De la Hoya isn't going to KO Manny until later in the fight...

I wish Pacquiao would hire Margarito to come out of the entrance into the ring instead of Manny just to scare Oscar. I can see Oscar's balls jump up to his neck. It would probably be Margarito's biggest payday yet.

I could see DLH taking the first round easy and see what he's up against. After analysing the first round and seeing how well he can dictate the match he will probably let Manny win a couple of rounds and reserving energy. In the later rounds where he would be wear and tear (In a competative match where $$$ isn't the only thing on the line) he will come out and be more agressive and look for a knockdown. Otherwise If DLH just wanted a flat out win he could probably do it in the earlier rounds since he has a couple more advantages over Manny.

i agree 100% i have said this before!

I think ODLH going to take pac out around 6-7 rounds, just to make it seem competative.

DLH knows it isn't going to be a competative match and is going to control the fight so it seems like it is and people are getting there moneys worth. If he went in there and got the KO in round 1 then people would be pissed off. Funny you should say that...my neighbor and I were just talking about the fight just a few minutes ago and trying to determine the outcome of the fight. Basically, we both agreed that since there is so much disparity in both size and power that DLH would probably let it go to the latter rounds. I predict the fight will get stopped somewhere around the 10th or 11th rounds just to make it seem close up into then. Anything other than this to me would mean the fix in on. IMO Your thoughts? I see what both of you are saying.....BUT, De La Puta isnt really a second half fighter, gets tired and usually follows the lead of the aggressive fighter... If he lets it go into the latter rounds it will be in Pacs favor..... Thats why i think De La Puta will win with a TKO in 4
