looking back at de la hoya vs pacquiao

[nickphilli]

margarito vs de la hoya at 154 would have been a hell of a fight

[Eaner0919]

agreed on pacquiao boxing a masterpiece, but im not sure of whats true or not, ive heard freddy roach said that de la hoya had ivs in his dressing room before the fight because his corner was trying to rehydrate him, he weighed in at 145 and came into the fight at 145 as well

I asked him that question and yes he said he could see needle marks from IV Oscar took

I also asked David Avila about how Oscar was going about losing the weight (using a lot of running and trying to keep his weight at 147 all through the camp)

he said long distance runners (I think he used to run) do this a lot but the after affects are that its actually hard to keep weight on once your body because so accustomed to maintaining that weight. He said he could see it being true but also said it can sap your strength and not idea for boxing in his opinion

mind you this was before Oscar actually weighed in because we were discussing why Oscar was so proud that he was at or around 147

oscar was a dead man walking..im sure he put a big bet on manny since manny was such a huge underdog and made a killing off of that fight...that was his retirment fight

LOL I've heard hundreds of excuses for Pac's victims but I gotta admit that right there is a new one.

That wouldn't surprise me since he quit on purpose against Hopkins. Mofo took Mosley's bombs and quit from a jab, a ****ing half ass JAB to the body.

DLH was already past prime, but also weight-drained.

Oscar got what he deserved, he should of faced Margarito instead of a guy who only had one fight at lw.

[BOXING 24/7]

what was wrong with de la hoya? well aside from pacquiao fighting a great fight, oscar did not look like himself at all, he looked extremely pale and weak in the ring. anyone have any inside scoop on what was going on with him? did he overtrain, weight drained, or just a shot fighter?

ODLH said he was in the best shape of his life.

****** logic on*

You're just trying to discredit Pac's win

****** logic off*

Seriously you are a hater.

Best shape of his life = weight drained and getting beat up in sparring by 130lbs Valero.
