Who is David Diaz, the guy who we hope will knock the living daylights out of Manny Pacquiao?

It’s on June 28, when Manny Pacquiao will look to win the WBC Lightweight Championship from David Diaz.

Of course, like most of his fights, we’re very eager to see Manny Pacquiao get fucked by another Mexican. It simply don’t matter to us whether the third world moron wins or not, as long as a Mexican knuckle creams Pacquiao’s face good.

And this time, we’re hoping David Diaz does just that. He will come into this bout as the reigning WBC Lightweight Champion looking to defend his title from Pacquiao, now being dubbed for some reason as ‘’the Mexicutioner.'’ Can Diaz fix Pacquiao’s face with a right uppercut?

David ‘’Dangerous'’ Diaz, David Diazthe current owner of the WBC Lightweight Championship, holds a professional record of 34-1-1, with 17 KOs. He is a former four-time U.S. National amateur champion and 1996 U.S. Olympian, making his debut in November, 1996.

Diaz won the WBC Interim Lightweight world title in his last fight in August, 2006, with a sensational come-from-behind knockout against defending champion Jose Armando Santa Cruz. The win against Santa Cruz made Diaz the WBC’s mandatory challenger and when no agreement could be reached during the free negotiation period with WBC champion Joel Casamayor, the fight went to a purse offer.

Casamayor’s representatives did not participate and pursued another fight, and Casamayor was stripped of the title. And according to WBC rules, David was to take his place as WBC champ.

Diaz is a lefthander with an aggressive style and good skills. At his best, he keeps a busy pace, pressures his opponents and wears them down. He is tough and durable, possessing above average physical strength. He is always in good condition and has good stamina.

He is an aggressive lefthander who always makes exciting fights. Diaz is undefeated since February, 2005, giving him with all kinds of momentum heading to his title fight with Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On August 4, 2007, David Diaz successfully defended his WBC Lightweight title against three-division world champion, Erik Morales, at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL. Although behind on the scorecards early, Diaz rallied before the raucous hometown crowd of 10,000 to capture the decision, sweeping the championship rounds against the future hall-of-famer and winning the decision by scores of 114-113, 115-113 and 115-112.

As David Diaz had successfully done in numerous battles of his career, he rallied late to win the fight. The fight, billed as WAR FOR 4, lived up to its expectations as both combatants put on a highly skilled, true warrior-like display for the fans. With the win, Diaz cemented his place among the best lightweights in the sport and one of the most popular and respected athletes in the sports-crazy town of Chicago.

Manny Pacquiao has a whole lot of ass-whipping ahead of him.
