Oscar De La Hoya Slapped Around By Ivan Calderon?

[Bhopreign]

I believe it, first of all he said slapped around, that doesnt mean Calderon beat him to a pulp. This is sparring and who knows what Oscar was trying to work on, Calderon moves alot better than Oscar and I can see Calderon SLAPPING Oscar around a bit, getting in and out and turning Oscar before Oscar can land.

What a big load of BS! LOL OMG!
This BS is getting so out of hand, do they really expect a ****** person to believe it?

[Dan...]

Yeah, this is just getting beyond ridiculous now.

I know the parties involved are trying VERY hard to sell the upcoming Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view as a "fight of the century" encounter, but the pre-fight shilling is starting to get to point of being absurd. In his blog for Ring Magazine, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach claims that Ivan Calderon slapped around Oscar De La Hoya when the two of them sparred last year. [details]

roach may be exaggerating but didn't Caldero say that DLH has problems w/ speedsters.

If it happened this year I would believe it. But last year Dela looked pretty good. I'm not sure any more how much he has left...

[theggamme209]

Yeah Right!!

[lcheezy]

this is garbage. calderon is a south paw. why in the hell would you bring him in for a mayweather fight. i'm still not buying the fight.they're not taking my money. i'll wait one week later and see this cowardly act by de la hoya.i still don't blame manny for taking the fight with the money he'll make.

[MANGLER]

After Pac gets KTFO, somebody, anybody, please whoop DLH's ass.

[ragingvic]

I wish it was roach who was going to get his ass kicked in there and not manny.

First of all, I doubt it. Second of all, I don't see what relevance it has. If Manny had ANY similarities to Calderon besides being a southpaw, than maybe I could see it. Manny couldn't be more different, styles wise, from Calderon. ****** all around.
