On another note, in Roach's blog this week for The Ring Magazine, Freddie talked about a sparring session that Oscar De La Hoya reportedly had with junior flyweight champion, Ivan Calderon.
"Calderon slapped Oscar around like it was unbelievable. I said between rounds one time, "Oscar, I want you to hit him one shot to show him who's boss." He couldn't do it. I got mad at him. 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 believe speed and stamina would dictate the way this fight is going to go. of course one solid left hook could change the entire complexion of the match.
I believe what Roach said, Calderon is so fast that he can slap Oscar hundred times before Oscar can pull the trigger... Calderon is also very tiny and too slick that Oscar will have all the difficulties in the world hitting him...
What Roach said about Oscar vs. Ivan Calderon sparring must be true...
.
