LOS ANGELES, CA -- Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao yesterday sent a strong message to Oscar De la Hoya after he knocked down a bigger sparmate yesterday at the Wild Card Gym here.

Pacquiao unleased a big left hook on the jaw of Arron "Energizer" Robinson, sending the latter on the seat of his pants that had the small crowd electrified at what was described as "Pacquiao's better performance" following a so-so showing last week that was attributed to the plyometrics program being implemented.

Pacquiao also did six rounds against chief sparmate Rashad Holloway and three rounds opposite Michael Dellas, Jr.

Trainer Freddie Roach allowed Pacquiao to spar only eleven rounds yesterday, after which the Filipino icon did his usual routine on the double-end bag, speed bag, and some 1,200 sit-ups supervised by Filipino trainer Nonoy Neri.

Pac hasnt even knocked down Khan in sparring who is the most chinny of fighters

I dont mean to be rude but are you all really judging the fighters on sparring sessions that are done in front of the public?
Come on these are just tricks and hype tools no real sparring gets done in front of the cameras or the public i believe nothing i see or hear from these sparring horror stories they are just wind ups
Also do you really believe one of the best pound for pound fighters on the planet does not no how to duck a counter shot :confused:lol i am an ameuter with no were near the skill of pac man and i can do it this is just hype and rumor lads nothing more

It was probably a Slip man sometimes they exaggerate things to hype the fight and make it seem like less of a mismatch.

And it was more of a posing and feinting session. Pacquiao was super cautious and only went in once and a while for a shot but he had to stretch. I almost thought he would pull a muscle having to stretch in to get a left in.

I also noticed holloway was pretty much able to counter pacquiao easy with check hooks, all he did was step back when pacman threw a manila ice and he countered him with a left hook. Everytime Pacman tried to go for the body he got countered when his head popped back up.

From what I saw Rashad was going easy on pacman you could tell he wasn't even trying hard.

Doesn't matter how he looks or any fighter in that matter in sparring...The idea of sparring is to practice things and get them down...Most of the time you are not ment to look good sparring especially when you are going into a fight like Pacquiao against a guy soo much bigger....,.He is trying to get down what he will do against DLH.......

Don't base how he will perform in the fight just on sparring video.....

So you actually think Pacman has a shot? I am kinda sad by this fight because Pacquiao is the most exciting for me to watch and I believe Oscar will destroy him and pacmans career will never be the same...what a waste sorry but it is not a fair fight pacman has no shot even after seeing the sparring and a guy going easy on him but still touching him.

This is just a hype fight and Oscar better KO pacman and at least give the casual fans wht they want. I hope he doesnt carry the fight and let pacman go 12 rounds in a cautious fight.

Just knock pacman out early and save him a long beating.

Pac may be the underdog, but a live one. Yes he's got a chance.

Oscar better KO Pac before 3 rounds, or it's going to be a long night for him.

I believe Pac will test the waters first in early rounds. He'll be extremely defensive, he'll tire Oscar out. Pac will going to work on Oscar's body in mid rounds (take away his strength) and go for the head in late rounds imo.

People were saying the same thing before Floyd fought Oscar... Floyd IMO won almost every round.

ya but Floyd jr is a defensive technician he can fall back on his defense and pick shots pacman cannot.

And Pacquiao hasn't been over susceptible to the left hook as you are saying, he has only had troubles with the straight right hand, and on one occasion with Morrales the jab. Sure Marquez landed the left hook, but Marquez has a great hook that lands on everyone. I am not saying Oscar won't win this, he is a clear favorite, but he has been gunshy lately. Everytime Mayweather punched Oscar would cover up and not punch back, same with Steve Forbes, he was just lucky Mayweather didn't realize this earlier in their fight, and that Steve Forbes is also a defensive fighter. If he can't get off more effectively then he could be in big trouble against Pacquiao, especially because he isn't as light on his feet as he once was. My main point about Mayweather was that he was able to take Oscar's power if Pacquiao can do the same then Oscar is in for a tough fight, then again if he fights a similar style to what Marquez did against Pacquaio, Manny is fucked, If OScar is willing to stand there and use clever footwork then Pacquaio's offense will be totally neutralized, and Oscar will have a field with him.

Yes marquez landed that left hook and oscar will land it again just to refresh your memory oscar has longer reach and is considered a bigger version of marquez but with better defense.

I personally think that the laws of nature are just too far against him...Too much size in too big a jump with no gradual build up...(EG- a fight at 140 against a scrub and such just so his body can adjust to the weight and find out exactly what the extra weight causes him to lose skill wise...power, how much speed, mobility etc)....

Then again this is against DLH who seems to have the recipe to screw up every fight of this caliber he has ever been in....Something aout DLH and an Opp on the P4P list just don't seem to work for him....Even when he has the fight won....

I have been a detractor of this bout since it was even suggested...IMO it is shameful on DLH part for searching for such a small opp and stupid on Manny's part for even risking it...

With that being said....

I hope that it is not a blow out on DLH end or one where he is beating the hell out of Pac but for some reason does not get the KO till late...it would hurt the sport big.....A quick KO would hurt DLH rep big time....There would be nothing but criticizim from the press for it

oscar is no sparring partner

oscar still gonna win

Ya I think it has to be a mid rounds ko for oscar...Oscar is very confident he knows he will get pacman out of their just like he knew he would get arturo gotti out.

Oscar said he will take pacman out in 6 rounds.

Im Struggling to see how pac can beat dela hoya...really? Need i say anymore, if you want me to just ask but yeah cmon.
