De La hoya vs Pacquiao (Contains fight result)
I dont remember how to spell that name but its over right? Who won? Maybe it's not over because I can't find any result's on a web search. Fight was in Vegas so I guess it's only 6:30 there. Any info. Anyone watching. $55 bucks is a joke as far as I'm concerned so I didn't buy it.

Go PacMan! Hasn't start yet. All fights like this must have all the pre-fight nonsense.
I respect anyone's choices, but Manny has to be about the nicest guy the sport has ever seen + he is the underdog. I wish him the best of luck. |

is he a cool guy? Definately the underdog!!! Did you see the pre-fight build up show? Hoya is in all these high end place's with huge name trainer's, Cady Escalade's driving around, fancy electic shock recovery treatments for the muscles. Then they go to paci who's training like Rocky on bloodstained matts... okay not that bad but close. Makes you like paci but on the other hand hoya seems cool and it's his last pro match supposedly.

Round 1: Both are reluctant to open up, with De La Hoya walking him down and trying to avoid Pacquiao's left. Lots of feinting, but Pacquiao lands a series of hard left hands that appear to catch De La Hoya's attention. Pacquaio stays off the ropes and avoids getting trapped. Pacquaio finishes strong. 10-9, Pacquiao.
Round 2: Pacquiao isn’t rushing in as he's accustomed to fighting. He’s touching De La Hoya with lead lefts. De La Hoya tries to go hard to the body with little success. Pacquiao is landing his left at will. Good body shot by Pacquiao. A clean left to De La Hoya’s head. A lead right uppercut, left hand for Pacquiao lands flush and is the best combination of the figh. Another lead left hand by Pacquiao. Oscar’s face is beet red. 10-9, Pacquiao. Round 3: De La Hoya is still walking him down, but Pacquiao's accuracy is impressive. Good body shot by Pacquiao. De La Hoya is focusing on rights to the body but he can't land consecutive punches. They trade body shots. Pacquiao's right hook is hard. A lead left land for Pacquiao. 10-9, Pacquiao. Round 4: Pacquiao is responding every time De La Hoya lands anything. A good right hook by Pacquiao. Then he buckles De La Hoya with a straight left to the body. Pacquiao is attacking De La Hoya's body now, and his left eye is swelling shut. A left hand hurts De La Hoya as his legs straighen up. He's being battered like never before in his career in this round. 10-9, Pacquiao. Round 5: Pacquiao is landing at will. A reverse 1-2 combination stuns De La Hoya. Every punch Pacquiao throws he lands, and De La Hoya has yet to show the ability to make Pacquiao respect him. Now Pacquiao goes back to the body. Hooks, straight lefts, uppercuts, they all land. Oscar attacks on the ropes but doesn't land much. They trade, Pacquiao takes some hard shots and comes right back. This is a clinical beating being given to De La Hoya. 10-9, Pacquiao. Round 6: Pacquiao is now walking down De La Hoya and cutting off the ring. He appears ready to try to finish De La Hoya. Oscar's left jab is absent, as is his signature left hook. Huge straight left from Pacquiao. De La Hoya needs a game-changer, otherwise this will be a blowout, if not a stoppage. Pacquiao's legs are still crisp. De La Hoya is flat-footed. Another hand lead left by Pacquiao. 10-9, Pacquiao.

Round 7: Not much clean being landed to start this round. Right hook by Pacquiao lands. Oscar can't trap him to get off his offense. He's too slow. Now Pacquiao gets De La Hoya on the ropes and he's pounding his body. He buckles De La Hoya on the ropes, great body shots. Oscar's left eye is almost closed. He has to hold onto the ropes to stop from going down from a wicked combination. Three consecutive lefts by Pacquiao land. Big left to the body. Oscar is ready to go now. Huge right hook from Pacquiao. Oscar is on the verge of being stopped. He's helpless. But he comes back with a left uppercut to Pacquiao's chin, and the Filipino takes it. This is a mismatch. 10-8, Pacquiao.
Fight is over: De La Hoya fails to answer the bell for the ninth round as he quits on his stool. He walks across the ring to congratulate Pacquiao. Last edited by Noisycow : 12-06-2008 at 08:50 PM. |

You might want to put "Spoiler Alert" in the title.

Then at least put the man's name up there!! I think he earned that --- PACQUIAO
In the Phillipines they are probably going ape! The whole country shuts down when he fights. No crime. No one on the streets. He could easily be the next Philipine president, not kidding. Huge national hero on a level much higher than say a Michael Jordan is/was here. Just look how much bigger Oscar truly is ... 6' reach advantage ... unreal .... Plus look at how Oscar was surrounded by celebrities and other pro fighters at the weigh in; Manny just there with his trainer and pregnant wife in the hotel room. Truly a story just like Rocky vs Apollo in that sense. Last edited by Noisycow : 12-06-2008 at 09:08 PM. |

De La Hoya was so outclassed tonite. Pacquiao was so freakin fast. Punch and circle around him, punch and circle around him, it was sad to see De La Hoya go out like that. He was so outclassed. Congratulations Pacquiao.
