LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION
DAVID DIAZ: "I WILL NOT LOSE TO PACMAN"
In Los Angeles yesterday,
WBC lightweight champion David Diaz said he
is "only thinking of winning" when
he takes on mega-star
Manny Pacquiao on Top Rank's "Lethal Combination"
championship card at the Mandalay Bay Resort
& Casino on June 28.
"Every fighter, no matter
who he is, should want to fight the very best
- and that's what I'll be doing against Pacquiao,"
Diaz said. "I'm
not going to lose. I don't even think of it.
I will win and bring the green belt back to
my hometown, Chicago."
Pacquiao added "....it's
a tough fight because of his style (left-handed)
and because he has a will to win. Those are
things I have to
overcome in this fight. The one good thing is
that Diaz likes to fight toe-to-toe, which is
what I like too."
Pacquiao vs. Diaz will
be available on HBO Pay Per View.
