If Oscar would have been aloud to rehydrate completely, would things still have...

I knew he was gonna get fined for weighin in higher than 147, but unofficially how the **** could there have been a regulation on it? I never heard that. Thats weird, I've never hearda that. Yeah, never heard of it either.. which is why I asked but no one replied.

dlh did it his damn self, no one forced him... this fight was a lose lose situation from the jump. stop trying to make excuses, dlh got his ass kicked end of story. at the end of the day he stilll had the reach, height, and power advantage ugh.. you are an idiot. no one is making excuses here, dumbass.

147 was obviously his walk around weight.

DLH was only going to be fined mad money only if he came in overweight. Meaning if he didn't make weight at the scales ala Guzman.

gone the same? I'm watching the fight right now and De La Hoya only went up 2 pounds. No wonder he looked sluggish. My question is, if he would have been aloud to balloon up to his regular fight night weight.. would things have gone differently? I can't remember the last time someone wasn't aloud to rehydrate.. I've sparred dehydrated before but never fought more then 3 rounds and it was very hard. dlh did it his damn self, no one forced him... this fight was a lose lose situation from the jump. stop trying to make excuses, dlh got his ass kicked end of story. at the end of the day he stilll had the reach, height, and power advantage

He didn't lose water weight. His strange diet of deer and kangaroo helped him lose weight, but it affected his speed, power, stamina. Props to Manny though.

no, he had to weigh in at 147 or under he could have went up as high as he wanted after that he just didnt :dunno: o.. then what a dumbass lol

Oscar just did too much diet, and too much running maybe. Too much cardio work. Look at his skinny legs, no wonder why there was no power behind his punches and he was not explosive. But he didnt look much better against Forbes really. Pacquiao made Oscar look slow and ordinary, thats it. Even if he would have fought at 160, i dont think he wouldnt have won either, but it wouldnt been so one sided and Pacquiao wouldnt have stopped him.

I've sparred dehydrated before but never fought more then 3 rounds and it was very hard. He did it to himself. He could have weighed in at 147 and then rehydrated to as big as he wanted to. He really should have weighed in at 147 and weighed in the high 150s during the fight. He probably wouldn't have been so sluggish and he may have even stolen a round or two and possibly could have made it to the end. We'll never know though because he starved himself and weighed in at such a light weight and got his ass handed to him.

someone said he couldn't gain more then a few pounds on fight night or he would be fined mad money. I actually don't blame him for quitting now. I'm not sure that was in the contract. Please provide the proof if you can. But, if it was, then Pacquiao played it perfectly. The guy has only been at 135 for one fight, so he's basically moving up from 130.....a whopping 17 pounds to get DLH! If being at 147 on fight night was in the contract, it was a brilliant move. Otherwise, Mannie gets completely outsized.

no amount of liquids would've saved DLH from that ass whipping. He's done, Pac-man was just in a zone.

He hydrated otherwise he wouldnt of been fat and saggy...

What do you mean he wasnt allowed to rehydrate? someone said he couldn't gain more then a few pounds on fight night or he would be fined mad money. I actually don't blame him for quitting now.

he was allowed to rehydrate for whatever reason he didn`t

why was he not allowed to rehdyrate I have no clue.. I just heard this right now and hadn't seen the fight so when I started watching it I saw he only gained two pounds over night. TBH he kinda deserved it though..

why was he not allowed to rehdyrate
