For what? this fight wasn't even close. He was dominated from round 1 to round 8. It's time for oscar to retired.
When a fighter peaks before the fight you see the oscar we saw. no energy, no pop, can see the openings but cant get off. Oscar peaked at least a week before this fight. Thats what is called leaving it all in the gym, and its no excuse because its all his fault. The fight is won or lost in the gym, out on the streets, long before fight night.
I've enjoyed watching Oscar over the years - give or take a few performances - but enough is enough already. After he beat Mayorga he should've went out on a high. I can understand if he's pissed off and knows he could do much better because I thought the guy looked ill as he entered the ring. The weight was, and should not have been, an issue. But for the love of God just call it a day - boxing will survive without you.
If he indeed gets a rematch, with all the money he earned, I believe he will pay the million for evey pound he goes over. To go out the way he got beaten would be bad. This was not the Oscar we know. He will find a way to make the weight the next time around, but if he weighs 145 at the weigh-in and 147 during the fight the next time, I putting all my money on Pac. Sorry Oscar.
Yes it does, but not to Roach and Pac. This is where Oscar would excel. I know I am defending Oscar lately, but the fight was flawed with the weight.
I could definitely see Oscar doing better then his first outing, same result though Pac steam rolls Oscar, but in 11 or 12! EDIT: If this is legit then team Pac should set how and where it'll take place.
DLH has already embarassed himself & his family once, why take the chance of it happening again ? DLH cant make 147 & perform above an amatuer level & Pac at 154 is unacceptable by human standards. So.... **** Oscar (with no respect)
Oscar could have been in the best shape of his life but it still wouldn't have changed his inability to avoid Pac's straight left hand on that night. That's got more to do with his ability to react and not his fitness level. If they fight again and Oscar is able to better control Pac's left, it will be because he already experienced it once and made the proper adjustments; not because he trained better and was better conditioned.
