Exclusive: De La Hoya’s Conditioning Coach Speaks Out

[larryx]

in other word valero beat dat ass and got sent home...

[pistol whip]

there you have it you haters, dont belittle manny's achievements because it was manny's skills that beat up ODLH not oscar being so shot he cant punch ^_^

Who cares what reason he won a win is a win. Seriously you sound as dumb as the people who hate on pacman for no reason.

If you were a real fan of Manny you would want to see him take on even more dangerous oposition and wouldn't be satisfied with just this one win or just being one round better than Marquez.

I mean this is Oscar's conditioning coach so I would not really expect him to say Oscar was not in proper fighting shape because it would reflect poorly on him. This guy has been with Oscar for a long time though so he should know if something is not right (over or under training).

He is in the camp though and the sparring thing obviously bothered him, I have watched Valero fight and not once have I ever thought, man this guy is just like Pacquiao so I really don't get that part.

Another thing I don't get is that he was saying Oscar was comming into the gym at healthy 152 and leaving at 145, but why did Oscar come in on fight night at 147 and not 152.

Man, I'd just for once like to hear somebody in the DLH camp take some sort of responsibility for what went down tha night. Truth is, in today's landscape, Oscar just doesn't have the complete tool kit to compete with any of the champs at '47 or '54.This is a hard thing for me to say, cus I've always been a big fan, but The Golden Boy IS OLD, and should walk away with absolutely no shame. I mean come on, against Manny, Oscar showed no head movement, and no side to side...this equals old knees, and old legs. If he was a one punch ko-type guy, I'd say he might have a chance with a currently shaky Cotto, or even a Cory Spinks, but at this stage of the game, embarrasement and possible injury are almost sure to follow if he decides to continue.

THEIR ARE ALWAYS EXCUSES after Pac wins, he was old, hes a paper champ, hes been in too many wars. Pac fans should of expected these excuses coming since their have ALWAYS been one when Pacs victorious.

And after Pac beats Hatton expect more excuses. You cant satisfy them all. Pac had a dominate performance in the ring no question. What gets me is the blindness of some people not seeing the damage Pac brings to the ring. Fighters hitting the canvas, quitting on their stool, bloodied up, corner men waving the towel.

Pacquiao "I am just a fighter doing my job". His job is to give his opponent hell in that ring and the only way to beat him is to match his speed and intensity.

[roujinziro]

So moral of the story, Valero is the man, and Oscar is scared of looking bad in gym sparring.

[KostyaTszyu44]

no excuses, oscar got his ass whooped when we all thought pac wouldnt last 6 rounds

Quote;
Rob Garcia; "In camp you should spar so much that fighting should become a reflex, if you have to use your brain to think in there, then you’ve already lost because this sport happens at such a fast pace."

Once he said this crap, I realized that Oscars problem is he surrounds himself with ******ed people.

[southpaw_07]

ODLH is a great businessman but not boxer. He gotta be the richest boxer who lost all his important fights..beat that.

[bestboxingonly]

The guys has been with him for 8 yrs while Nacho is for what, 2 months? so he might be right. I'm afraid a rematch will happen. . Lets get it on.
