David Díaz (born June 7, 1976) is an American former professional boxer. He is a former WBC lightweight champion, losing this title to Manny Pacquiao in his only defense. ==Professional career== Diaz accumulated a record of 26-0 before losing his first bout to Kendall Holt via 8th round technical knockout. He defeated José Armando Santa Cruz for the interim title on August 12, 2006. On February 20, 2007, Diaz was awarded the title when Joel Casamayor, the champion at the time, was stripped of the title for signing to fight WBO champion Acelino Freitas rather than defend against him. (It should be noted the lightweight title bout between old foes Casamayor and Freitas never took place. Freitas fought and lost his WBO title to WBA champion Juan Díaz instead.) Diaz defeated Mexican legend Erik Morales on August 4, 2007 by a controversial unanimous decision to defend his title.〔http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=19885〕 On June 28, 2008, Diaz lost his title to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas via ninth-round knockout earning Pacquiao his fifth world championship in five different weight divisions.〔( Inquirer.net, Pacquiao fight biggest of my life, says Diaz )〕〔( Abs-Cbn Interactive, TV Patrol: Pacquiao at David Diaz magtutuos sa June 28 sa Las Vegas )〕 After a one-year lay-off Diaz returned to the ring on September 26, 2009. He took on Jesús Chávez and won by majority decision. On March 13, 2010, Diaz challenged Humberto Soto for his old WBC lightweight title, which had recently been vacated by Edwin Valero, on the undercard of Pacquiao's fight with Joshua Clottey. Soto defeated Diaz, dropping him in the opening and closing rounds, en route to a unanimous decision victory.〔http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/03/13/2038283/humberto-soto-wins-decision-over.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Díaz (boxer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
