    Could anyone ever have imagined the Dream Match on Saturday, 23 June 2001?

    Saturday, 23 June 2001

    Oscar De La Hoya was making his debut at 154lbs against Javier Castillejo for the WBC Jr Middle strap. On the undercard: Manny Pacquiao vs Lehlohonolo Ledwaba for the 122lbs IBF title. The venue: The MGM Grand. Oscar won a 12 round decision dropping Castillejo in the final seconds. Manny destroyed Ledwaba inside six rounds.

    Seven years later, at that same venue, Manny Pacquiao dismantles Oscar De La Hoya in eight rounds. Could anyone ever have imagined this?

      Thanks man. You know, I paid 500 more than face value for this damn ticket. Damn ticket brokers. And after it was supposedly sold out, the tickets go back on sale at face value. I was pissed. I should have just got one from a scalper. You got any pics, I probably seen you there and don't even know it.

              You got hella points again, did you bet on this fight?

              I seen so many fighters there, got pics with Freddy, Ricky, Haye, Juanma, Steven Luevano, Izzy Vasquez, Daniel Zaragoza, Oscar Larios.

              Got a glove signed by Angelo Dundee and Freddie Roach.

              The MGM was packed all weekend.

                I could have won 800k points for Pacquiao but my friend backed out from the bet.

                  Hell no. It wasn't even imaginable when it was first signed. Just shows how unreal Pac is.

                    It also shows how greedy Oscar is. Fool tried cashing in on a big payday by picking on a much, much smaller man and he end up getting his ass kicked instead. Looks to me like he got exactly what he deserved.
