Manny Pacqiuo: All I can say is.......DAMN!

[Deanrw]

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.

Very well said! Neither embelishments nor prejudices propel these statements to the top shelf, in my book.

Plumb center is hard to achieve in a commentary and or critique, this in my mind, is close.

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.
