Huit - Pacquiao Won Versus David Diaz

Diaz, left; Pacquiao, right.

Filipino boxing superstar Emmanuel "Manny Pacman" Pacquiao won via TKO in the ninth round over Mexican WBC lightweight champ David Diaz yesterday at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas making him "the first Asian to hold four different titles at different weights and the first Filipino to hold the crown" (http://www.inquirer.net)

"Pacquiao put on a tremendous display of speed, skill, and accurate punching before delivering a picture perfect left cross that left Diaz face first on the canvas" (http://www.boxingscene.com).                      
         
"Diaz made US$850,000 in his biggest payday, but will drop back down into the second tier of lightweights while Pacquiao, who made $3 million, decides which 135-pounder to trouble next" (http://canadianpress.google.com)
