The Pacman has always been impressive, but last night he took it to a new level in my eyes. I don’t care what anyone says, David Diaz is no slouch, he’s tough as hell, and he’s bigger and stronger than most of the fighters Manny has previously faced.
Pacquiao’s performance can be summed up in three words, speed, speed, and speed. His speed was just incredible. Really, the whole package was incredible. Manny has it all, blazing speed, power, great footwork and head movement, and pretty much anything else you need to be a world class boxer. The Pacman is one of the elites in boxing to be sure, maybe one of the best ever, and on top of it he’s a classy guy too.
Diaz has nothing to be ashamed of either. Even though he was totally out-classed as far as skill goes, he showed tremendous heart to take that kind of beating and frustration and still keep coming. The guy has no quit in him, period.
Overall, I’d say it was a very entertaining, though one-sided fight. Normally, fights this one-sided are not very entertaining, but Manny’s performance was just so impressive, it didn’t matter.
