The fight will happen at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas Nevada and it is going to be a 12 - round lightweight championship bout. Moving to the lightweight, the 135 pound division in boxing, the Philippines’ pride Manny Pacquiao is out to take on his first bout in the new division with David Diaz. Diaz, a legitimate 31 year old lightweight veteran fighter from Chicago Illinois who is also a southpaw has battled against some of the best in the business including Erik “el terrible” Morales in a 12 round championship fight where Diaz successfully defended his title. Pacquiao, on the other hand is said to be the best pound 4 pound boxer today his division with Floyd Mayweather in super welterweight division.

Manny Pacquiao with a world record of being the first ever Asian boxer in history to win three world titles in three different weight divisions has a ring record of 46wins - 3 defeats - 2 draws and a total of 35 KOs. Read more on Manny Pacquiao here.

Both fighters have battled against the best of the best in the boxing arena but Diaz has the lesser experience in fighting champions while Pacman has defeated the best there is in the likes of Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera, Lelohonolo Ledwaba, Juan Manuel Marquez Larios, Solis, Fashsan 3k Battery, Hector Velasquez, Jorge Julio and more. I believe this fight will end up early as with the stats on who is the stronger puncher, undoubtedly, that is Manny Pacquiao so this expects to be a knockout for him as he moves up in a new division. This same division is where I believe Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao will meet again to prove once and for all who is the best pound for pound and take all the disputes to their corners.

Personal Analysis on the Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz Fight

The Manny Pacquiao vs David Diaz fight promises to be a good one and I am not counting out Diaz on this one because he has the stamina which he showed against Erik Morales last August 4, 2007 where he won the fight and the heart of a true champion. On the other hand, I expect that Manny Pacquiao will be quite aggressive on this fight to prove to everybody that this is his new comfort zone and he intends to win his fights here too just like before. Furthermore, this is going to be another test for him as he moves up one notch in division if he can be a champion here and if he can stake out on this. I also believe that this will be another stepping stone for Manny Pacquiao to hail on this new division for at least 3 years more although he has to beat his biggest rival, Juan Manuel Marquez first.

All the tickets are out of the booths and all reservations for tickets to the De La Hoya vs Mayweather fight in all upper and lower box back then were even out of reach months before the actual fight happens.

The Fight Controversy

There is a buzzing controversy to the fight between De La Hoya and Mayweather as the original plan was supposed to be a De La Hoya vs Cotto out in buzz but according to sports enthusiast and boxing promoter Bob Arum, he already suspected that there will never be a chance for the upcoming great fighter and champion Miguel Cotto to get a slot to fight against Oscar De La Hoya. The prestigious promoter also noted that there were never even discussions between him and Golden Boy Promotions for that possible fight. Arum also noted that a boxer has to put a little leverage over his enemy in the ring before a fight happens and the De La Hoya vs Cotto fight was just part of it confirming that Richard Schaefer (Golden Boy Promotions CEO) and himself never had any talks about it at all

Despite this controversy and the fight coming soon this year with very strict schedule on training for the two fighters, history is destined to repeat itself.
