Although that was not the ODH of ten years ago, what a great win for Manny and his fans, I was hoping for a UD but a stoppage on the stool is more than any fan could hope for, quality performance.
Pacquiao looked great last night, I'm not gonna make any excuses for ODLH. ODLH should have retired a while ago, I can't see there being any doubt for him now. The first round IMO was the only one that an argument could be made for ODLH winning, I still gave that one to PAC.
Pac looked the man possessed and the better man won. ODLH was all smiles at the end still why? He's still getting paid more lol.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Pac fought beautifully last night. He looked like a lion tamer when he needed to be and became the lion once Oscar was wounded.
His speed, prediction, reflexes and timing were a thing of beauty. It was an incredible performance all the way through.
Many are saying Oscar looked really old and lets face it, he is old. You need to also give Manny a lot of credit for making Oscar look that way. He fought so perfectly that Oscar simply could not relax and get a flow going.
Mr140,
I know, huh? I am all for Oscar and I was also dissapointed to see him like that. No jab, no power punches, no lateral movements, no cutting the corners, no speed, NOTHING! I will remember all his accomplishments and admirable resume for now. Pac still looked in top shape. Showing speed, power, defense, etc. Keeps impressing me with every fight. I would like to see him loose of course (thought he lost against Marquez twice, but aaaaanyways...), see how his fans take it, but as for now it seems difficult to see him loose. There are lots of big names out there.
People really don't think about a fighter beating a guy who's old and passed his prime. People instead remember the guy who beat THE GREATEST and it is a great career builder for the winner. It has happened to many fighters who decide to stay longer in the ring than they have to: Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Julio Cesar Chavez, just to name a few. That is why, like it or not, Lennox Lewis and Floyd Mayweather Jr. probably did a smart move on retiring while on their primes. Sure, it may leave a lot of question marks about what would have happened if he faced this or that.
Marquez,Mayweather jr,Guzman,Valero,Soto,Kendal Holt,Hatton,Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell too many to name all these guys can beat pacquiao...but he chose to take on old fighters.
