Props to Pac cuz I wrote him off. I didnt see how he could move up 2 weights to fight a guy who pushed Floyd close just over a year ago . This looked like a different Oscar in this fight to the one weve seen b4 . When Jones moved down from heavyweight he had nothing in the tank either . Infact the only boxer who has done it succesfully recently is Shane Mosley. Lesson to others must be dont bulk up then drop divisions.
Suspicious tactics from Oscar . I duno why he didnt try in the early rounds but Pac didnt let him survive. He went for kill . Alot of boxers like Floyd would have been happy to settle for a points win so fair play to Pac for being a true warrior.
Barreras loss to Pac aint looking so bad anymore
Oscar has the Roy Jones Disease. Symptoms include getting Old Over Night, Not being able to pull the trigger, Very slow reflexes, easy bruising and face swelling.
That was embarrasing. I just hope people dont try to match pac against, any of the bigger guys like margarito, shane, paul williams and the like. That would be too much for pac to climb. He should just spank hatton and retire to his army. lol

Oscar looked old and gaunt. He couldnt even pull the trigger through most of the fight. Reminded me of Roy Jones last month. After the second rund he looked like beaten man. I really thought Fredie Roach was crazy for going after this fight, but he proved he knew something the critics didnt, that his fighter would win. His stock just skyrocketed imo, Manny proved to be a spectaular specimen, he was stronger than Oscar and at 147 still in incredible shape.

AS for me, I respect DLH more for accepting the defeat with honor. He made no excuses and give the credit to Pac. That's how a true warrior reacts in defeats.
To ODLH,
Retire now and please make more great match ups and thank you for the legacy you've left to boxing.
I'm hoping that nothing bad happened to DLH in this fight.

I think ODH is feeling a bit like the Great JCC today, funny what goes around comes around, time to hang them gloves up and concentrate on giving us fans some great future match ups. ODH was a true man in taking a beating and giving respect to Manny, old father time just caught up with him.

I picked Oscar to win because he was the bigger man... I knew he was going to lose the minute the HBO team said Oscar only went up to 147 and not 155-160.. I mean how stupid of a strategy, give up your advantages like that..
I am not a fan of either guys, but I gotta say it was something to behold seeing a guy like Delahoya stature, who has never been stopped(outside of Hopkins bodyshot) get utterly demolished.. Congrats to Pac, he really showed he is one of the best fighters of the modern era
I would tell the Pac fans to enjoy and savor this victory but we know your 10 steps ahead Seroiusly enjoy guys
