HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. – During his international media conference call yesterday, OSCAR DE LA HOYA stated that he would be “extremely disappointed” if his upcoming showdown with MANNY PACQUIAO did not end in a knockout. “It would be a total disaster.”
Pacquiao’s trainer, World-Famous Freddie Roach, empathized with The Golden Boy.
“Tell Oscar not to worry, the fight WILL end in a knockout. On December 6, Oscar’s going to think he’s back in the 1930’s when Manny airmails him into The Great Depression,” responded Roach.
“I can see when the paperback version of Oscar’s autobiography comes out. It will begin by paraphrasing the opening line of Moby Dick. Only instead of starting with ‘Call me Ishmael,' it will be 'Call me Ishtar,’ one of the biggest box office flops in motion picture history. Mark my words he will flop too. Oscar can’t pull the trigger anymore. Losing all that weight doesn’t impress me. Twiggy is going to find out that looking the part is not equivalent to acting the part, a lesson Muhammad Ali learned when he fought Larry Holmes."
