Can Pacquiao take the Lightweight title from Diaz?

Will Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao make history and score
a win over David Diaz? We'll all find out on June 29.

I'm not really a fan of boxing but I've been following Manny Pacquiao's career lately. He's making waves having defeated top Mexican boxing icons like Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales and Juan Manuel Marquez under his belt. He's got three titles, now he's going for four. He made history as the first Asian fighter to three World titles from three different weight classes. Can he make history yet again?

His much anticipated fight with David Diaz is just a week away. Boxing pundits debate who's gonna emerge victorious Pacquiao/Diaz fight card. Pacquiao's in a new territory now and it's going to be a challenge for Pacman if he can handle an opponent in the Lightweight Division. It's like a small fish swimming in an ocean full of sharks. That's just my way of putting it.

Another thing Pacman has to keep in mind is that he's fighting an opponent who's also a Southpaw. How can left-handed fighter counter another left-handed fighter? I'm not really an expert when it comes to boxing but he has to work on using his right hand. He's at a disadvantage. It's a huge transition for him from Super Featherweight to Lightweight. Being a little heavier could slow him down. But if his speed not a problem for Pacquiao or for Trainer Freddie Roach, then this is going to be a good fight to look forward to. He may still have an advantage after all. I'm just wondering how Manny's gonna pack a punch now that he's a Lightweight.

Seems like he's more comfortable training at a higher weight class. From the looks of it, he's actually quite confident that he could beat David Diaz in the fight. Diaz feels the same way. Both these fighters are training hard as the fight looms closer. Even Freddie Roach is confident Pacman can win against Diaz.

The world be watching yet again. The question remains whether Manny Pacquiao will make history or David Diaz keep his title and hand Pacman his first loss as a Lightweight. Those questions will be answered on June 29.

For sure, the Filipino people will be behind Manny Pacquiao all the way and I'll be rooting for him once more. Mabuhay ang PILIPINAS!
