I told him the same thing another time; we used Calderon for a couple of days. I said, "Go ahead and hit that little mother." Again, he couldn't do it. Calderon was too quick and had a southpaw stance, like Manny does. That's when I thought of Manny. I knew then it was a winnable fight."

i know manny ain't calderon but is just as fast or faster and should cast more doubts on dlh being completely dominant on this fight.
i dont know if thats true or not. i really doubt Calderon beat oscar all around the ring. I know Ivan is a very good boxer and all but i find that really hard to believe.

and is it just me or does freddie roach always have something bad to say about Oscar.
i've read in a calderon interview that oscar really did have some problems with him during sparring. as for roach, someone has to do the sh!t talking cos pac certainly ain't gonna do it.
