The fighters start out cautious at first and rounds 1 and 2 are feel out rounds with both guys not landing too much.
In round 3 Pacquiao starts picking up the pace but Oscar keeps him off of him with his long jab and the occasional right hand but all in all Oscar is taking it easy on the smaller fighter.
In round 5 Oscar starts putting more pressure on the smaller man and knocks down Pacquiao in the 6th but the round ends before Oscar can finish him off.
Rounds 7-9 are furious , action-packed rounds with Freddie ordering Manny to go for broke. Both men are bruised up bad but Oscar's right eye is swelling up and Oscar seems to be exhausted.
Round 10 Oscar seems to have nothing left. He had overtrained and came in severely weight drained for this fight. It seems his legs are gone and Manny scores a flash knockdown on the Golden Boy. Oscar is not hurt and he seems fine but he is slow in getting up. Round ends with Manny landing a few more combinations. Oscar seems to be done. Roach makes note of this and tells Manny. Freddie tells him Oscar's legs are gone and to finish it.
In round 11 Freddie's observation of Oscar seems to be correct. Manny batters Oscar with quick combinations and Oscar can barely put up a defense. He seems more fatigued than hurt but Manny is landing on him at will. He lays on the ropes not punching while Manny unloads on him and the referee steps in and stops the fight. TKO11 for Pacquiao.
Oscar then collapses in the ring and medical personnel and his corner rushes to his aid.
Pacquiao looks over Oscar laying on the floor , turns to the camera , spits out his mouthpiece and says......
"IF HE DIES...... HE DIES......"
