I don't think OScar has delt with Speed like Pacquiao's before.

I must agree with TAeth. DLH was not weight drained my good friend Bilbo. He was around 147 even weeks before the fight. He was even 145 during weigh in with no issue of his weight.

You were absolutely right, Taeth.


If my memory is correct, his basic strategy today was to probe, attack in very stiff 1-2 combination and retract or withdraw immediately, attack in his usual 1-2-3 combos, often with bodyshots when he think he got Oscar. In the later half of the fight when Oscar was hurt, he did pretty much what he wanted to do. Oscar was visibly hurt from both head and body shots. I remember at one point at around 6-7th round, a body shot stopped cold Oscar's offense and he started to withdraw...

I seem to remember Ike Quartey having some pretty nice hands when he exploded in combination.Who's to say what Pac's speed will be like...at 147 ??I think he may be to muscled up,maybe stiff.

Turns out from what I'm hearing his speed was just fine and combinations intact.Not stiff at all.Manny Congratulations on an outstanding victory and maximizing a very big opportunity,you are without a doubt one of the very best.Job well done.

Oscar,please retire.Have watched you live from day one of career and although I have referred to you in the past as The Colgate kid,the Diva,King Midas,and DelaHypa,you are to be congratulated on a superb and very productive career.Your business sense and ability to keep yourself in the spotlight on the main stage throughout the many years is unparalleled and to be .......respected.Ahem,Please do not turn Ring Magazine into a watered down version of GQ or Oprah and I wish you the very best in your promotional career.Thanks for the memories.....and don't let the door hit you on the backside.
