The weight loss is going to play a factor in Oscar ... he's already been labeled as a front runner and if the fight goes past the 6th see Oscar getting hit alot and possibly stopped. Oscar hasn't weighed in at 147 since he fought Arturo Gatti and he's older now ... i'm sure he's going to be dehydrated ... and if he does rehydrate ... he's going to be very sluggish.
He lost gas against Hopkins, Mayweather, and Sturm ... he hasn't been the same since 2000 ... he gets tired and walks forward with his hands up without throwing punches back.
Oscar won't get stopped because he didn't deshydrate himself. He made weight by cheating. Another low for this tranny.
I do think DLH's body will be a little weaken, but I don't think Pac will KO him.. I'm going for Pac by decision..
I mean stoppage ... accumulation of punishment ... Oscar's going to swell and cut ... and he's going to run out of gas and get himself a thorough beat down back to back rounds until the stoppage.
He will not gas out this time because he's gonna knock Manny before. Keep him at the end of his jab and pow. Oscar has great boxing skills, reach, height and weight advantage. I don't like ODLH, and I would like Manny to win, but it's not gonna happen. Oscar has been knocked once, at this higher weight by Hopkins (and lots of people think it was fake), and Pacquiao even if he has great speed and power, does not knock-out cold his opponents (they are more frustrated/surprised by the speed and the fact that they did not see the punch coming) but they are conscient while on the canvas. So a knockout by Manny is not really possible. Marquez gave trouble to Pac-Man, and so will OLDH who his much bigger. Manny has already been koed in the past.
It's true every fighter who fought Pac got cut and bruised. So will Hoya. But Pac will run into a left hook sooner or later before Hoya gets stopped himself on cuts.
Also Manny's defence is not that great and just look at Oscar's face, no trace after 20 years of fighting, and he faced big punchers.
I would be very surprised if DLH gets stopped. Other than the Hopkins bodyshot, he has never looked like being stopped - Mosley hits way harder than Pac, and didn't look like stopping Oscar.
I'll be shocked if Oscar gets KO'd. In fact I'll be shocked if Manny doesn't get KO'd...................
