Final Prediction: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao

This fight means shit, SHIT. I repeat, SHIIIIIIIIT.

 

DLH TKO 7

 

I think Tyson-McNeely.

 

No, they picked Tyson by KO so obviously the official ruling became a DQ. It shows you what powers those two hold::

 

I'm interested to see what the media poll looks like for this fight.

 

I'm really suprised at anyone picking pacman to win.

I hope he does but can not see it

if you shrunk DLH down to pac's size.. he'd STILL win.. he is the better boxer

 

So far I only know of one non-Filipino writer picking Pacquiao to win. Well, two, including Aaron.

 

It will be another Tito-Jones. Oscar allows Manny to stay in the fight for couple of rounds, then spanks him rest of the way. Oscar UD, 116-111, 117-110 and 116-110 from the judges

 

I'm guessing you haven't seen this yet, Jake:

 

it's not like Manny is Floyd..
Manny is not a real boxer!!! he's not going to circle and use speed and go in and out..

he is going to go RIGHT AT DLH.. who is bigger and stronger and will put Manny on his back

 

damn, I just sent that to Marley less than two hours ago. ::

I knew Steve (among most others) was rooting for Pacquiao, wasn't sure if he'd pick him to win, though.

 

I concede a strong possibility of Oscar by KO, but am holding out for the Oscar gets old/Pacquiao is a very good little man approach.

I picked pacquiao, but its a 55/45 pick.

But the way most tell it, this is a 95/5 type of fight, which I just don't see at all....

5 years ago, yes. But now?

 

steve kim is hardly shilling for pacquaio. Though I can't really recall a recent non-tune up fight where he actually picked Delahoya.

 

::

I guess I really am one of hte few non-DLH die-hards that would actually prefer he won.

In fact, I'm hoping Pacquiao gets beaten badly enough that he drops any notion of fighting above 135 until he's at least fought one real elite fighter at the weight.

I hope Hatton-Pacquiao has no viability after Saturday night.

 

De La Hoya KO Pacquiao 3

 

Pacman by KO. DLH is done!

 

you'd rather see DLH-Hatton? Not even see it, but have to endure the press tour behind that one?

 

Reading Hatton say this "If Manny beats Oscar I might get my dream of becoming the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world" was enough for me not to want to see them fight.

It's not really a preference for DLH-Hatton, though I do think it'd be a far bigger event than Hatton-Pacquiao (even if Pac beat DLH).

I don't know, I think I'd rather see Pacquaio lose some of the available money options if it increases the chances of a third go around with Marquez...or one of the "other" lightweight champions.

 

Even if DLH were to lose, and it was a competitive loss, I think DLH-Hatton would still be a strong possibility

 

Lets not forget that JMM rocked manny. Oscar will hit him 2x or 3x as hard. Oscar KO in 4 5 or 6.

Not to mention Erik Morales used his size to bully Manny around int their first fight.

Fightnews:

 

Isn't it Kinda EARLY for this Sort of thing to B ANNOUNCED???:dunno:...Generally, the Selection of Refs & Judges is Kept QUIET, to Lower the Chances of them Being COMPROMISED...


REED:hammert:

 

6 pages for a fight that nobody here cares about. :boohoo:

 

I was saying that a week or so ago. How quickly many forget.

 

DLH by decision. Pacquiao has more success than expected, but the decision is clear cut.


DLH is such an annoying person, it's really unbelievable.

 

:bears:

 

I love manny pac...but i think hoya is gonna fuck him up in a 1 sided yet exciting fight.....hoya is gonna remind everyone how great he is even though he is past his prime

 

Beating on a guy so much smaller doesn't really show "greatness".

 

the fact that they once fought on the same card, 7 divisions apart doesn't bother any of you chaps picking pacquaio to be competitive??
