Why would Oscar de la Hoya counter with a right? He is never good at it before. He must have counter with his left jab. Angelo Dundee knew they could not win the fight even before it started. :boxing:
Manny Paquiao Collections
Oscar de la Hoya, Angelo Dundee and Nacho Beristain have been too long in the boxing business they knew what weight to achieve and how to maintain it. The 145 lbs Oscar registered at weigh in has been his 'normal' weight in training so it is wrong to say he is dehydrated when he climb the ring at 147 lbs. Oscar took away his size advantage and he did it on purpose. Even if he fought at 160 lbs he still will lose. Just review his fight with Steve Forbes and you'll know why he loses to Manny Pacquiao.
