of a 3rd Pacquiao- Marquez fight and declares that it is his turn. He also agreed to take home the lower purse despite being the title holder in the upcoming fight. Looking at it from a business perspective, Diaz is investing, knowing that that lower income today will mean much bigger purses if he shall triumph The man is evidently thinking way beyond the upcoming fight.

What strategy do we recommend for Manny Pacquiao For starts, he should test his opponents punch absorption capacity. If the Pac thinks that he can knock Diaz out, he should go for it after softening him up a bit with head and body combinations. If not, he should just box his way around Diaz and keep scoring points to win the bout with a convincing unanimous decision.
