    What will Manny's fight plan be? I think Roach will try and develop a good uppercut as this is the punch that Forbes caught Oscar with. Then again, one can try and counterpunch his jab so he'll stop using it as he did against Mayweather. I know the main plan is to weather the early storm in order to come back if Hoya tires out, this is obvious, but Roach said he sees something and won't say what it is.

    That makes sense, cuz Roach was saying that they were gonna turn Oscar's height into a weakness. :good

    On another note, posted images look a lot cooler with this new ESB layout.

    I also have my suspicions that Manny will go to the body, particularly with the right hook. I also think Manny will use awkward angles combined with head movement and fighting low. Unfortunately, I think Manny is not going to be able to hurt Oscar early and Oscar will catch Manny before the tenth round... but you can't really rule out Manny pulling the upset off.

    Manny's great head movement combined with relentless body attack that keeps DLH from getting settled is key..
    Keep DLH moving, keep him missing and keep hitting him to the body.

    ...anything else is a waste of time.
