      Not really it's dumb if you ask me....Roach giving his away his game plan that's ******...I'm not buying this "attack him in round 1"...It's easy for pacman and roach to say this at lightweight and do it against Diaz, but this is at welterweight and against ODLH...if he does the foolish **** he will get koed...

        It doesn't matter if Oscar knows. He is going to get ****ed up in December and be forced to stick around boxing a little longer.

            I was just being sarcastic, it's a horrible tactic, it'd make the fight entertaining but it'd end with Pacquiao looking at the lights.

              It will be attacks to the body from Round 1 on.. Roach's plan is to break down DLH's body from the get go. A body shot from B-Hop is what dropped DLH. Imagine cumulative Pacquiao body shots from all angles on DLH. Thats the best way to go after Oscar and his aging self. Yes Oscar has the height and reach but Manny's height would make it more effective for him to go for DLH's body. This is Pacs best chance, Body shots, body shots, body shots. Thats how you break down a bigger opponent. Something Cotto should of done to slow down Margarito.

                if he attacks very recklus he may wind up being knock out in the first round. This is probably just Roach saying this to may Hoya think Pac will attack in the first round, but change up the strategy.

                  The thing is, if Pac keeps going to the body that left hook of Hoya may very well land sooner rather than later. Pac better switch it up and not leave himself open when going to the body. He better just do lunging straight lefts and move to the side like Jones does so he will be in little danger from a counter hook. If he can do that, Pac has a good chance of winning as long as he stays composed and don't let the pressure make him tired more than usual.

                    i don't know if i'd want to drop my hands to go to the body if i was a littler man against the drag queen. oscar's still got a fast left hook. manny is a good puncher he doesn't hit as hard as hopkins, de la fishnets was the smaller man when he got KO'd to the body. what if the drag queen decides to play the game also and beats manny's body? nothing is happening other than manny getting knocked the f.uck out when he gets in the ring with de la fishnets
