World Boxing Council (WBC) super featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao and WBC lightweight champion David Diaz will fight over Diaz’ title on June 28, 2008 aired via HBO ( to be aired on GMA-7 in Philippines on June 29). Promoter Bob Arum called this fight as the “Lethal Combination”.
Pacquiao, tagged as “The Mexicutioner” has beaten Barrera, Marquez, Larios, Solis and Morales. He is aiming to to get five world titles in five different weight classes. For the first time, he will be fighting at 135 pounds. Will the added weight deter Pacquiao’s performance? But Freddie Roach,Pacquiao’s trainer, is more concerned on the Pacman’s mentality. Coming from previous victory over Marquez, Manny Pacquiao might underestimate Diaz’ power.
