    what to look for in dlh vs pacman

    Interesting points to look for

    oscar de la hoya
    1. an interesting point would be how da hell dlh is gonna make 147lbs
    he says he could make the weight with no problem.
    he struggled to make weight to fight trinidad on 1999
    2.how good his training cam will be with mayweather sr in big bear;
    dlh has a strong chance of having better defense against pacquiao on his toes and pumping the jab and i believe he could get a KO
    3.If he comes over the weight .3mil goes to pacquiao that's gonna hurt;
    so it would be interesting to follow the training, camp notes, and weigh-in
    4.we all know that pac can hardly speak english he is not a bad guy,
    dlh doesn't trash talk, when he does he is horrible, but we have mayweather sr. to beef with roach, another interesting point trainer vs trainer at pressers

    manny pacquiao
    1.One thing is how da hell he is gonna put all that weight in his body;
    if he walks around 147lbs he is flobby and not in shape, i don't think his
    speed will carry and after maybe 4 rds he will be tired as hell.
    2.who is gonna be the favorite in this one dlh or pacquiao.
    3.24/7 would be interesting to watch even though is a crappy fight,
    both fighters have to bust their ass to make weight, idk which is harder to do.

    DLH is going to have problems making weight, I don't care what he says, he couldn't even make 150 against Forbes so I actually don't expect him to make 147.

    Mayweather Sr. should just let go of trying to instill the shoulder roll defense into DLH's defense, it just doesn't work for him. DLH's jab will neutralize Pacquiao's speed.

    I believe Roach when he says he wants Pacquiao to weigh in at 140 and go into the fight at 147, so he should be in pretty good shape and if it's true that he's hiring Shilstone to help him bulk up, all the better.

    DLH is obviously the favorite, I can't believe Pacquiao is only a 2-1 underdog.

    Are they making a 24/7?

              I don't know about Oscar having trouble making weight. He said in awhile ago interview about if the fight WOULD ever get made, he would have no problem making weight because he was 152-153lbs at the time of the interview. Also Pacquiao obviously won't have problems making the weight. The question is how will he perform with the weight. You guys say he's gonna be flabby, but he was 147lbs when he fought Diaz. Did you see an ounce of fat on him then or speed decrease? It'll be more like, will that size and weight be effective against Oscar depending on how much Oscar weighs on fight night. You know Manny will either stay at 147lbs on fight night or come in around 150lbs which shouldn't be that much more dramatic. I think the story will mostly be how much bigger is Oscar naturally based on height, arm reach, and overall body thickness for being the naturally bigger man.

                Oh yeah, Oscar-Manny 24/7, if it happens, it'll own. How can Manny's part not be exciting when the man lives in a fish bowl of drama and excitement over in the Ph.? If anything, Oscar's side will be the boring half. I found it the boring half during the Floyd-Oscar one, and I hate Floyd, so that says a lot if I preferred his bull**** over Oscars.
