    According to another boxing site Oscar is having Legendary trainer Angelo Dundee help him during training, but he will not be in his corner.

    Oscar is acting like he's fighting Margo!!!! We talkin bout packy......
    We talkin bout packy..... Not Tony.....
    We talkin bout Packy!!!!!

    Dundee being in the corner is probably just a promotional ploy to hype the fight.

    Having Nacho in the corner should be enough.

    yes, promotional tactics. Oscar wants us to think that he is an underdog.

    I really think Oscar should eat properly for this fight if he's going to make weight. He doesn't need to parade his Mexican heritage.

    Pacquiao has a slim chance. Most of it depends on how drained DLH may be from making weight.

    If DLH is really weakened, then Pac has a respectable chance.

    I don't like the way Oscar pumps this fight like he's fighting Ivan Drago!!!

    If he wanted us to be concerned he would be fightning Antionio Margarito!!

    We should all protest this fight............ by watchin it for free on the internet. lol

    Oscar is ONLY a 2-1 favorite. He needs all the help he can get; it's not like he's fighting a steve forbes type.

    Oscar is 1/4 at most bookies, not 1/2.

    At 1/2 i would have bet my car, my house, and my girlfriend

    at 1/4 i don't wanna risk my car and my house

    i want pac to upset dlh, but oscar's so-called 'tactics' are meant to hype up the fight. boxing fans should know better.

    long shot for pac to win, but i am hoping he does..

    This is not an easy fight for Dlh by any means. Pac if he is successful at ww will give AM, Cotto and Clottey a fight at 147.
