By Media Report on DoghouseBoxing (May 6, 2008) Doghouse Boxing

PHOENIX, AZ. (May 6, 2008) – World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion and former U.S. Olympian DAVID DIAZ will host a Phoenix media luncheon, Tomorrow! Wednesday, May 7, at El Matador Restaurant (125 East Adams Street – downtown), beginning at 1:30 p.m. Diaz will be discussing his upcoming world title defense against WBC super featherweight champion and boxing’s No. 1 pound for pound most exciting fighter, Manny Pacquiao, the main event of the pay-per-view extravaganza “Lethal Combination!” Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions, Pacquiao vs. Diaz will

take place Saturday, June 28, at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View, beginning at 9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT .

Dubbed "Republica Enemy No. 1," Pacquiao (46-3-2, 34 KOs), from General Santos City, Philippines, has blitzed through the best fighters Mexico has had to offer since 2003 including Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera , and Juan Manuel Marquez. The hard-hitting southpaw has won 22 of his last 23 bouts.

Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KOs ), a Mexican American from Chicago , will be making the second defense of his title. He successfully defended it against the three-division world champion Morales last summer winning a hard-fought unanimous decision over the future Hall of Famer. A member of the 1996 U.S. Olympic team, Diaz, with 12 years of experience as a professional, is more than prepared to handle the pressures that come with battling boxing’s pound-for-pound most exciting fighter.
