Oscar's trainer have probably seen this thread of mine... http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103957
Oscar de la Hoya at age 36 is about as fast as Barbara Bush getting ****ed by an exhausted George HW Bush. A bit faster than molasses, but not as fast as a sloth.
Pacquaio is going to win this fight, everyone seems to be picking DLH, Pacs speed is going to make him look stupid.
I'm backing Pac. His maturing into a 147 build. He has one of the best nutritionists/conditioners in the business. I think he will keep his speed and pack more power. I think Oscar will be weight drained. He hasn't made 147 since Gatti 7 years ago.
As we speak, he is sitting on a toilet at his training camp in Big Bear and shitting out water, as he has been for the last 3 hours.
Thing is, Nacho Beristain is the best trainer in the world, bar NONE. He's the best trainer since Eddie Futch. If he gets a say in this fight, Manny gets nailed, and hard.
