First I have always supported Pacman even though other people have been saying that he is past his prime, but the fact is he has changed his style, he is far more of a boxer now than just a one dimensional fighter. He BEAT Marquez, he outclassed Barrera whom he beat nearly every round(A Barrera that seemed almost even with Marquez the fight before). He beat to very solid mexican fighters Larios and Solis. And he also made Morrales, one of the toughest warriors of our generation, basically say fuck this, this guy is too good in their third fight.
Anyways back to the point. I feel really bad for Diaz, he was absolutely battered around. I can't believe he lasted 9 rounds I though his corner was going to stop it way sooner. I felt this was a lot worse than Mayweather-Gatti, Gomez-Gatti, Cotto-Gomez because Pacquaio for one hits ridiculously hard, and for two he was destroying Diaz everywhere, in the face, in the body, even in his heart. I hope Diaz is ok. I was really surprised how easily Pacman handled the strength of a guy who looks built like a big light welterweight.
