Anthems are on now Please don't post asking pointless questions, but if you are doing a round-by-round scorecard you are more than welcome to post it here
Manny walks to the ring and gets a fantastic reception as always. Diaz, the champion, walks to the ring as Pacquiao waits. Michael Buffer officially introduces the officials. The three judges are: Gary Meritt, CJ Ross and Paul Smith. The referee is Vic Drakulich. The fighters are introduced. We are nearly ready for the start now
Round One: The crowd chant "Manny, Manny, Manny" as the action begins. Pacquiao comes forward trying to land early. Not many punches get through put the ones that do are coming from Pacquiao. Round One goes to him.
Round Two: Pacquiao coming forward again. He is already landing his powerful left and to the body. He hits Diaz with a big combo. Diaz in trouble. Blood is coming from Diaz. He replies with a left hand but other than that it's one way traffic again. Pacquiao faster and more powerful. This round to him also.
Round Three: A little more scrappy this round, but Pacquiao is again allowed to land coming in. Diaz already looks outclassed. He tries to reply but isn't fast or strong enough.
Round Four: Pacquiao comes out and sticks to what he has done so far. Blood on Diaz' face. The ref stops the action to have cut checked. It's OK. Pacquiao then lands another good combo. Diaz in trouble again. To his credit he does reply with a couple of shots, but other than that it's all Pacquiao.
Round Five: All Diaz can do is hold on. Pacquiao can hit him at will. To his credit Diaz hangs in there and even lands a couple but Pacquiao is landing the harder shots. Diaz is in bad condition. Blood pouring down face from cut. Bad cut. Could be stopped if it gets worse.
Round Six: This round has more inside fighting. Diaz actually lands a couple of good shots, but they aren't hard or damaging. Pacquiao then replies with another swarm of punches. Diaz again has no answer and has to cover up. The doctor looks at the cut again. It's really bad now.
