Pacquiao KOs Diaz in 9th Round!

I don’t care if my fearless prediction is off by one round. I’m still ecstatic that Manny Pacquiao made a punching bag out of WBC Lightweight Champion David Diaz and finally tore him apart in round 9 during their bout at Mandalay Bay Casino, Las Vegas entitled “Lethal Combination”.

Pacman is like a raging bull right from the start. He will throw 3 to 5 punches against Dangerous Diaz and then the man counters, but before he could even do that, Manny has already steered away from him and all Diaz could hit is air.  Man, what a sight to behold! It is so beautiful watching Manny circling Diaz and throwing all those left-right combinations. He showed us a boxing clinic and in the process, became the first Asian to capture a world title in four weight divisions and most importantly; where the great Gabriel “Flash” Elorde (considered the best Filipino boxer ever) failed, he succeeded by becoming the first Filipino Lightweight Division Champion.
