    It was DLH having to go down and drain and Pac being able to carry his speed and power.
    Those choices left no mutual ground. Too extreme to be picked.

    Why isn't there an option for "A little from column A and a LOT from column B"?????

    Manny is quite good, but he isn't as good as Oscar is shot, so if forced to pick between the two I'm going with the latter.

    I should have put that third option down but didn't think about it. It's been mentioned enough and is probably the true answer.:good

    It was a bit of both IMO.

    Manny fought brilliantly but DLH has never looked worse in his entire career, I dont know if it was the 147 thing or getting old over night.... to be honest, he was SO bad that it looked like both combined.

    I agree, Manny did what he was supposed to.. he trained hard and stuck to his game plan. However, DLH conditioning was suspect. He had ample time to train and scale down to 147 lbs. So, there's no excuse for this so called weight drain issue. The fact that Manny was even slightly heavier than him at fight night is unusual as he was expected to rehydrate at about 150 above. Did DLH underestimated Manny?

    Both. I never expected Oscar to be so immobile. He was achingly slow. And he has completely lost the ability to throw punches in any combo other than trying to flurry, and his reflexes are pretty much worn out also. And his legs were gone as well. In the Forbes fight he was bouncing on his toes, he had legs. This fight he was completely flat footed. He got old overnight, and I think a lot of it had to do with making weight. When he weighed in at 148, and here I was expecting him at like 157, close to 160, I had an "Oh ****" moment.

    I take nothing away from Manny though. He put on a legendary performance against Oscar.

    Both. DLH was plodding forward like Frankenstein's monster.
