well that was against a very feather fisted guy.. wait till Manny lands a few of those straight lefts... I dont care who you are.. or at what weight... Im sure we are going to see De la hoya busted up more than ever... and I am sure Manny is going to take some brutal punishment ..I just think Manny is tougher especially at this point in each of thier careers.. and please someone post those pics of DLH after Forbes..
Eh? De La Hoya says he's feeling 'brand new' and 'refuelled' after a great training camp at big bear?
Actually, I agree. If Pac can avoid getting ktfo, he stands a good chance of winning a hard-won points decision.
manny should be on top of his game. i still think dlh might have some surprises left in there. it would be kinda funny watching the bigger guy running from the smaller one. haven't seen that in a while i really like manny overrall as a fighter and is a great guy for boxing as is dlh. this goes vs. logic, but I'll go ahead and go with manny. i'm mexican american, nothing vs. oscar, but I can relate to manny going up vs. the bigger guy. david vs. goliath. mighty mo vs. choi hong man. oscar has never been badly beaten or badly outboxed, when he lost the fights were always close, even before he got ko'd by B-hop. first time for everything, but i'm not sure if manny's the one to do it. oscar was a beast in his prime. those days are gone. manny's not as static as mayorga, but he does open up an awful lot. to oscar this is just another fight. to manny, he probably won't be able to sleep with all that adrenaline pumping for tommorrow
You cant compare Manny to Forbes. Forbes is an en excellent fighter and a former world champion. However his last couple of fights have been at 147, and 150 even though he more suited for 130-135. He may not be as powerful as manny, but he is slicker and more skilled so it shouldnt have been that suprising that he was able to catch oscar with some good shots, he never saw coming, Alos remember that Manny's power at 147 wont be as strong as it was at 130.
he may be slick but thats no excuse, if Berto could walk away unscathed and Oscar couldn't then thats a big tell of where he is at in this point of his career..... especially when you consider that huge size advantage that Oscar had (and Berto didn't)......
