[Title] => Diaz wants Pacman in list of victims
[Summary] =>
Add Juan Diaz, a Mexican-born and undefeated champion in the lightweight division, to the distinguished list of fighters dreaming of a multi-million-dollar showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
After scoring his 32nd win via an eighth-round knockout of Acelino Freitas in the US yesterday, Diaz said a fight with Pacquiao, regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter today, would be a dream. (Related story on A-33)
But the Pacquiao camp wouldn’t fall into the trap.
Not for now.

[Title] => One more fight for Erik
[Summary] =>
Despite absorbing a severe thrashing from Manny Pacquiao in his third straight loss two weeks ago, Erik Morales isn’t hanging up his gloves.
Morales, 30, said before facing Pacquiao in the climax of their trilogy that he would decide whether or not to retire depending on the outcome of the rubber match. The Mexican was floored thrice by Pacquiao in suffering his second career knockout defeat and has now lost four of his last five outings. The expectation was he would announce his retirement after the devastating loss.

[Title] => Diaz not taking Suico lightly in WBA title defense
[Summary] => Unbeaten World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Juan Diaz of Mexico said he is not taking Randy Suico lightly, even as he admitted the Cebuano hard-puncher as the toughest fighter he ever faced.
"Pacquiao started out with losses too," Diaz told Thesweetscience.com. "I don't look past anyone. I respect every fighter. Besides, Suico will be up for his biggest opportunity to date so he'll be ready."

[Title] => Elorde foe to relive memories
[Summary] => Filipino sports fans will always remember Harold Gomes as the fighter whom the legendary Flash Elorde dethroned as world junior lightweight champion in the inaugural Araneta Coliseum show on March 16, 1960.
Close to 40,000 fans packed the Big Dome for Gomes’ first defense of the 130-pound crown and 5,000 more–who couldn’t be squeezed in–waited outside the stadium, listening to a ringside blow-by-blow account through a loud speaker hurriedly connected by the Araneta family.
