Insider Notebook: Oscar's Weight Shocks, Pacquiao-Hatton

[-Antonio-]

Well how many people changed their mind on the fight when the fight night weights were announced? I did. It had to have had an impact.

Garcia is useless. He craps on about Oscar's conditioning, dieting etc but since Oscar has been with him, his condition has been terrible.

Garcia sounds like one of those **** heads who works in those ****** over prices Gym/Health clubs and has no place in the fight game.

[brently1979]

Exactly!!!
Take the responsibility for your actions.
Remember Pac didnt go out looking for Oscar, Oscar was looking for a big farewell fight which was suppose to be Mayweather. Oscar even hired Dundee and Nacho to help him out which did not even matter.

Regardless of the weight loss the experts were saying:
Oscar is the better fighter
Oscar has fought better opposition
Oscar is the bigger guy (even with the weight loss his height was still their)
Oscar has the best left hook in the game
Oscar Jab this.....!!!!!

OSCAR's plan of picking on smaller fighters backfired.
His plan was to use his PPV name and cash in on as many fights before he hangs em up which next was suppose to be Ricky Hatton.

After this fight Larry Merchant quotes
"Oscar you said you did this to your self, what do you mean by that".

Oscar replys without answering the question "Manny is a great fighter".

I agree with you 100%.


He went after this fight big time. If DLH didn't want to take this fight he WOULDN'T HAVE.

Rocah, just said Oscar can't pull the trigger. Oscar could have taken that with a grain of salt, but used that as an excuse to call out Pac.

Proof that Hoya was not himself on december 6... Pacquiao gets too much credit for beating fighters who dehydrate themselves to make the weight

now i think oscars next move should be hire mackie shilstone immediately to try and rebuild his body back up to 154 the correct way. even if hes not doing alot of heavy training while hes doing it, atleast his diet would allow him to regain some strength that may have been lost by rob garcias diets oscar was on

oscar got his *ss handed to him Dec.6 PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Excuses are like *ss holes, and everyone has one. dlh has one for ALL HIS LOSSES.. hoya picks the smallest, safest fighters and STILL GETS HIS *SS WHIPPED...FUTURE ALL TIME GREATEST HALL OF FAME FRAUD....

It's the fighters job to make weight. It isn't also the fighter's fault that his opponent is eating a lot of food. It's a fighter's responsibility. If a Mexican gets an ass whooping then Sorry my friend, better luck next time.

Even a blind man could see Oscar had nothing from the 1st bell. He had no energy whatsoever. Fighters don't get tired after the 1st rd, something was wrong. I've been there myself and i was so drained i just couldn't throw a punch and ended up taking a beating and every1 was angry at me cos i wouldn't let my hands go but i simply couldn't. That's what happens when your weight drained and don't put on any weight and i seen that in Oscar. Up until the night of the fight i thought Oscar would win, when he came in at 145 i thought it was unnecessary and maybe he was trying to get a mental edge over Manny but on the night of the fight when i heard he weighed in at 147 and i seen him look so skinny i said to everyone in the room and Oscar is going to lose. Other than retirement Oscar's only option is for a rematch to show every1 that wasn't the real DLH, hire Floyd sr, weigh in at 147, come in the ring at 160 and give Manny something to worry about instead of a session on a punch bag.

Pac didnt hold a gun to any of his opponents heads and tell them they have to fight at the weight class he desires. Fighters agree to a weight class and should stick too it. Thats how the game has always been and your blaming Pac for dehydrating his opponents, you must be kidding. Every fighter who steps in that ring goes through training, weight losses, conditioning, etc. on their own terms and you blame Pac for beating a fighter who did not condition themselves well enough. Your too much dude.

I swear IF Delahoya did happen to land that SO CALLED LEFT HOOK of his with the condition he was in and KO Pac, your new favorite fighter would of been Delahoya. Also if this were to happen the weight issue would of NEVER of been mentioned as it is now. Oscar's plan backfired and the fight fans should be happy that we dont have to see Delahoya make ridiculous fights that have no purpose.

Quit making a fool of yourself here. You would rather take Schaefer's word than that of Dundee, Beristain and Oscar himself?
