What Pacquiao needs to do to beat DELAHOYA.

[magicjordan]

What's the best strategy so Pacman beats Dela Hoya?
Do he need to fight Oscar toe-to-toe from beginning to the end?
Or box Delahoya in the first half of the fight then seek and destroy him. Move and box with Dela Hoya throughout for a decision win.Your opinion.

I think his best shot is to be the counterpuncher, make DLH miss and make him pay to the best of his ability, work the body when he can to try and make DLH fade down the stretch, and use his footwork....a lot.

I see that being his best strategy but I still don't think he'd win with it.

Good post.

Pac needs to constantly be the first to get off. He is much faster than ODLH and he needs to get in and out very quickly.

Avoid getting hit. Hit Oscar to the body to wear him down, move a lot..

Tight defense and land a massive liver shot. Kinda like Penalosa did to a much taller Gonzalez.

Thats the key ... he wont have tasted the power of someone at Oscars weight before, the fight COULD be over before it begins if he gets caught flush as thats the 1st real test.
after that, i would stay on the outside for the early rounds scoring with the straight right and when DLH forces the issue, work the body to try to slow DLH down for the later rounds.
Once Oscar has slowed he should go all out for him, especially if he has landed anything decent that far and gotten a reaction from Oscar.

Hope Osca runs out of gas by round 10 and stop him with a body shot. If Pac can take Osca's onslaught.

He needs to move in and out and fight inside but then get out of there quick, He is deffanatly faster, but by no means is he more powerful
