Final Prediction: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao

Delahoya KO 8!

This fight will be hilarious ::

 

I HAVEN'T BET IN YEARS. However, the Pacman fans were talking too much shit. Pac is one of my FAVS TOO and I wish Oscar would retire. Lok and Double L picked DLH. I feel I have lost already.

 

Great another jinx.

 

how? I'm usually right with predictions. I haven't made many predictions lately is not like I got a bad streak going. :dunno:

 

Does Mijares-Vic count? Jesus you were so sure Mijares would win. Mijares instead got treated like a bitch.

 

If I remember correctly you picked Mijares also correct?

I never said I am never wrong. Besides part of the reason Vic won is because he improved alot. It wasn't the same one dimensional crab walking idiot that beat Mijares.

I think Vic surprised alot of people that night.

 

correcto!!

 

It's pretty funny that you require a fake Mexican twice Pacquioa's size in order to feel vindicated my piece..:doh:

 

DLH should win this with the jab alone which will be his best weapon against Manny.

Manny's best shot will come from a body attack. Hopefully Oscar won't be wearing his waders so Manny has the chance to do some damage.

Should be a UD for DLH , who has too much skill and is too big to get caught by Manny ... but I predict Manny will make it interesting and even win a round or two.

If Manny were to win , it's either a body shot that does the deed , or Hoya completely gasses which I highly doubt. Oscar is ready to go 12 and it may be a very easy 12.

 

This fight might be a surprise, depending on how much Oscar has left, and how much Manny retains of his power and speed at that higher weight. I'll make a common sense prediction though : Oscar TKO 8.

 

Yes from experience...it's best to pick with common sense. Manny can only win with a sudden change in weather: Hell freezing over.

 

I seriously doubt Manny's retaining power will be a problem ... speed could be an issue as he looks like it's all muscle weight and that's going to slow him down a bit.

 

I wish my jinx was still on..

I'm picking DLH to STRETCH Pac

 

It's in the capable hands of Double L.

 

if it goes to the cards theyll give it to pacquiao believe that.

pac controversial split decision (or maybe he gets KOed...who knows)

officially i gotta go with oscar TKO 10, but im hoping for a miracle.

 

Not necessarily, but if any of the rounds are close they'll likely go to Manny.

 

retaining powe®??::

I'm sure he won't hit any less hard than he did at 130, the problem here is he'll be fighting a guy 4 divisions and 25lbs above the last decent foe he faced.

 

The difference is I gave Vic a good chance. Here was your post.....

Vic has punchers' chance of course. But that is all he has. He has to land that one shot to make it count. He can't rely on anything else.

Mijares is too versatil for this retard. Just watching Vic move around the ring is funny as hell.

You do realize I was quoting someone else right?

 

Honestly, I'm still having a hard time with this one. Have to go with the size... Oscar, by decision. I think he'll back up and box more than expected. If he tries to trade and bomb Manny out he gets beaten to the punch, IMO.

It's going to be close and it might go to Manny... but Oscar based on the jab and Pacquiao being a little too stunned to adjust well enough.

 

Me too. I don't think it is a joke like many other say. Manny has a chance albeit 10 to 30%.

 

Sure but when a fighter is shot, he loses his punch resistance. I don't know if Oscar is there yet, in fact I doubt it, but if he's there and Manny keeps his speed at 147, maybe the combination of his power and his speed will be enough to keep Oscar honest. As I said earlier, I'm making a prediction based on common sense, but there's certainly a possibility that Oscar's decline combined with Manny's attributes could lead to a very different fight that we all expected. That's all I'm saying.

 

What can I say? I live for this shit. I can't wait. ::

 

Pac by decision, hoping Oscar pulls it out though.

 

::

 

I don't know if I've voted, but now knowing the weights, I'll take Pacquiao by decision.

 

Why???... De La Hoya doesn't deserve anything positive out of this fight.

 

He's taking on THE p4p fighter at the end of his career when he is past it, I hope he doesn't get hurt. He is showing alot of courage here.

 

Sounds like you are talking about RJJ
