Not much to party about yet. I just can't share the over-enthusiastic optimism of the oddmakers. There are too many if's in this fight to make a pac-fan in me a bit concerned. Some featherweight opponents in their moments of determined attack had superfeather pac in trouble couple of times in the past, what more if it is a legitimate lightweight, a champion at that, doing the the same to a questionable lightweight. To make it worst, pac let himself overweight by 3lbs again just couple days before the fight. Shedding that 3lbs before the weigh-in will leave him dehydrated again; you can see that in the pics, his cheeks are gone again. So I doubt he can finish strong if the fights last 12, just as he failed to do in his last two fights. His wife said on a local tv today that pac still had some difficulty making 135! and wants to move up to 140lb next!! Not that I think he needs to move up; I think it's more of a case of his losing some of his motivation; I don't see that spark in his eyes anymore. Diaz looked more determined than him...
Gimme some tequilla to soothe my nerves, but no worms please - worms and sushi's don't mix.So can you please pass the sushi...
...and the ketchup...
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
you are wrong pacfan, i saw pac eating as if it was lunch in a fiesta. take note it was in the morning of the weigh in! but i think he will move up to 140lbs the next fight. right after the weigh in pac ate again like a friggin mayor or senator. eheheheh!
he is very comfortable in 135lbs in terms of losing the weight, i dunno if he can handle the the pressure form natural 135lbs tho.
Live undercard starting now on Yahoo.
Someone throw me some lucozade or nescafe, gonna be a late night for lefty, Steven Luevano best not send me to sleep.

PAC-Diaz Weigh-In
yo not fair pacs extra inch or 2 of hair is going to intimedate diaz. guess where in for tyson-seldon II![]()
. . . not as powerful. Diaz has alot of things going against him and he will struggle early but after that I think we are in for a real fight
Pac beat Morales easily and Diaz had trouble with him so Pac should blow him away but we know that never works in boxing. Styles makes fights and this should be a gooden
I havent seen Pac fight anyone this defined and that includes the 3 Mexicans .
