Could anyone ever have imagined the Dream Match on Saturday, 23 June 2001?

At that time, no one even imagine he could beat Barrera. :D I remember watching the Barerra fight. I was sold on Pacquiao at that point and had a feeling he could hurt Marco.

Saturday, 23 June 2001 Oscar De La Hoya was making his debut at 154lbs against Javier Castillejo for the WBC Jr Middle strap. On the undercard: Manny Pacquiao vs Lehlohonolo Ledwaba for the 122lbs IBF title. The venue: The MGM Grand. Oscar won a 12 round decision dropping Castillejo in the final seconds. Manny destroyed Ledwaba inside six rounds. Seven years later, at that same venue, Manny Pacquiao dismantles Oscar De La Hoya in eight rounds. Could anyone ever have imagined this? At that time, no one even imagine he could beat Barrera. :D

Hell no. It wasn't even imaginable when it was first signed. Just shows how unreal Pac is.It also shows how greedy Oscar is. Fool tried cashing in on a big payday by picking on a much, much smaller man and he end up getting his ass kicked instead. Looks to me like he got exactly what he deserved.

Hell no. It wasn't even imaginable when it was first signed. Just shows how unreal Pac is.

I already Paid.. There are 3 people who handles my account dude.. I have work so I seldom browse here. How many celebrities did you saw there? You got hella points again, did you bet on this fight? I seen so many fighters there, got pics with Freddy, Ricky, Haye, Juanma, Steven Luevano, Izzy Vasquez, Daniel Zaragoza, Oscar Larios. Got a glove signed by Angelo Dundee and Freddie Roach. The MGM was packed all weekend.

Pacquiao was at 122 while DLH was at 154. Yep, and you owe me 10K.

good call bro! my seat was only 500 more than yours and i was in row 8! but yeah back to the subject of this thread its all karma/inspiration to me. PS: still loving the ring card girl's booty in ya avator have some green K bro! Thanks man. You know, I paid 500 more than face value for this damn ticket. Damn ticket brokers. And after it was supposedly sold out, the tickets go back on sale at face value. I was pissed. I should have just got one from a scalper. You got any pics, I probably seen you there and don't even know it.
