This plainly is poor judgment, or disrespect.

Clearly, anybody who's familiar with Pacquiao; his fighting style, and his capability, is likewise familiar with the jab, jab, left straight. This Pacquiao staple, right jab, followed by another right jab, and finished with a smoking left straight, felled many a name fighters.

For sure, the dela Hoya camp is not remiss, and under prepare against this. Well, they actually overdid it! This was the main thrust of their strategy, much like that of JMM.

How many of this jab, jab left straight did they see in the first six rounds of the fight when it was still relevant to the actual fight? Say six! The abysmal number, that Pacquiao employed this staple arsenal, is what threw off dela Hoya’s game plan. As the fight progressed, they have no alternative plan. The downtrend became irreversible!

To expound more is to give away precious info against my boy, the PacMan.

The fight is a case for one’s good game plan, winning, overcoming the other.

I will leave with that. It would be nice if people will watch tape again before they fill the “posts neighborhood” with mush, or disrespect!
This is a nice addition to my previous post. Robert Garcia, Oscar dela Hoya's conditioning coach is interviewed by Brent Matteo Alderson of BoxingScene.com.

BoxingScene.com: Did Oscar grow old overnight? What happened that night?

Robert Garcia: It was confusion. He didn’t tell me he didn’t have it that night as far as energy. You know what happened and it never happened to him and it happened a little with Steve Forbes, he got lackadaisical and got hit with clean shots. And from what I hear from Joe Chavez, the left hand that hit him in the first round was so clean he was already dazed. Oscar is a hard guy to get to, so the confusion with the southpaw style added to the fact that Manny was hitting him flush with that straight left hand took him mentally out of his game and for the first time he was fuzzy in his head, he was kind of dazed from some of the punches he took. I mean Oscar is a hard guy to get a glove on, he knows how to slip and slide and get out of there, he uses his feet, but because of the southpaw style he wasn’t stalking him or retreating the way he normally does because he was confused. All the big shots Manny landed that night had a snow ball effect. So number one it was frustration.

BoxingScene.com: There has been rumors about a possible fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Does Oscar have anything left?

Robert Garcia: Yeah Oscar has two more fights in him if he does what he needs to do. Go back to Mayweather, get the right sparring. From his reflexes, from his speed, from all the things he still possesses he’s not a shot fighter - he had a bad outing
