    I just am puzzled why ODLH was not given an I.V. as soon as the weigh-in was over? I picked ODLH to lose anyway because I thought he was about finished and Pacquiao still gets credit because he fought well but damn, I did not expect for a fighter of his experience to mismanage weight or hydration like that!

    The I.V. part is true but WTF are you talking about regarding the weight? He could have entered the ring at any weight, just not come in over for the weigh-in! He was so light because he totally screwed up, or at least those who were supposed to be keeping tabs on it!

    Nacho also said...

    "I am a witness that he did not have problems with his weight and he was not dried out from the vapors [of a sauna]. During that time he had a nutritionist by his side who took charge of his weight and diet. But at the time of the fight he couldn't do things well. He couldn't deal with the versatility of Pacquiao"- Nacho



    "The Filipino is tremendous. I insisted that he walk to Pacquiao’s left side, but he insisted on walking to the other side, towards the right, and only managed to put himself in the line of fire. The fact is, because of Pacquiao’s mobility he couldn’t find him.” - Nacho

    Exactly~ why would they do this in the dressing room if he was not dehydrated

    I guess this is what Freddy Roach was saying about Manny Pacquiao then according to your logic, Roach said DLH was weight drained, so that must mean Roach doesnt want to credit his own fighter.:roll:

    I agree...Not taking anything from Pacmanc's win but you simply cant overlook what Roach said about Oscar....He even said on record that he couldnt even pull the trigger against Steve Forbes....I seriously dont understand why some fans cant understand facts when its in front of them.
