Lion Heart

As expected by many, Chicago's finest David Diaz was defeated by one of the best fighters in history--Manny Paquiao. Although Paquiao gave Diaz one of the worst beatings and demonstrated his superiority, it was boxing at its best. A "fajador" vs. a "tecnico/fajador", two men who worked and trained at the highest level, with the goal of becoming the best. Diaz was slaughtered in the ring, but showed character and a heart of a warrior. Meanwhile, Paquiao-- a true gentleman-- is a perfect example of how boxers should act on-and-off the ring, more importantly he continued his reign in boxing.
