Title: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 21:41:28 Anyone staying up for this?
I aim to but i really cannot see it happening. ODLH to win on points. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 21:42:45 De La Hoya to win 6th round KO, will be to strong for Pacquiao
looking forward to Khan aswell Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 21:43:08 how did Jamie Cox get on earlier?
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Sussex on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 21:47:50 I had to choose between paying for the boxing or a takeaway curry.
The curry was very nice.. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: DMR on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:00:18 I fancy Pacquiao, can't really see the point Oscar fighting now, he's got nothing to prove, it's almost like Hatton 'cos they both got beaten by the best have beaten everyone else.
That said MP's very under-rated in a lot of circles, fancy him on points. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Nemo on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:12:37 De La Hoya didn't only get beaten by Mayweather though, he's lost five times now I think, including twice to Shane Moseley.
He needs a box office win to seal his career. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:19:24 That said MP's very under-rated in a lot of circles, fancy him on points. eh? Other than Mayweather he is rated as the best lb4lb in the world. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:21:33 but as mayweather has 'retired' Pacquiao is the best lb4lb
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:32:33 Cox won ko 1st round. Should have a title fight next year
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: JPC82 on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:34:47 Cox won ko 1st round. Should have a title fight next year cheers bud Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:37:42 Linky

Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 22:52:04 nice to see Khan a bit more sensible, pick his shots a bit more rather than a few wild swinging combinations destroyed his opponent. Bit of a mismatch!! Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: DMR on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 23:22:46 eh? Other than Mayweather he is rated as the best lb4lb in the world. Yeah and you're all fancying some bloke whose hardly fought for 3 years and is only there for the £££ Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 23:51:22 I see that point but i dont understand how Pacquiao is underrated?
Anyway, i just think that there is no better in the sport at preparing for fights, at making sure that he couldnt be in any better shape/mindset to get into the ring. whether or not that has been affected by all his promotional stuff remains to be seen but i just think he will be too much for Pacquiao. Rarely do cross-division title fights go the way of the lighter. On another note, anyone watching Froch? one of the most enthralling fights in memory, pure quality. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Nemo on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 23:54:12 Harrison lost again :D To a cabbie from Belfast.
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: DMR on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:00:31 Great win for Froch indeed Dex.
I'd love to see Cavlzaghe vs Froch but it won't happen. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:05:10 who do you recon would win if they did?
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:06:57 anyone got another link btw?
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: DMR on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:18:18 I don't think you could look past Calzaghe, yes he's gone down early in his last 2 fights but he's got good punch resistance. Mind you Froch's just shown the same, and niether are the biggest of big punchers... I'd certainly say it would go the distance so you'd have to back JC. What do you reckon?
Try myp2p.eu, btw. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: michael on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:22:56 Calzaghe is never fighting at SMW again, never mind against someone as one dimensional as Froch. Good fight earlier though.
As good as he is, I would be amazed if Pacman can overcome the size differential. He'll be soft, and DLH was ripped just to make the scales (the accuracy of which is under question as it is)! I reckon Oscar will be 10lbs heavier in the ring, which puts him another weight category up again. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 00:48:35 think one dimensional is a little harsh but i see where you're coming from.
Saying that, Calzaghe would knock Froch out i am sure of it. no luck with Dave's link, anyone else? Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: michael on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 01:06:42 What time is the fight on?
I am pretty gassed already. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Lash_sumthin on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 01:16:54 i believe this works on IE

It's a house-and-car job really isn't it. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: strooood on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 02:20:20 fuck this im going to bed.
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Spud on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 02:47:27 Pacquiao to win on points.
Although i wont be watching it, bastard box office. Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: JPC82 on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 05:25:05 sad to see de la hoya so pathetic really, didnt even land a decent punch, manny on the other hand lookeda clsss act
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: Sussex on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 07:28:59 So Cox and Khan both won? and acording to SSN, De La Hoya lost quite badly?
Title: Re: Oscar de la Hoya v Manny Pacquiao Post by: DMR on Sunday, December 7, 2008, 11:29:56 It was a bit of a rout. ODLH couldn't be arsed and thus quite deservedly got beaten up.
