    "Ngayon pa lang po ay excited na ako na bumalik sa gym at maghanda ng tama at walang paltos na fight plan para kay Golden Boy. Alam naman natin na mas matangkad at malaki siya kaya naman po medyo nagpapalaki ako ng kaunti para hindi masyado malaki ang agwat namin. Siyempre, hindi ko isasakripisyo na mawala ang bilis sa ibabaw ng ring, na siyang isa sa mga bentahe natin, sa aking palagay"... http://philboxing.com/news/story-18892.html

    Translation: Even this early, I'm very excted to go back in the gym(Wilcard) to prepare for what is our perfect game plan against the Golden Boy. We know that he is taller and bigger so I'm trying to bulk up a little bit but not to the point that I will sacrifice my speed inside the ring. I truly believe that speed is our biggest advantage...

    As long as he carries the speed and stamina he won't have to worry much, all he needs to do is fight the same way he did against Diaz but against a far more experienced, powerful and bigger DLH. Just keep the movement up all night, if he shows any stamina issues then he will be in serious danger.

    Agreed.. Speed and stamina is Pac's keys to victory.. Keep moving, evade jab and power punches, get in, throw combos, get out, repeat..

    Exactly, I just hope he doesn't think about slugging it out, if he does he could hit the canvas.

    I wonder what type of fitness guru he is using. If i were him, i would go with the best in Macky Shilestone. He did wonders for RJJ, Spinks, and Hopkins. They all won their debuts at a higher weight. I think there is a right way to add bulk and not exactly a wrong way but not exactly the right way either. For instance, i looked at Winky's body at 170 and it did not look great. It looked like he could've come in more toned up at the right places and not have man boobs. :lol:

    He needs to fight just like he did in the David Diaz fight.. Don't even think about a KO.. Just keep working on him all night..

    Yup, a possible KO MIGHT come late, if it comes it comes but he shouldn't focus on it, just outpoint Oscar by showing better stamina. As the fight keeps going Oscar will fade anyway and openings to score more will be right there, just hoping/praying he doesn't go in there looking to slug.

    The sad thing is that even though MANY are picking DLH over Pac and I mean MANY to the point where it looks one-sided in favor of DLH all these guys will claim DLH is "shot" or "old" to try and steal away a major victory IF Pac does pull it off.

    Same thing with his wins over Barrera and Morales.

    That's true but we don't have to worry about Pacquiao winning. I highly doubt he will beat him. DLH is too big and strong. Pacquiao should have fought Soto instead.

    I hope that "perfect plan" involves getting hit by a guy who is naturally much bigger and much stronger.

    That's all it's going to come down to.

    Obviously that plan includes more defense. Manny is gonna get hit, I mean who doesn't get hit in fights? But I think the plan is to get hit less by incorporating more head movement, in and out and side to side motion, and blocking. I see Manny boxing at the early part of the fight and slugging at the point Oscar loses stamina...
