Oscar wasn't Over-trained, he was Over-confident!

[xcaret]

I saw an article yesterday where Oscar had 150 or more rounds of sparring sesssion.

It's more like Pacquiao is that good.

sparring sessions? no ***ing way?

[Jose Rizal]

Oscar said he liked 6 when asked what round he was going to take Manny out. Then later on he changed his mind to 5. If that's not over confidence, then I don't know what is.

Come on... we all knew why he took this fight instead of the Margarito-Cotto winner like he promised. Almost nobody gave Manny a shot. Few envisioned how he could beat Oscar let alone dominate him like he did. There were even speculations that Oscar would carry Manny so it wouldn't look like the mismatch that it was on paper. Oscar came into that ring with the mindset of destroying a midget.

Maybe, but even an over the hill Oscar should have been able to do better than he did against Manny. He simply thought this fight would be easy for him. That's why he never seemed worried in the lead up to the fight. It was supposed to be a walk in the park and the **** back fired on him.

He had the mindset that he was competitive with Mr. Perfect Mayweather, so awkward Pacquiao would probably be an easier fight. But you have to take note that he got, according to 24/7, "the best camp ever assembled" you have two hall-of-fame trainors giving you two views on how to figure out Pacman. You have hall-of-famer Daniel Zaragoza working the mitts. And he's come back to train in high-altitute Big Bear. I don't think dela Hoya is taking Pacman lightly at all.

ur wrong!!! manny pacquiao said that what affected dela hoya's performance was the acupuncture. acupuncture relaxes the muscles and when your in a deep training for fight they say that it's really bad to use something that would relax ur muscles.

nah, dlh thought the hardest part of the fight was making weight

[brently1979]

Oscar was under the impression he would be able to hurt Pac, he didn't have any head movement, he didn't try and box Pac, he was just trying to hunt him down.

Yeah, over and over with straight left hands.

+ Karma
