    Not Pac's fault Oscar didn't handle his camp well. He prepared for what he thought would be the toughest fight of his career and got the job done. This is no different to guys getting into peoples head so the opponent is broken down before the fight, ala Tyson. Roach also said Pac had a great night. I guarantee, had he been a willing target for Oscar he would have been Ko'd. Had that been mayorga in there, he would have been KO'd.

    I knew ODLH had definitely drained himself to make weight but once I heard on 24/7 he had to be rehydrated by IV before stepping into the ring. . . SMH, he stood no chance! Not taking anything from PACMAN though; Great victory.

    Oscar still gets KTFO regardless of the weight except at 154 he just might win more than 0 rounds.

    Just to clear this up....Oscar had an agreement if he weighed in heavy at the weigh in, he would pay $3million per pound he was overweight or something along those lines......But, surely this agreement had no bearing on his weight entering the ring as a previous post stated???

    Maybe this is bull****, but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that oscar was like 149 or so and Pac was 152. Maybe not exactly but around that anyway.

    No, he had to weigh in 147 and below. Which every fighter has to do, just that he will be penalised for going over that on weigh in, which every fighter should do too. Oscar could have made any weight fight night, not Pac's fault his camp ****ed that one up.

    When did Manny KTFO Oscar the first time? He quit on his stool.

    What it all boils down to is quite simple.

    Oscar was weight drained and therefore posed little to no threat to Manny Pacquiao. However, Manny did what he had to do and should receive credit for his accomplishment, but let's not make out he beat a legitimate Welterweight on the night, because he didn't.
