WHO you gonna call if you want to ask if an upset is possible in the upcoming David Diaz and Manny Pacquiao face off this weekend?
Talk to James ?Buster? Douglas trainer John Russell, the architect of what is still considered as the biggest upset ever in heavyweight history and you get can definitely get a credible analysis of the match.
Regrettably for Diaz fans, a shake-up is far-fetched for Russell and this was what the admired trainer said when interviewed Tuesday morning by ?Sports Chat? over DzSR Sports Radio 91kHz.

According to Russell, though it will definitely be a tough climb for Pacquiao who will be fighting as a lightweight for the first time, the Filipino boxing sensation is a better all-around fighter compared to Diaz.
Russell guided Douglas, who the trainer said is a very dear friend, in scoring one of the most shocking upsets in sports history by knocking out undefeated champion and 42 to1 favorite Mike Tyson on February 11, 1990 in Tokyo, Japan.
At the time, Tyson was considered to be the best boxer in the world and arguably one of the most feared heavyweight champions in history due to his utter domination of the division.
