Pacquaio vs De La Hoya?

[Jetplane]

TT> That's what i'm saying man... the speed of the flip will be frustrating to DLH. Dunno if his mind is sharp enough to keep himself in the game for the full duration.

Over 9 and a half rounds -185 is money. This one goes the distance. Both boxers have solid chins, has either ever been KO'd?

What are you trying to determine? Oscar has been knocked out by Hopkins, who is really a 175-pounder. What does that tell you about the Pacquio fight? The answer is: absolutely nothing. Pacquiao has suffered a couple of flash knockdowns by 118-pounders. What does that tell you? Again, zilch. :missingte

Garbage fight. Don't waste your money on that shit. If you buy the PPV, you're inviting Oscar-the-promoter to cook up more stupid fights like these.

I don't know about DLH but to my recolletion--Manny has yet to be KO'd. He was headbutted in a match vs Solis I believe but he ended up KO'ing him too.

 

[Jetplane]

My bad... i dug up that he was KO'd twice in his career while still fighting in the PHILL. but never been KO'd in any US fights. Only MEXICAN FIGHTER to draw was Juan Manuel Marquez. He's fought 12 of them, lost none.

Damn, I meant to post an article that I read in the LVRJ last week about this fight. I'll try to dig it up, but the jist of it was that DLH doesn't have the speed to stay in this fight.

It's not going to be a big play for me, but I'll be taking the +180 (Actually, I think I can find it even higher than that out here).

Don't waste your money, the article is wrong.

Agree 100%. Manny is too small to hurt Oscar.Goes to the cards.

See boys... drinking that 40 yr old juice anymore? He's done. 4-0 in DeLaHoya fights... that's your one and only JETPLAAAAAAAAANE

Size DOES NOT matter

:nohead:

 

[Jetplane]

"battered" "TKO" all i needed to know lol

 

[go2guy]

Forgot about this thread, nice call Jetplane. You were spot on

 

[Jetplane]

-195? wow... what's the age difference? I'm not sure that Oscar will be standing in round 8... should end by 6 or 7 in my opinion--DLH getting KO'd from exhaustion.

thanks GO2, I was off by a round though lol. I never actually got to watch the fight but from what i hear from others and the highlights i got to see on TV--it looks like my "old man" theory was right. his reflexes looked slow, and he didn't show any sign of aggresiveness to come back. Either he thinks he's Ali and is gonna come back after slow-playing it or he was done for. At 90yrs old, you're usually just done for. I think that if he doesn't retire, he'll find some washed up boxer to pit up against and make it easy for him to go out on a bang.

I'm not so sure he wants to end his career losing to a smaller flip. I have no problem with DLH and I think he's achieved A TON and he's the all-american boxer if we had one, but he's just getting up there and he should hang it up soon.

If he does fight again, it'll be against Chavez Jr. on Cinco De Mayo. count on it.

He is calling out Paris Hilton.
