Manny Pacquiao's Training Winds Down, Still Looking Sharp

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao sparred eight rounds against welterweight Rashad Holloway (9-1, 5 KO’s) and undefeated light welterweight Marvin “Much Too Much” Cordova (20-0-1, 11 KO’s) and looked good as he wound down training in preparation for showdown against Oscar De La Hoya at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 6.

"he started off slow but really got going in the last 4 rds"

Pacquiao cant afford to be having any slow rounds whatsoever against Oscar. He's gotta be going full throttle for all 12rds because Oscar will be looking to end the night early.

PAC is gonna get KNOCK OUT!

If this is not a fixed fight, Pacquiao will look competitive the first 2 or 3 rounds and then Oscar will take over. I say Oscar TKO 8

lol its funny when guys assume this fight being fixed ... if PAC beats Oscar, which most boxing fans dont think will/could happen, you guys should give credit where it is due...

we all know that Oscar has everything to loose in this fight and I am sure he wont be made the fool and loose this one intentionally, EVEN on a BUSINESS STAND POINT ...

sissy ass oscar has everything to lose and nothing to win in this fight. its a fraud by a famous coward. shane mosley is small and fights all the big guys. oscar is bigger and fights all the little guys. does this tell anyone with common sense anything?

DLH has already loss some respect from the boxing world for this match-up. IF he looses, I think personally, everything he has accomplished goes down the drain, even his Pay Per View hype. The only thing he will be known as is being a U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist. Yes, U.S. not Mexico gold medalist.

thanks Icheezy & trainhard 187 for confirming my point ...

It's kinda bad news if you ask me that in most of his reportings, he's looking, OK, or not that bad. Never do I really hear he's looking unbelieveable or outstanding. It's like everday of sparring, he's looking, well good enough to maybe hang in for 4 rds with Oscar. I honestly don't think they should have incorporated that technique **** where they bend your arms in weird angles and everything to loosen up. I think there is a limit to how loose you should be when warming up because if your too loose and you have almost the same feeling of a post massage, your body just isn't going to respond as well. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Yep, good observation. But we can't really ask for anything more, man. I mean, PAC started out at 106lbs, this matchup is unrealistic, obviously it's goin' down.

The only thing I can ask for is , I hope PAC atleast busts him up before he goes down for the count. And I hate quitters, but I don't have a problem if PAC goes down from a weak shot and calls it a day. No need to take a beating from a guy who is so much naturally bigger. It doesn't really prove anything if he "dies" trying.
