Pacquiao-DLH Highlight - Golden No More

Hey guys, I just finished editing a highlight reel of the Pacquiao De La Hoya fight. Trying to test the waters with embedding YouTube HD vids as well, lets see if it works: I made some edits with some of the suggestions listed in this thread, including fight commentary and footage of DLH quitting on his stool. Unfortunately YouTube wouldn't let me upload it, and I had to find another place to host it. Version 1.5: Please let me know what you think! Greats video highlight mate... fantastic quality too!

Music was annoying. I really would like people not to Bother with "backgroud music", and actually trying to make the video better quality

the music was sick

Great! Nice vid, I thought DLH didn't threw any punches?but some of the clips in this video shows Oscar throwing punches but couldn't land Pac.

i would love to have the hd version

I know this is kind of late, but I made some edits to the original version taking some of the suggestions in this thread. I posted verson 1.5 in the first post, and I'll do it again in this one for you lazy people :) Changes: -Few video edits -Added fight commentary -Added footage of DLH quitting on his stool Sorry but I didn't change the music, it would've taken too much effort to do so. I also have a downloadable version in glorious 1920x1080 HD resolution. If interested please let me know, thanks!

dlh-forbes fight summary "De La Hoya attacked from the opening bell, and the fight soon settled into a predictable pattern, with De La Hoya stalking Forbes and punishing him with combinations to the body and head. Late in the second round, De La Hoya unleashed a five-punch combination that backed up Forbes, causing a small trickle of blood to drip from his nose. Forbes was rarely able to get inside De La Hoya’s reach or mount any sustained attack. Both boxers boxed at a high technical level, but De La Hoya was simply too fast, too strong, and too skilled for Forbes, as he pitched a near shut-out on the scorecards against the outgunned Forbes. " that was only 7 months ago and he didn't fight like a shot fighter. wtf could have happened between then and now? I just don't get it. I'm not surprised at pac winning, I'm just surprised at the way he won. I am still very mind boggled. cool idea... somebody should do a dlh/forbs and a dlh/pac vid to show how dlh got "shot" in 7 months...

Pretty much they saying nacho over trained him for this fight, thats the new excuse anyway.

in my opinion... right after the Dela Hoya vs Pacquiao (While Buffer is saying "lets get ready tooo rumbleee) thats wehre that song should've been stopped.... and then another song could've been used....for variety. Its a good intro song :)

Thanks for the constructive criticism guys, I may make a version 2 that has some of the fight's commentary. About the music, I can't change it now because the vid is specifically tailored for it, how I edit is I pick a song first and then build around it. I didn't really think about it not being a fight-friendly song until you guys brought it up. I have another Pacquiao highlight that features mainly rap/hip-hop and I thought I'd change it up a little. I do think that the some of the angst-y vocals can relate to DLH though, with lines like: "fear and panic in the air" "I can't get it right... since I met you" "when will this loneliness be over" :lol1:

that was nice... need different music though

Awesome video!!! Make us some more. Man, xcaret still knows boxing huh?!?!?! lol, it's good to have a court jester who thinks he know it all. Makes comedy easier

nice. you make any gifs?

I agree with badboypeenoy....add in some of the great commentary (make the music fade in and fade otu)....it'll make the HL 10x better than it already is!

wow, is that in hd or what? thought youtube doesn't do hd vids but yeah man, great vid, the music rocks man You can watch vids in HD..on youtube...theres an option that allows you to watch in HD... right on the bottom of the vid. hah..

I owe you a green K OP...f*ckin AWESOME HL.....love it.

Excellent video man. Are you a professional editor, because the pacing and flow of it was top notch. The music was fine until the guy started singing and it really didn't go with the fight imo. Your video was excellent I'd recommend finding a stronger track to ensure it becomes even more popular.

I suggest you keep some of the commentaries like "death by a thousand left hands" and other stuff, don't drown the video with music, specially one that doesn't compliment the visuals. My two cents. :D
