Pacquiao defeats Diaz, becomes the new lightweight champion
‘”I could deal with the power but not his speed,” Diaz said. “I got tricked by his speed. I gave it my all. His speed is what sealed it for me. His speed was uncontrollable.”
“[The cut] didn’t bother me,” he said. “But I thought he had a knife. It’s like he was hitting me with a blade. I thought [Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach] was in there hitting me too. What can I say? I lost today, I’ll win tomorrow. To go like that with a guy like Manny Pacquiao, I think I’m doing pretty good.”‘

You got to have respect for David Diaz though. He wasn’t trying to run and hide. Diaz took his ass-whooping like a man.
