Manny Pacquiao has said he will try for an early knock-out on June 28th when he fights reigning WBC lightweight champion, David Diaz, in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao said:
“It’s the big one definitely and we’ll let it all hang out to grab the crown,”
“An all out war starts in the early going so the fans will lap it up, It’s going to be a lovely brawl.”
Personally I love Pacquiao’s “all guns blazing” boxing style. It is not only terrifically entertaining, but also incredibly effective. Remember that Pacman is ranked as the No.2 P4P boxer at the moment by BoxingDaily and it could be the fourth weight which he is crowned world champion at. This would make him the first Asian to be a world champion at four different weights.
However, Diaz packs a decent punch and he is focused on defending his crown:
“Every fighter, no matter who he is, should want to fight the very best - and that’s what I’ll be doing against Pacquiao,” .
“I’m not going to lose. I don’t even think of it. I will win and bring the green belt back to my hometown, Chicago.”
And Manny Pacquiao added “..it’s a tough fight because of his style (left-handed) and because he has a will to win. Those are things I have to overcome in this fight. The one good thing is that Diaz likes to fight toe-to-toe, which is what I like too.”
All in all this looks like its going to be a really exciting fight and I for one am really looking forward to it!
What about you?
Who do you think win out of Manny Pacquiao and David Diaz?
Toe-to-Toe, I guess is the most exciting brawl in the ring, and with Paquiao Power Punch, the fight will not last 4 round, and the Pacman left standing. In a simple logical thinking, you can’t go Toe-to-Toe to a boxer with a huge power, WHY Marquez survived to be KO?, because He is keep running and counter punching, if Diaz will do the same strategies,
He has a good chance, but if He choose to go an all out war, then it could be KO win for PACMAN. Records of PACMAN previous fights proved that logic.
