* it would be difficult, but i hope so too! 🙂

When is the Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao fight anyway?

this saturday

F*ing Oscar is getting $20 mil guaranteed while Manny is only getting $6 mil. I hope however unlikely that Manny knocks him on his ass.

haha...audley harrison got beat by a belfast cab driver...what a useless old ****

good wins for Froch, Maccarinelli and Khan though

Go Manny

Simply outclassed.

Didn't really see a point in this fight.

Oscar just looked like he had nothing to give...i think it's time he gave up the fight game cause he clearly doesn't have the killer instinct

Oscar was outclassed in every category.
Speed, power, athleticism, technique...

Good show for Manny, considering the fact that this is his FIRST Lightweight division fight.

Oscar hasn't had it in a long time. Its sad to see the great ones get beat up

Love the embrace with Freddie

Manny vs Hatton

Go Manny. Filipino pride woot

Yep.

Hatton, watch out.
YOU"RE NEXT!!

Flip pride y'all beerw00t

I was hoping this fight would last till the 12 round. De La Hoya had the power but it was Manny who had the speed.

Good fight.

Nah, Manny had both. Oscar's clearly past his prime, so I hesitate to say that we can tell a ton about Manny from the fight. But Ring magazine has him as the best pound-for-pound in the world right now, and they're usually pretty justified in their rankings. I hope he does fight Hatton next, where we can really learn something about both.

Too bad Oscar,

I think you are past your prime

Praise for Manny

He's been past his prime.

i said to my friend that the fight would end around the 8th or 9th and pacman would win

cant wait for the hatton fight

What made Oscar lose is he focused too much on Pacquiao's left hand.
He didn't know that his jabs are just as powerful.
Also, it was good that he followed Freddy Roach's advise.

BTW, Oscar >> Ricky Hatton.
So I would expect the same outcome with that fight.

Don't forget, that fight is Manny's FIRST Lightweight fight!
He is undoubtedly the best P4P boxer in the world.

* yes, i was hoping for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight... want to see Pacman eats the Money, hehehe... 🙂

If Pacquiao and Mayweather fight, Mayweather is going to get messed up, and receive his 1st loss.
