Did Pac let Hoya off da hook?

[Obusv477]

god you're ******.

big difference between hatton and oscar , man.

learn something about boxing before you start talking.

There wasnt much of a difference between Oscar at the 7th annd 8th round...hell even after the 2nd as compared to Hatton. i.e; they were both pretty much defenseless. Nothing ****** about that observation....pure logic. The truth was Oscar was not hitting back and if Pac wanted to unload and take him out he probably could have. Oscar's chin is proven, yes...but it dont matter does it if your defenseless?? The insinuation here is that he let Oscar off da hook. So what exactly is so ****** that?

yeah and it wouldv knocked Vitali Klitchko out too right, dumbass

STFU Obviously that would not effect him the same way because his head would not have twisted like that do to him being a hundred pounds heavier but if he took that shot from someone around his weight I think the same would have happened. That is just my opinion.

different fighters. different situation.

watch the fight and listen to what roach tells manny.

have a pinoy translate what buboy tells manny too.

they didn't want manny to get too offensive. they wanted him to just box.

in between rounds they tell him don't get careless and don't get too aggressive.

after the beating he gave delahoya in the 7th and before the 8th , roach tells manny to stay away from oscar because he thinks oscar might go all out for one last round.

manny always follows his instructions.

roach didn't tell him to go for the ko 'til before the 9th. obviously the 9th never began.



most of the hatton fight was pacquiao on the defensive anyway.

when he was aggressive he was missing a lot and hatton was clinching.

the 1st kd punch was a counter hook and the ko punch was when he stopped going for the ko and was boxing.

ricky was coming to him and forcing the issue. that's why he kept getting caught.

oscar was in survival mode. you don't ko guys in survival mode. he wasn't punching back much. that means less openings.

I dont think so, he was wary besides Oscar got hit by lots of flush shots to, him and Diaz have great chins it seems when comparing to Hatton ^_^ well Odhoya chin is undoubted only ever ko by body shot. But as some guy said Dela hoya wasn't running into punches like Fatton lol..

He was probably expecting Oscar to let his hands go at some point but never did

Yeh sure different fighters and different situations...regardless, the question at hand was is if whether Pac "spared" Dela Hoya. We both saw the fightand given Oscar was not punching back and just cowering at a corner, the impression I got was that he didn't unload the way I'm accustomed to seeing Pac finish guys off. As per the topic of the thread So therefore, I believe he did let Oscar off da hook for whatever reason it was. It has nothing to do with how great Oscar's chin was, or the gameplan,.....fact of the matter was, as easy pickings it was for Pac to ko Hatton, it was just as easy for Pac to do it with Oscar at the 6,7,8th rounds. But for whatever reason I BELIEVED HE CHOSE NOT TO...simple as that.
