De La Hoya: "Pacquiao Doesn't Hit Hard"

He meant he did not see his "legs do a jelly dance", not that he did not see the fight.....

 

It's either you're his spokesman or Divac has poor English... He said he did see the video. Period.

 

Or you have poor comprehension skills.....

 

Not a once in those couple of rounds did DLH's legs buckle, and Pac was reigning shots on him.......

....and look at the end of the 8th round even after Pac has done a number on DLH.....DLH swiftly walks to his corner on very steady legs.....


.....this is the first time I heard the british version of the fight, and I agreed with what Ricky Hatton said right after the fight about the stoppage.....
"DLH was'nt going to win this fight, they should have stopped it two rounds ago!"

 

Exactly!
Soriano had said he had posted a clip of it, and I anwered I did'nt see it!

With Pacquiao hitting DLH at will, not once did DLH's legs do a number!
.....thats not good news heading into the Hatton fight!

 

A ******* trademark!

 

if pac doesn't hit hard, then are you telling me that those guys got a glass jaw?

 

oscars head must still be numb...

 

Maybe what you meant was a former 106 lber.

Oscar faced bigger opponents so compared to them, Pac really doesn't hit that hard. Unfortunately for Oscar, they are fighting at a lower weight hence his less resistance on weaker punches.

 

When have you ever seen Pacquiao throw double lefts like jabs? Obviously early in the fight Pacquiao wasn't sitting on his punches... If the fight would've continued, then I think Oscar was going to get KOed... Pac was on his toes and turning oscar and firing... The speed that gave Oscar so much trouble didn't allow for Manny to load up and sit on his punches... You woulda seen it if Oscar had not quit in the later rounds.... Quitting is embarrasing and I don't blame Oscar trying to find excuses. If Manny didn't hit that hard he still had a punchers chance till the 12th.. Doctors, cornermen, wifey, brother, all thought it could get dangerous for Oscar...

 

Watch Mosley fight againts Cotto... Mosley wasn't showcasing near close the same fire power he had againts cotto than he did against Margarito. With Pac going up in weight he cannot afford the luxury he once had of loading up, sitting on his punches... He needed to take advantage of his speed, his footwork... Mosley couldn't sit on his punches against cotto like he was able to do againts margarito for whatever reason.. Pacquiao breaks em down till roach tells him to knock them out, that they are finished, done....

 

sure :verysad

 

And also for all you haters Ricky mentioned Pac as being "Phenomenal" a "Modern Great" for his performance against DLH..

 

I completely understand what you're saying, but was'nt the case vs DLH.....Pac hit DLH with the same shots he hit JMM, MAB, and Morales.....the only difference was that against DLH, he did so repeatedly as what he had in front of him was a stationary target.

I think it was early in the 2nd round where Emmanuel Steward of HBO said, "this is going to get worse for Oscar, he's got no defense!"

The left hand by Pacquiao was landing as crisp and as hard as he's ever thrown and landed it, the only difference was that it was landing on a bigger mass than he's accustomed to hitting, thus why it did'nt have the same concussive effect on DLH than it did when it landed on JMM, Morales, and MAB, all btw fighters who's prime fighting weights are 126 lbs and below.

 

I agree!
DLH shot or not, that was a Pacquiao performance worthy of praise!:good

For Hatton's sake, he better have believed his own words....because he's going to need that drive inside of him that knows he's up against a truly great fighter and performer.
