Pacquiao vs. Diaz Video and Blow by Blow analysis

People understand that The Pacman has succeeded 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 triumphs over Marquez and Morales who on their own are boxing greats.

Digressing a bit, people remember Morales for moving forward, refusing taking a step back making good an earlier word- Nunca! That made him a darling 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 crying over 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’s consult the Tibetan monks about it.

Back to our regular programming, not that many fans know that WBC World lightweight champion David Diaz and a lot of the commentators presumably 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 started as a thin 110 lbs boxer that like most people as they age gain more and more weight Diaz therefore, by the scheme of things, seems to be more at ease in the territory 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 moved 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 in following bouts. 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 declares thethe forthcoming fight as greatest in his career, one that will bring him to the height of greatness.

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

Another thing Diaz had problems winning Erik Morales whom Pacquiao triumphed over a little easily on their last outing. Then again, Morales appeared to have difficulty making the weight and looked severely dehydrated before his last bout with the Pac. During their first match when Morales was in the height shape the Pac was the one in trouble.

To top it all, Diaz is evidently the hungrier of the two. In press interviews, he dismisses any talk of another rematch between Pacquiao and Marquez declares that it is his turn. He also agreed to take home the lower purse despite being the title holder in the upcoming fight. Viewing 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 can this column dish out for the Pac? For starts, he should test his opponents punch absorption capacity. If Manny Pacquiao thinks that he KO David Diaz he should go for it after softening him up a bit with head and body combinations. If its not possible he should dance his way around Diaz and keep scoring points to win the bout with a convincing unanimous decision.
