Among those calling the action for TV Azteca was the great Julio César Chávez, who was a bit cantankerous, to say the least. Among the gems: David Diaz is the worst lightweight champ in history, Las Vegas is a bunch of thieves, and referee Joe Cortez is racist against Mexicans.

Pacquiao Wins
Manny Pacquiao's debut at 135 pounds was sensational. He dominated David Diaz from the opening bell until the ninth-round knockout, which came on a short left cross that called to mind Joe Louis. Pacquiao boxed better than he ever has before, and threw a greater variety of punches than I've ever seen from him. It was the most crushing defeat of a champ since...Lacy-Calzaghe? Maybe Mayweather-Gatti? USSR-USA in Lake Placid?
