Boxing trainer, Jorge Diaz, is a former sparring partner for eight-division king Manny Pacquiao (53-2-1, 38 knockouts), who is handled by Top Rank Promotions and earned an HBO pay-per-view televised, Nov. 13 victory over Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs) to add the WBC’s vacant junior middleweight (154 pounds) crown to the WBO welterweight belt that he already had.
On May 7, Pacquiao will defend his WBO belt against three-division, five-time champion Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), who has scored a January, 2009, ninth-round knockout of Margarito.
Diaz spoke about the defense of fighters such as six-time titlist Floyd Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs), a former Golden Boy Promotions fighter who is pictured above.
