    I'm really annoyed with the amount of people bashing this fight...It's likely to be a competitive fight...OSCAR is ONLY 3-1 favorite.

    So stop bashing this fight it truely is up for grabs...ANYTHING can happen and that's y everyone will be watching Dec. 6th.

    Pacman is going to get KTFO unless if DLH decides to carry him. DLH is still very talented even at his age.

    It'll be competitive if Oscar D wants it to be. I'm sure he'll allow himself to get tagged a couple of time so as to make it look like it's slightly competitive and Pac has a chance. A complete blow out would **** everyone off.

    It really depends on how old Oscar is, remember what Forbes has done to him ???
    And back then there was a smart Mayweather in Oscar's corner.

    for the first few rounds I believe Pacquao will be playing Mayweather so it will depend on whether Oscar will let he do that or not.

    It will be a very competitive fight. Pac is going to knock Dlh out. I don't want to hear Pac is too small if he loses. He took the fight against an old Dlh who is not coming in at his best weight. Going up in weight in your prime is way better than going down in weight when you are past your prime.

    Pac will try to make it competitive until that left hook from DLH lands flush in Pacs face. Then it will be a reality check for the Pacman.

    I voted yes but my feeling is - It will LOOK competitive for maybe the 1st half of the fight but DLH will be slowly closing in on Pac & Pac will be exhausted by rd 7/8 as his punches have very little effect on Oscar which will make Manny throw everything he has into every punch way too soon in the fight, tiring himself out while DLHs punches are beginning to visibly trouble Pac.

    I think Pac does well to get to rd 10, I cant see him winning at all but as we know, anything can happen in boxing.

    No Oscar will carry this up to mid rounds before he finishes it.

    3-1 favorite is huge

    Mayweather was a 2-1 favorite at best against Hatton.

    Anyways, it'll be competitive.

    Oscar will carry Pac for about 4 or 5 rounds then turn up the heat and get him out of there so no it won't be competitive.

    When fight time comes around, they will be watching. 24/7 is going to make this fight huge. Pac is going to ko Dlh. Dlh is a fighter I've always liked, but his time is up!
