De La Hoya Leans Toward Barrera To Win

[BROOKLYN CESAR]

Thats a big call from dlh!!! I hope Barrera can pull it off but im not sure how this one will go!!! Manny isnt anyone to be taken lightly!!!

DLH needs to stop leaning so much, that's what got him in this mess

Let me guess, did you hear that from his close personal confidante Rex "wakee" salud? or did you hear that in an overseas telephone conversation with Manila Standard Today?

no, my wife told me. I was undergoing CT scan for my annual physical checkup when she broke the news. I think she read it on some paper.

everyone's got a gameplan... until they get HIT!!! --Mirko Cro cop


If MAB wasnt able stop Marquez barrage in the later rounds, i dont see him stopping pac's pressure from 1 - end. You give much emphasis on how intelligent MAB is -- yes he is a thinking fighter -- but at age 33, what your mind can conceive doesnt mean your body can achieve.

Good luck to MAB... i hope he gets out of the fight safely.

Still, you can't take away anything from Pacquiao from winning that fight. If Pacquiao was not in his best form that night, I don't think he would win. You said that "MAB is still one of the best counterpunchers in the game today" and I agree. However, he was unable to counter Pacquiao in their first meeting. He tried to adjust to Pacquiao's style but Pacquiao was still able to overwhelm him. Unless he has the power the discourage Pacquiao from attacking constantly then he will be overwhelmed again.

KABOOM!!!

I really hope they get JMM after this Fight. 2 to 3 yrs more for PAC and i hope he retires.

it is no surprise that dlh picked mab to win. could it be because they are both mexican? just my feeling on this.

personally, i like pac in this one. it should be a good fight though.
