[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

During a recent conference call with the media, Oscar De La Hoya, president of Golden Boy Promotions, appeared to be leaning towards Marco Antonio Barrera to win the Oct. 6 rematch with Manny Pacquiao. [details]

ODH is officially the most dellusional man on the planet. Barrera won't last 6 rounds. I have said it before and I will say it again, this fight will be a replay of Pac Man vs Morales lll.

Technically he promotes Pacquiao too.

DLH's vision may be cloudy, and his statements have no validity in my opinion. But why does everybody think Pacquiao is just gonna steamroll one of the best technical boxers around? Although it is true that Barrera needs to turn back the hands of time in order to win, I don't believe for one second that this is gonna be a walk in the park for Pacquiao. People base their decisions on hype far too often, and they neglect to analyze the track records of the fighters. I don't think you can ever count out a fighter with Barrera's heart, determination, and most of all, supreme technical skill.

Did he lean towards Barrera or bend over??

I know it's difficult to believe that some people think that MAB can come out on top!

I mean don't get me wrong, Pac is probably gonna come out swinging and try to knock out MAB in the first round, but MAB isn't Erik Morales. MAB is a lot more technical when he needs to be, that's why I think MAB has a good chance of countering Pacquiao and actually putting up a really good fight. There's an actual chance of him winning. If he loses, I doubt he's just gonna stand there and let himself get destroyed in 6 rounds like many people are predicting will happen.

I was talking to all the doubters out there!

I don’t think you can ever count MAB out. I think Barrera has seen something that leads him to believe that he can win. On the other hand, Pacquiao has gotten so good it’s incredible. I think we’re in for a really good fight but I think Barrera is going to win.
