If Pacquiao wins.........

[TitoFan]

My personal happiest moment in boxing was Tito-Vargas. Two of my happiest moments in boxing not involving Puerto Rican fighters in championship matches have been: Tszyu-Judah, and Barrera-Hamed.

If Pacquiao beats Oscar, that will certainly rank among my top 10 moments. But if lightning were to strike, and Pac somehow lands a lucky KO punch on ol' Oscar..... that would probably land the moment at # 2 for me. I'll be happily drunk for a week.

If Pac wins, he will be declared as a living saint in the Philippines.

If he KO's Oscar, I'll consider changing my name to PacquiaoFan.

God knows I'd love to see him beat De La Hoya, Oscar is a bit too much of a media-man for my tastes, but I just can't see it happening.

If I had to put money down on an outcome, I'd say DLH starts out cautiously, making sure Pac can't hurt him with anything he throws. When he's satisfied of that, he'll realize that he has to win the fight big... 'cause some of us fight fans think he's a coward going after smaller fighters. And since Pacquiao isn't one to back up or fight on the defensive, he would mix it up with Oscar. And somewhere around the 7th to 9th round, Pac would throw a right jab and leave himself open for a left hook from Oscar. And that would be the beginning of his downfall. Oscar could foreseeably KO Pacquiao in the later rounds, to avoid a wimpy decision win.

Needless to say, however... I would be happy to lose a bet like that.

My final scenario of the fight (whatever round this would be):

... With a big cut on his right cheek, Oscar desperate to land a big left hook on Manny. Luckily Oscar got the opening he's waiting for, Manny leaning forward was caught squarely on the chin by a big left hook... but at the same time, Manny's own powerful left hook landed with a big thud on Oscar's body... Manny crashing on the canvass and frantically grabbing the nearby ropes... Oscar back stepping 2 steps with his eyes still focusing on the knockdowned Manny then suddenly Oscar fall on his knees grimacing in great pain... The still shaky Manny is back on his feet with the aid of the ropes on the count of nine... while the kneeling Oscar still grimacing in pain, crying and slapping the canvass with his gloves... Manny beat the count and Oscar did not...

Manny wins by KO...

Note: Referee Tony Weeks got confused at one time telling the different respective counts alternately on both Manny and Oscar...

He's already considered a saint there...but don't worry because it's not going to happen.
