BoxingScene Staff Predictions: De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao

[STEELHEAD]

in his last fight manny at his heaviest took 9 rounds to tko the not that
skilled david diaz. and as usual he got hit alot.

my prediction is oscar gets booed for carrying pacquiao then fakes a shoulder injury and fights him one armed to win by a decision.

LOL at the idiot who said pacquiao by ko! I'm not saying pacquiao can't win but a ko? Get ****ing real. You're seriously a dumb**** if you believe that. Oscar has a world class chin which was tested by vargas, sturm, trinidad, mayweather, mayorga(he sucks but hits hard), mosley etc. All of the fore mentioned hit harder than pacquiao and maywether and mosley are faster than him as well.

lol that would be like a movie ending... he injures the left shoulder and has to fight pac off w/ his weaker right hand only and turns southpaw... then it'd be a fair fight

I have yet to see an argument for how pacman gets past the jab.

Manny starts well but tires badly in the second half of the match from carrying the fight to the bigger man. Pac's corner throws in the towel between round 10 and 11. Nobody will be happier if he is wrong about his pick than me.

i havent either, the response will be something like speed kills,, so what would be your response

[Tha_Greatest]

Hey, I've been watching boxing for almost 32 years, and there are countless occasions when I've been surprised because what was supposed to happen didn't. I chose to swim against the tide on this one. Sure, common sense says Oscar wins, and wins by KO, but I have no love for Oscar at all. Manny, on the other hand, is someone I have a great amount of respect for. My heart says Manny takes this. My head says Oscar takes it. However, in my eyes Manny is already a winner for even agreeing to this fight. Gotta admire the little guy, he has the nuts to do what so many others wouldn't even dream of doing. Where there is a will, there is a way.

dont forget the biggest greedy payday for both oscar and manny to put on this circus act where he has no shot at winning, i too respect manny but manny is selling a embarassing knock out loss for 7 to 8 mill, , handle your business , manny

i agree, i really dont see Manny being able to stop Oscar

i think people who are predicting that are doing so more in hope or else they are mmaybe buying the hype

Ronnie didnt even make a prediction

[boxingfan4life]

I say DLH cause pacman leaves hisself wide open alot. unless freddie roach showed him some new defense tactics i say hes gonna get hit with that left hook

[boxingfan4life]

unless pacman can avoid that left hook for eight rounds (before oscar gets tired ) i give this one to de la hoya.
