Reasons why ODLH will beat Pac

[Puerto Rican Punch]

This is a fight that really bothers me because De La Hoya wants to be consider as the big "Mexican Warrior" and I have to admit he has been great, and I have been a big fan of him. But, it really bothers me that he is trying to gain his glory trying to beat a significantly smaller opponent. He selected a small body with a big name. If he wanted to get this credit, then he had to fight the # 1 of the division, Margarito (and loose with honor), but this is just my opinion.

But, anyways his trick is working and I will watch the fight. I guess that on the paper De La Hoya should win, but I am starting to have this feeling that De La Hoya at least will visit the canvas courtesy of a straight left from Pacman. I feel that Oscar will take a lot of risks with the smaller guy who is very quick (a punching machine), and there is when the clean shot may come.

I will be wishing luck to the Pacman in this challenge...

It takes two to tango. So why single out Oscar for taking this fight. Pac is a superstar, Pac has plenty of better and more meaningful fights at 130 and 135. But Pac, just as much as Oscar, wants the "event" fight and lots of $$$. I personally think both fighters should be ashamed of themselves for doing this fight. They both could make plenty of money fighting people in their natural weight class. As for the fight itself...unless Oscar has become shot as a fighter or comes in totally unprepared...he has no business losing. Size, power, chin, and skill advantage are all in his favor. Sure...Pac will be faster...but Oscar fought a competitive fight with one of the fastest AND the most skilled fighter in the buiz...Floyd. But we are supposed to believe that Pac will be so fast and devastating...that Oscar will be in trouble?! As for those who think Pac will knock Oscar out...you need to have a word with yourselves. Oscar has a tremendous chin...one that has been tested by guys like Trinidad, Mosley, Quertey, etc, etc.....fighters who are naturally bigger and stronger than Pac. Not to mention...if Oscar's excellent jab is firing...with his size and reach advantage...how will Pac come in to land? Pac also has a bad habit of lunging on his punches...leaving him unbalanced....a recipe for disaster when Oscar lands his left hook. But hey...anything is possible. And if Pac wins...mad props to him. But if you look at this fight logically...it's a joke.
