Proof that Dela Hoya threw the Pacquiao fight

[cuzfozzy]

I doubt oscar threw the fight .. he really wanted to win this one
the fact he came in over trained showed how much he wanted to win it

[Silencers]

I think his legs gave out on him and he gripped the ropes for support.

More like he had already given up and wanted the ref to step in.

[Dynamite Kid]

The reason is that Oscar was hurt badly by a right hook to the body about 1 second before the clip in question begins.

Besides, since when do people throw fights by taking round after round of sustained beatdown?

I dont get it. The reason he decided to put himself back in arms way is because he had been "hurt badly by a right hook to the body"

All the more reasons to get of the ropes and not slide back in their for more punishment.

anyway this fight is past and buried ...
pac won and oscar retired ...
lets move on

Do you agree though that he had a perfect opportunity to slide away from the ropes right there, but went back into the fire instead ?

[cuzfozzy]

he was probably trying to let pac punch himself out
but pac is one of the best conditioned fighters out there

All the more reason why that sounds like an unlikely scenario. I mean Oscar knows what Pacquiao's attributes are, he has more than likely been ring side for the majority of his fights.

I think he would have went down if he tried to slide away from the ropes.

my bottom line on the fight......Oscar was shot, weight drained, and was done period......Pac did a brilliant job of doing what he had to do to win the fight....BUT!!!! it was NOT!!!!!! an impressive win.

and no oscar did not throw the fight.
