People say Oscar was drained against Manny... I see a master class

True so did steve forbes weight drain ODH too???

Forbes didnt do nothing but show upto fight, oscar was the one who made him move upto 150... its the same thing with pac, and it bit him hard in the ass.... the mofo was eating ostrich eggs ffs....but lets not make believe that he wasnt a drained fighter that night.

Nobody is saying Pacquiao weight drained Oscar. That still doesn't mean Oscar wasn't weight drained. Manny had no real star power at that time to dictate anything, Oscar chose to fight at welterweight. And was weight drained in the process

True .... Oscar had already begun to make his move in his previous fight when he came in within the 150 weigh in. So for him, what's another 3lbs compared to what Manny needed to do.

also, Oscar knew that he was facing a fast opponent in Manny and wanted some of that too so his logic/plan was to come in light. He was coming in weight ahead of schedule.

He even tried to spar against southpaws and those with good speed.

It backfired because that would always be Manny's advantage. Oscar should have tried to keep his advantages such as size. Bad miscalculation on his team's part. It happens.

Oscar was not in his prime, he would of done great against a slower opponent. Manny was just too fast. He should have never stopped the fight tho. That probably messed with his head.

They Rehydrated Oscar through IV's before the fight thinking that it was the best course to take. Oscar to Me and a lot of fighters looked good at the weigh in he looked strong during his training camp. But come fight night going against that speed and power made him look old and dead. Hell Brandon Rios looked exactly the same in his fight with Manny.

Oscar was the A side. Oscar wanted Manny.

Oscar's bad.

As bad as Oscar looked (he was drained), there is just not many left hand heavy fighters who could have beaten that version of Pac. The left hook against Pac is basically an afterthought. You take that away from Oscar and he is pretty average.
