Enter Oscar de la Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao fight, 6 December 2008
Oscar de la Hoya May, the Mexican descent, but there is a US-born in Los Angeles in California. He won gold in the box, only the United States for the Olympic Games 1992 in Barcelona. And it is the exchange of blows with the boxes today, hot number to the books of pounds sterling. Jet in the drama that some of the Hoya wishes of "revenge" for all captions Mexico boxing Manny Pacquiao has fallen, and you have the makings of a genuine blockbuster, the Make sure that Golden Boy's already congested in the abundance of some more.
In contrast to the use of a food the basis of the boxing match, these discussions about this fight is much more colorful and has to lead the talks by far the merits of the fight for the benefits (or DeMerit) by Oscar de la Hoya in their choice Pacquiao for his last fight wrapped in his career.
Much Ado noise from those of the Non on the game. De la Hoya is 5'10 "while Pacquiao is 5'6 .6," de la Hoya and Pacquiao more than 25 lbs. More, de la Hoya is used to counteract the largest competitors in the to 160 pounds, while Pacquiao has never officially weighed more than 135 books in every battle.
These arguments about the clash of single are increasingly hot on the sidelines.
Regardless of the game that are not true or not, the next question would be who in the enjoyment of the game catch-up/catch-down weight la Hoya has a lot to lose and much to gain Pacquiao has-hey, we are talking about weight.
On the other hand, it seems that de la Hoya really have much to lose in the sense that they enjoy all the benefits of size, weight and experience. De la Hoya fight from official records from 1992, when he TKO'd Lamar Williams in Inglewood, California. Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand, his first tracks at a modest profit by the decision in 1995 against Edmund Enting Ignacio on Mindoro, Philippines.
If Pacquiao loses, he always wins. The fans were lean, sure, compared to a loss of a major fighter. He has, however, receives more respect for the courage always to win and with it the true Pinoy pride.
