    It's not as good as it used to be. But yeah, it will be interesting to see if Manny can take it. I think he'll be able to wear a few, but any really big ones and he's going down.

    Oscar is bigger, has a longer reach, and the left hook is a southpaw's nightmare.

    Pac should get knocked out.....if he doesn't, then Oscar should retire.

    DLH is going to shatter Pac's Glass Jaw.

    Oscar still has the power as it's the last thing to go in a fighter. Plus he has still looked pretty sharp, but obviously Forbes and PBF weren't the best fighters to display his power punching KO skills against. Last time I checked money may and 2 lbs have never been legitamitely dropped let alone koed. I agree that Oscar should retire if he fails to KO Manny. Pac has a solid chin, but he was stunned by a Larios left hook at 130 for God's sake!

    This fight is a ****ing farse, and despite Pac being a dangerous fighter, he is completely safe for Oscar. The difference in power Oscar will enjoy, combined with the lack of defense on Pac's side will make for an almost certain knockout for Oscar if he decides to fight instead of just showing up

    I have noticed that DLH has a habit of signing his opponents to GBP after the fight. I really suspect that DLH wants manny to be a part of GBP, he is an exciting and marketable fighter plus he could be their filipino connection.


    Considering that, it wouldnt suprise me in the least if this fight ends up being a glorified sparing session. Look at de la Hoya's last fight, the forbes fight. That was a ****ing joke, I dont think de la hoya really tried in that fight at all.

    Oscar's probably going to show the blue print for how you beat Pacquaio. Left hook ends it.

    Blue print he'll come in most liekly around 150 come fight night if anything he'll just be too much for the smaller Manny ..But for Manny I hope the age and weight gain are a negative for Oscar in this fight ..


    WAR MANNY


    Though Oscar may end it in a KO my heart is for the underdog !

    Oscar's had trouble in the past before with south paws ( who doesn't) he couldn't land the left hook against Whitaker and had trouble finding it with Camacho, also they were both smaller men. The main punch for a south paw it a straight right down the middle and Oscar has never really had a lot of confidence in his right hand.

    You realise that Whitaker was a defensive genius, right? One of the best in history? And Camacho fought on the back foot. You think Pac will be "boxing"?
