By playing Oscars stamina.
Look, Manny is not going to knock Oscar out with a good combo or two to the chin.
He knocked Barrera and Morales out by wearing them down.
Oscar has bad stamina for a boxer. Manny can weave and work the body very well. He proved that against Erik Morales, but in recent fights he's been fighting counter punchers which nullify his body attack and Diaz was and experimental opponent.
Manny normally fights in bursts. In the Diaz fight Manny was being consistent.
Heres my argument for Manny winning (even though its very unlikely):
Even though Oscar has an incredible height and reach advantage
Oscars stamina always fades. Now if you pair that in with body work, You'll get a KO. Now Manny is on the short end of the stick here, being 4 inches shorter than Oscar. But If Manny gets on the inside with oscar, Oscars height and reach advantage wont do ****, so probably the only advantages Oscar will have if Manny gets on the inside is the ability to wear Manny out during a clinch and strength.
So if Manny gets on the inside Manny can start tearing Oscar up to the body real bad. Considering that Manny is much faster than Oscar, if Manny ducks or weaves one of Oscars shots while Manny is on the inside Manny can land a couple of good body shots here and there. Coupling that up with Mannys intensity and the fact that Oscar tends to fade in the late rounds means that Manny just might be able to wear Oscar out and get him TKO'd.
But thats ofcourse everything goes according to plan.
Other than that it's more likely that the fight will go something like this:
People keep saying "Mannys going to get hit by that jab all night and will have his brain damaged"
Well let me
