"DESPITE predictions that Manny Pacquiao would win by a knockout when he battles World Boxing Council lightweight champion David Diaz at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on June 28, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said it won’t be an easy fight. Among those who said Pacquiao would win by a knockout was former WBC super-featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, who lost his title to the Pacman by a split decision last March 15 on the same card, where Diaz beat the Filipino’s sparring partner Ramon Montano by a 10-round majority decision. In an interview on the dzSR Sports Radio show “Sports Chat,” hosted by journalist and “Main Event” TV show boxing analyst Dennis Principe, Arum said: “It’s impossible to KO Diaz. He is one of those over-achieving fighters.”
