BoxingScene Staff Predictions: De La Hoya vs. Pacquiao

[S A M U R A I]

c'mon guys, if you're really know boxing or study boxing you'll know who will going to win, I am a big fan of this two fighter, I admire pacman coz he has the will and determination, a fighter who does'nt give up, but I don't see him winning this fight, not disrespecting my fellow filipino but he has no boxing skills,no strong defense,a complete one dimensional fighter, if he can't hurt oscar his in big trouble.... OSCAR winning by KO..

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.

I'll probably sound ****** but if this was a real fight then Oscar would win, but since it's just an act Manny will win by TKO.

By first glance on size and weight, DLH would win and though this is a common perception or in reality, this is not the way it is in boxing. Fact is, DLH prime where he was perceived strong left little this time. True, he is nurtured with strong punches and pacman power is in question if he would really do damage on him, but the way i look at it, pacman punching power is a little bit extraordinarily strong compared to others and i believe would still effectively sting ODLH in the process. Pacman awkward movement would also zeroed the effectiveness of DLH jabs by capitalizing his reach and height. Don't tell about Marquez case, because marquez is also a unique fighter movement designed to upsets opponents by his jabs defense-offense moves but this is fitted only to marquez, can not be wear by anybody else, can be mimick but can not be owned its effectiveness. The only thing I saw that is in question from pacman is, his ability to absorbs big punches. But through his big guys sparring partners at least his body have an idea absorbing big punches and knows how to avoid or react just in case. But any ways we would all see with clarity how doubts and optimisms doused with reality few hous from now. But as this stage, i am clinching with pacman by either stoppage or decision!

main question on this fight is how well PAC can take Oscar's punches, if he takes it well it will be long good/great fight... if not it will end early in devastating fashion...

WAR PAC WAR!!

Pacquiao will win. Pacquiao will hurt Oscar. The fight will be stopped.

Its going to be a cracker, initially I thought DLH is going after easy money, however after seeing the Pacman absolutely torture Diaz in his last fight on Youtube, He has great movement and stood toe-to-toe with a bigger man, another 7 lbs will be interesting, especially seeing that DLH is alot bigger and stronger than Diaz, also DLH has to box in the middle of the ring otherwise The Pacman WILL beat him. his speed will play a big part, DLH has a big punch and his left hook will be valuable as will his jab. Fingers crossed for the Pacman though, he deserves the win, otherwise the Philipines will have a civil war on their hands!

between 8-10rds KO for Pacman
