My money's on Pac-man, he's moving up alot in weight but i think his youth & style will be too aggressive for oscar to deal with at this point in his career (the twighlight)
plus, freddie roach (having worked with DLH for the mayweather fight) will have some good insight into oscars bad habits and can key in on those when he's training pacman :)
boxing fans, who you got on this one???
I am going with DLH because the size difference is going to be huge. Like you said PAC-MAN is younger quicker and does have Freddie Roach but you can't teach size. With my luck you'll be right and he'll get knocked out in the first round .

DLH is still one of the world's best, and with a 15 pound weight difference?
Look for Pacquaino to get destroyed.
Congrats to Pac Man on that win, he was lightning fast and De La Hoya couldn't keep up. Manny dominated! I have a feeling that is the last we'll see of De La Hoya. Wasn't really much of a fight imo, hard to watch really.

I think it is the last time in the ring, but not the last time you see him.
yeah that is what I meant by that. I loved how he said his heart was still in boxing but his body just can't keep up. He'll still be around for sure.
Well I was wrong with my prediction
damn Felix pretty much had this one right on the money!
Thats because Felix is the man :D
no doubt and psychic perhaps?

Guess I should have listened to Freddie Roach AND Felix on this one. At 35, the 10-time world champ was flat-out beaten. A deserved win for Pacman.

yea pretty much, lol :D
it was sad to watch oscar being beaten so badly...he was never one of my favorite boxers, but the ref should have stopped that fight in round 7
because of oscar's influence & legend in the sport, the ref was giving him time to recover & get back into the fight. had that been anyone else it would have been stopped in rd 6-7....nobody wanted to see oscar lose, so the ref gave him more leeway than usual - perhaps hoping he could recover & pull off a miracle win - ala JC Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor
the main thing that was sad was how oscar was humiliated into quitting on his stool. oscar's been around the game his whole life, and he knows someone has to win, and someone has to lose - and that night it was clear he wasnt going to win. by round 4 it was obvious. he knew, and as a warrior he stood in there. he was waiting for the ref to do the right thing & stop it, but it never came...at 35, facing a younger, superior fighter, and facing the possibility of serious physical damage, he was forced to quit between rounds
boxing is a more brutal sport than mma. death, brain damage, and dehabilitative brain disorders aren't out of the norm in boxing & the ref wasnt doing his job
