Great fight...Pacquio fought better and was really faster this time compared to his last bout with Marquez.

First and for most, I'm proud to be a Filipino, well half for that matter and half british. I agree that he fought better this time around, mainly because he trained here in America, sad to say somewhat, that our country (philippines) lacks some of the best equipment and well known trainers that the world has to offer. Its just that some boxing CEO stated that Pacquio fought better, faster, and had better stamina this time around all because he trained in the states and not the Philippines like before.

Hell, my uncles had a bet with me that Diaz was going to win for sure since it was Paquio's first time fighting in a heavier weight class, he actually had to gain 5-10lbs to reach up to Diaz and that my uncles claimed that since Diaz was fighting with his weight, he had the advantage over Paquio. But even though they claimed all those things about Diaz, I had a feeling that Paquio was more wiser this time and swung when he had a good chance of hitting Diaz, whereas Diaz just kinda stayed on the Defensive side throughout the fight.

Hopefully the next fight will be against Juan Diaz, since he stated some months ago that he wanted to fight Paquio, now that would most probably be a better fight, while this fight that just passed seemed like another Morales/barrera fight.

okay, I want to see pacquiao vs hatton

pacquiao has enough clout now to pull in big money so I hope it happens soon before he ends up losing to one of these no names like Edwin Valero and lose his marketability


edit: What I mean is that Edwin Valero is not a no-name but winning this fight does nothing for Pacquiao in my opinion. Valero is underneathe him in that respect and has everything to gain by winning the fight

It looked like an anchor punch that brought down Diaz, kinda like the "phantom punch" from Ali to Liston in their 2nd fight.
Except, this was for real and almost too fast to see.
