Manny Pacquiao Knocks Out David Diaz To Win WBC Lightweight Championship (Celebrates With Boston Celtics)
FanIQ Blog — Since Adam Jones is trying desperately to shed the Pacman label, I believe we have a new most popular Pacman in sports. Manny Pacman Pacquiao is the man after knocking out David Diaz in the 9th round to capture the WBC Lightweight crown. It's a surprise Diaz lasted this long. Pacquiao quick jabs were way to much in the 9th as he systematically set up his knockout blow that was a long time coming. That was one hell of a knockout. And what better way to celebrate your new crown, with the Boston Celtics who recently picked up one of their own. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and crew were ...

The Celtics just won the NBA title, and were given more than their fair share of attention, right? How about letting Pacquiao have some of the spotlight for himself for a bit, ...

Manny Pacquiao, Pound for Pound King... and Celtics Fan?
Your Face is a Sports Blog — [image] I'm a HUGE Manny Pacquiao fan. If you want my worthless opinion, he's the most exciting fighter in the sport of boxing today and seems to have no ceiling. However, hanging with the Celtics after dismantling poor David Diaz knocks him down a peg in my book. If there's going to be post-fight video footage, it damn well better be of groupies doing things only imaginable in Vegas, not of Sam Cassell using his alien brain waves to hypnotize the Filipino media and of Kevin Garnett struggling to form a coherent thought. h/t to the always annoying/entertaining Barstool Sports Posted by McLane at 12:44 PM   ...
