Remember De La Hoya vs Pacquiao?
Collapse
-
where everyone on this site said the fight was a joke, because Pacquiao was way too small? remember when yall said you wouldnt spend a dime on it, because De La Hoya was going to destroy Pacquiao early in a mismatch because of the huge size disadvantage? that the fight was a sham, and Pacquiao had 0 chance of winning?
boy, you guys sure were right. nice job!
for some reason, it seems like you guys are saying the same thing about an upcoming fight...
maybe you guys will be perfectly right once again?
The thing was though, it wasn't so much about DLH's size I was concerned about, but, the freakin' jab was at the top of my concerns. And I really thought that DLH was gonna strike from the outside, I mean duh, he was the taller and rangier fighter.
But, not only did he not even jab, he tried to come at PAC and got countered with those lefts all night until the lil guy ended up wearin' him out and PAC took over.
No matter the gameplan, De La Joto simply didn't have it, but, I think he could've looked game in some of those rounds had he made PAC look for him, instead of the other way around.
Now, to the 11/14 fight. I don't think we're gonna see the type of lopsided-ness that we saw on 12/6. It has the probability of having a clear winner, but competitive. One thing is for sure, it's definitely gonna be bloody mess.Comment

I admit that I was one of those that called the fight a mismatch in DLH's favor but I'm not saying that same now against Cotto because we've seen that he can fight effectively at 140 and at 142 when he fought DLH even though DLH was weight drained.Comment

Nothing to be ashamed of, most 'boxing experts' and even oddsmakers made the same mistake.
I chose Pacquiao by decision, because I knew he'd be too tough of a target for De la Hoya to hit, and I knew that the pace was going to be a little too much for Oscar to keep up with at his age.
Out of all of the genius posters on this site, there were not very many who took into account the fact that Oscar had to drop down to 147 for this fight, which is why the weight drained excuse is just that...an excuse.
Oscar's own trainer even said after the fight that the weight was not an issue. I'll take his word any day over some internet poster's opinion.Comment

much Props to the TS, BLackIrish...i vividly recall him as one of the very few who actually predicted a PAC win....Comment

Same here. And I'm saying Pacquiao beats Cotto's ass as well.
Manny is the king. Get used to it.
