No doubt, Jab.They can't get a sparring partner that equals Delahoya and I expect Delahoya to win by KO.I think it's a ridiculous fight that is not really for hard core serious boxing fans. It's more of a novelty fight. just think the sparring partners are not going to be easy for Paquiao which is what he needs.
Agreed, Yuri's power? LOL ridiculous, that guy fights nothing like DLH. Pacman is going to get smashed. KD Cotto is a small feat compared to DLH who has been in with much heavier handed fighters. He has deceptive speed and built his name on devastating combinations(he does have a right). I don't think Pacman realizes how tall DLh will be next to him(6 in difference). DLH is by far the heaviest handed puncher he has faced. Speed, accuracy, and smoothness of his hook isn't normal, it is an amazing left hook. Preparing with those guys will probably show a worse hook with less power. But whatever makes you feel confident.
I was thinkin this but then i realized realized Pac has alot of advantages if he can survive early. He is faster, he is a southpaw, he has better stamina, has faster feet, but DLh has the power. I think of Pac can dig hard to the body early and slow DLh down by round 4 or 5 he can start putting some serious damage on him. I dont think Pacman has a ton of power but he has the speed to make Dlh think twice about going to wild. If Pacman survives early i think he has got a shot.
Problem is Oscar won't feel those punches. Remember Floyd vs Oscar, now take away Floyd's defensive skills and add an head on in-front-of-you style and less pop. That's Manny-Oscar right there.
I heard Ivan Calderon knocked out Mike Tyson out cold in sparring and Tyson was covered in bubble rap, a tempur pedic blanket, his head gear, with a NY Jets Footbal Helmet on, and Ivan was using goose feather gloves with with a gell outer coating because he had fractured every bone in his knock out hand.
