‘THE MEXICUTIONER’ PACQUIAO IS ABOUT TO BECOME ‘THE MEXICUTIONEE,’ SAYS DAVID DIAZ World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion DAVID DIAZ (34-1-1, 17 KOs), from Chicago, paid a media day visit to San Antonio yesterday, May 6, to talk up his title defense against WBC super featherweight champion and Filipino national treasure MANNY PACQUIAO (46-3-2, 34 KOs). After visiting The Alamo, the birthplace of Texas independence from Mexico, Diaz, whose family hails from Mexico, said: “Yesterday may have been Cinco de Mayo, but June 28 will be the sinking of Manny. His drive for five world titles will stall out when we meet in the ring in Las Vegas. I didn’t work this hard to win the title just to become another notch on Pacquiao’s belt. The Mexicutioner is about to become the Mexicutionee.”
