Mismatch that is ODH v Manny Pac

[CFH]

When I first heard about the fight, I felt the same way. Now, the more I think about it, I think Pac is going to win. Oscar is old, on the decline, has stamina issues, and he hasn't had to make 147 in years. The weight alone is going to be a huge factor, and when I considering everything else in Pac's favor (speed, youth, stamina, everything except power) I see Pac beating Oscar.

When the fight was announced/signed, Hoya was at -250 and PAC at +200. Now the odds were something like Hoya at -200 while PAC at +150.

I think the odds will become closer as the fight comes nearer.

News like PAC knocking down his 5' 11" middleweight sparring partners will even up the odds or turn to PAC's favor...

[THE THIRD MAN]

This will be a nice 3 round send off for DLH!

This will be a nice 3 round send off for DLH!

These were my original thoughts but now I think he is going to fight Hatton in the new year providing he gets past Malignaggi which I think he will easily.

I admit that I'm the biggest pAcfan here. Many can attest to that but I really can't see Manny winning this fight. Oscar will win this with hard shots around the 7th to 9th round. I hope I'm wrong.

Btw, Oscar won't be knocking Manny in the early rounds even if he can do it..... that would be anticlimactic for him.... and it would just confirm the popular opinion in the boxing world that this is a mismatch. Oscar is not that dumb to lose his credibility via an early KO.


I am contented with the fact that my boy gets a shot at ODLH and be truly known throughout the world.... of course, with at least $20 Million after that, Manny is a true winner in this fight win or lose.

This is why it's a meaningless fight, If ODLH wins, it's because he is so much bigger. If PAC wins it's because ODLH is too far past it.

Translation: POINTLESS

I understand people getting into the hype saying this is a mega fight, but it's not, it's a mega event that is completely pointless in the scheme of things for boxing. I know Saddoboxer, brings up this fight regardless of thread topic, and he has made it clear he is stoked, but for me, it WILL be on the sports book, but I WON'T be watching.

I personally hope that ODLH flattens PAC within 3 rounds so everyone can see how pointless this fight is.

Very well put, KS. I especially agree on how the fight's pointless in boxing's scheme of things. However, we hope for different outcomes, and here's how I would reword the last sentence more to my liking:

I personally hope that Manny flattens Oscar, embarassing him for taking on the much smaller man, and not someone like Margarito or Cotto, in his own weight division.

How about Oscar kicking Pac's ass for taking a fight with a bigger guy just for the money?

Goes both ways . Nobody is twisting Pac's arm.

This one is "The Mismatch"...

Peter looked like Vitali's adopted son...

You quoted the wrong person, I didn't say that.

But what fighter would turn down the payday that comes along with an ODH fight? Hell, I'd fight him and he'd probably put me in a coma.

I hope that happens so I can revel in the sweet tears of the Pac fans.

I'm hoping that PAC can defeat Hoya in a more convincing way (a UD will do) than what PBF did to Hoya... so that PAC can call PBF out of retirement... So there you go, the meaning of this Hoya-PAC fight...

So you are saying beating a fighter who should be retired in order to get a fight with someone that is retired has meaning? You are more delusional than I thought.

So you mean, you're not interested to see a PBF-PAC fight IF (BIG IF) PAC beats Hoya more convincingly than what PBF did to Hoya?

The fight between the present no. 1 P4P against the one before him is I guess a very meaningful and interesting fight...

Of course we all know that PBF is not yet in that retireable stage... He's still very prime...
