    I feel sad for DLH

    First of all, let me say....

    1. I wanted Manny to win.
    2. Oscar pissed me off going even making this fight.
    3. Oscar's obsession with making money gets on nerves.
    4. The idea of a DLH vs Hatton fight was one I really could not stomach.
    5. Pac's performance was the only kind which could actually have made me become involved in the fight.

    But...but...

    I'm sad. It was kinda like watching RJJ against Calzaghe. Or Ali against Holmes. SRL against Norris, etc..

    And maybe there's a poetic justice considering Oscar beat old Chavez.

    But still, seeing DLH get beat the **** up by someone he really shouldn't have...it became painful by the end.

    He's a good guy, essentially, despite his money grubbing ways. He's kept our sport in the spotlight, he's a good ambassador for the sport, and at his best, he was a HOFer.

    So I'm sad. I know everyone think he deserves it but something about watching fighters get old during fights and lose that..something...

    It's hard to watch.

        I hate seeing shot or old fighters get beat up and that's what happened with DLH and Pacquiao, it's happened before to other fighters, it'll happen again to other fighters.

          I don't. He said he would fight the winner of Cotto/Marg, when Marg won he backed out. He thought Pac would be an easy opponent and got beat.

          Don't be sad, DLH got 20mil, he'll be fine.

            Oscar isn't finished Keyser. He can still beat slower opponents in his own weight class.

              Ironically enough, I think for once, Oscar won't give a **** how much money he made.

                It was an ignominious end, but unlike his forebears he does not leave the game bankrupt. Progress.

                  Is it me or was Oscar very gunshy in the fight. Or was Pac-man so fast that Oscar was afraid to let his hands go and get countered?

                    He was shot to peices. And then after two rounds he was done mentally. The speed was definitely a factor as well. But I mean even so throwing punches to keep Pac honest would have helped.
