Off Topic · O/T Delahoya vs. Pacquiao (page 1)

For you fight fans out there, this should be one of the most entertaining fights in awhile. Delahoya has the size and strength but Pacquiao has ridiculous speed. There won't be any running around the ring with these 2 aggressive fighters, they're going to go right after each other.

I'm pretty excited about the fight, I just wish I was in Vegas to see it.

Prediction: My Filipino brother Manny in an 8th rd TKO.

Round 1

Manny is so much faster and quicker. He gets a few jabs squarely on Oscars face. Oscar is punching at air a lot, where Manny used to be.

Manny takes round 1.

Round 2

More of the same from round 1. Oscar is just standing there as Manny dances around him Manny keeps landing his left jab to Oscar's face. A few good flurries but Manny dominated.

Manny takes round 2.

Round 3

Oscar looked more comfortable but Manny continues to dance around him and being the more aggressive fighter. Manny snapped Oscar's head back with on straight left hand. Oscar is going to have to land a big one to have a chance.

Manny wins round 3.

Round 4

Oscar just cant deal with Manny's speed. Manny is killed him with a straight left hand. Manny is embarrassing Oscar, flat out.

Manny wins round 4.
islesfan @ 12/6/2008 11:33 PM
Most dominating round yet until about 30 seconds left when Oscar hit Manny with a few good left hands. Good action to end the round.

Manny wins round 5.
islesfan @ 12/6/2008 11:37 PM
Round 6

Oscar is now strictly countpunching. Manny is still the aggressor nailing Oscar with flurries of shots. Oscar's right eye is swollen and red. Oscar has to KO Manny if he's going to win this fight.

Manny wins round 6.

Round 7

Manny fucking destroyed Oscar that round. Oscars left eye is shut. The ref should have ended the fight. Oscar didn't even fight back. This could be over real soon.

Manny wins round 7.

Thanks for the undates Isles. I really appreciate it.

What do you think about Manny against my boy Ricky Hatton?

If it happens, Itll be the most exiting fight ive ever seen since Lewis-Holyfield

Round 8

Great heart by Oscar but he didn't catch Manny with anything substantial. Manny is so much faster and killing him.

They just called the fight. Oscar's corner threw in the towel to protect Oscar.

Manny wins 8 rd TKO.
islesfan @ 12/6/2008 11:48 PM
Seriously, this was as dominating a fight as I've ever seen. People are going to say out slow and old Oscar was but it was seriously all about how great a fighter Manny is. Oscar was thrown for a loss in rd 1 by how fast he is and never recovered.

I've seen Manny's last 5 fights, I'm becoming a huge fan and not just because he's my homey. I'd love to see him fight Hatton. That would be a great fight.

No problem guys. Glad to do it. Just glad that me and TMS aren't the only ones interested.

Larry Merchant just asked him about fighting Hatton next. Manny didn't really say much. That could very possibly be his next fight.

Oscar needs to retire. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao would be a legendary fight.
islesfan @ 12/7/2008 12:00 AM
Now they're talking about Floyd Mayweather coming out of retirement to face Manny. I don't know firefly, I think I'd rather see Manny try to hand Floyd his first loss.

What do you guys think about Juan Manuel Lopez, who starred one of the fights tonight and knocked out argentinean Sergio "Rocky" Medina in only 1:38 minutes in round 1 tonight. His last 3 wins have come in the first round and he sure seems like future boxing star. He is puertorrican, and for those who don't know, Puerto Rico has given many great fighters.

So, what do you think?

Lopez looked good but it's hard to say because the Argentinian didn't show up to fight. The guy basically turtled.

The kid who fought the first fight on the undercard, he's from Crown Heights Brooklyn, looked really good. Really fast.
