In Los Angeles Tuesday, WBC lightweight champion David
Diaz said he is "only thinking of winning" when he takes
on mega-star Manny Pacquiao on Top Rank's "Lethal
Combination" championship card at the Mandalay Bay
Resort & Casino on June 28.
"Every fighter, no matter who he is, should want to
fight the very best - and that's what I'll be doing
against Pacquiao," Diaz said. "I'm not going to lose. I
don't even think of it. I will win and bring the green
belt back to my hometown, Chicago."
Pacquiao added "....it's a tough fight because of his
style (left-handed) and because he has a will to win.
Those are things I have to overcome in this fight. The
one good thing is that Diaz likes to fight toe-to-toe,
which is what I like too."
Pacquiao vs. Diaz will be available on HBO Pay Per View.
