Salty is right, he didn't try anything different at all.
What was Beristain saying in the corner?
I said to my friends after the third round "Oscar's not trying".
"I take good care of my people. I like to inflict permanent psychological damage."
He's a professional boxer, he's used to the abuse. There's no way he'd quit on his stool in the humiliating way he did for money. Surely if he's as greedy as people make out he would have tried to beat Pac to get $$$'s fighting Hatton...
ODLH is a richer man if he beats Pac!
Past it, yes. Weight drained, yes. Ending your career like that for money? NO WAY!
Oscar showed what other older fighters have shown us....when you're old and you drop weight you're no good. Chris Byrd, Roy Jones Jr., etc etc etc...because of the weight loss you're slower, your reflexes are shot, and your stamina is gone. Oscar can still sell fights and he can still win but yes of course you have to question his motivation.
Oscar could have some big paydays (which is of course what he likes) vs Margarito, Mosley, Williams, Forrest, and anyone else that will fight at 150 and up.
Manny is now set to earn HUGE money vs guys like Hatton and Floyd Mayweather (who you have to assume is waiting for Manny).
