underestimate diaz at your peril pac fans.
I for one like most will hope the aggresive, front foot fighter wins out on the night, but diaz has the ability to spoil fights and box contests on his terms.
Manny will have to be sensible in his approach to this one and not allow diaz to dictate early on, i see a scrappy yet hard fought manny win..........just!!
They don't call him the "Dangerous" for nothing. :)Quote:

Diaz unsure he can stop Pacman
By Nick Giongco, The Manila Bulletin, Wed, 07 May 2008
David Diaz believes he can go toe-to-toe with Manny Pacquiao for 12 rounds, but he’s unsure whether he can stop the Filipino star dead in his tracks. "I think I can stay with him for 12 rounds," Diaz told the Bulletin yesterday shortly after his arrival in San Antonio, Texas, for a promotional Read Full Story >>> Manila Bulletin Online
Diaz is just too nice and humble. I wish Pac and him would talk smack against each other. Atleast one of them should play the asshole role ;D. It's a good way fire up the fans imo.
I think Manny's speed is gonna be all the difference in this one. Diaz may get a huge shiner again with Manny's new found jab. I don't think the weight is going to be any issue right now Manny has looked a little sucked up lately making weight, although he looked fine against JMM. I think if anything it will help his stamina which was already stellar.

The way I see the fight unfolding is Pac being too quick and powerful for Diaz early . Might drop a couple times but if the rumours are true that he isnt training hard then Diaz could make this interesting in the 2nd half cuz I aint been impressed with Pacs workrate in his last 2 fights .
Yes. The romours are true. He's still in the Philippines. He's busy attending some invitations from high ranked Philippine politicians, doing some charities, releasing baby turtles in the ocean, writting article about preserving nature... and all those craps. He needs to get his ass in wild card gym pronto! :mad:Quote:

I heard he was scuba diving (sp?) and his justification for thiswas that teh salt water is good for his skin as it strengthens it and stops him from cutting . Who belives this crap . Just be honest . He cant be bothered to train cuz he knows Diaz is a bum and will be an easy win .
My concern is if he doesnt get Diaz out of tehre early Mannys fitness levels may not be what they should be and this could develop into a mini war .
When I saw Diaz box I thought this guy is really useless. I mean he doesnt even know the basics. How on earth is he holding a WBC title. If Manny loses to him its more embarassing than the Torrencampo defeat .

By Ronnie Nathanielsz, PhilBoxing.com, Fri, 09 May 2008

World Boxing Council lightweight champion David Diaz says June 28 “will be the sinking of Manny (Pacquiao), the reigning WBC super featherweight champion who has a record of 46-3-2, 34 KO’s). Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KO‘s) made the Read Full Story >>> DIAZ SAYS JUNE 28 WILL BE THE SINKING OF PACQUIAO
Atta boy David!.. Keep that kind of talk comin'. ;D
daiz reminds me a lot of the old fighters with jay leno chins, the old fighters that would rubbed dark oil or some shit on their chin and smoke tabacco all the time ;D
I'm gonna go for the upset!
David Diaz is awful but I think Pac knows this too and wont perform as good as he can. In his last two fights he hasnt been the whirlwind he once was and those were in high profile fights. Now hes moving up in weight vs a guy he is expected to beat easily so how is he gonna be more motivated for this when hes coming off fighting bigger names.
I think early on he will be too quick and powerful for Diaz dropping him early but he will think it can be done on the back foot after that . So Diaz will keep coming wearing him down in his crude way . Pac will be uncomfortable and will lose a points decision IMO .
i think diaz is underrated. he's only lost once and he did beat zab judah twice in the amateurs and stopped armando santa cruz, the same guy who got screwed by the judges after a dominant performance against casamayor. diaz is also the naturally bigger guy who started out as light welterweight whereas manny debut at 106lbs. so, it wouldn't really be that embarrassing should manny loses to the underrated david diaz. i'm expecting both these guys though to put up one heck of a fight.Quote:

I'm smarter than the promoters, this ain't a fight.
Pacquiao by KO.
I'm predicting a UD again for Pacquaio but am not discounting the fact that Diaz can win this by SD.:cool:
There's a saying in the Philippines,.. that "quiet people are more dangerous". All of Pac's past opponents were very vocal,.. but except for this guy David Diaz. That's why I have a bad feeling for this fight.
Pac best not underestimate Diaz but IMO he is and I would not be surprised to see Diaz win :-\
