David Diaz: The Mountain Province Connection

Joaquin Henson said that one of the two full-time sparring partners of David Diaz for the Pacquiao fight was Diamond Gutomen Baier, 31, a Mountain Province-born boxer. He was chosen because he moves like Pacquiao. And to think that Baier only started to box five years ago. His father is Telesforo Gutomen and the late Verina Tuason. Diamond migrated to the US when he was ten years old. He was adopted by his aunt who was married to a German, William Baier. Diamond wants to turn pro.
