Pacquaio vs De La Hoya?

Jetplane · Dec 2, 2008

Oscar gonna get smoked.

Yea, hate to say it being a Mexican myself but Pacquaio has pretty much owned Mexicans.

Garbage, meaningless fight.

yeah, it's funny how they call it a dream matchup. it is garbage... but to an asian (that's not flip) it's kinda cool.

crook> lol yeah... antonio had it coming to him.

oscar will win

manny gonna get beat up bad

Jetplane · Dec 2, 2008

you guys really think oscar still has it in him? i've been right in oscar's last 3 fights... i don't expect to be on the losing end of this one.

Oscar's gonna have to get a lucky punch cuz i don't think he has the stamina to last this one out.

lifexpired · Dec 2, 2008

i think oscar knocks him out in round 8

HarryCaray · Dec 2, 2008

Wow, DLH -195? WOW. That shocks me.

Jetplane · Dec 2, 2008

-195? wow... what's the age difference? I'm not sure that Oscar will be standing in round 8... should end by 6 or 7 in my opinion--DLH getting KO'd from exhaustion.

Pacquaio by KO is almost +500 at 5D... %^_

By time they get in the ring Oscar is going to be twice the size of Pacquaio. Oscar picked a fight he knows he can win to try and look good.

This fight is a joke but De La Hoya is easy money here. Pac gets laid out in the middle to late rounds.

Wow, I don't think that Manny is the better boxer... i just think that he'll outlast DLH, and when DLH is too tired to keep his hands up--pop goes the weasel. But +500? sick!

well at -195... i wouldn't call it easy lol... even IF DLH is supposed to win, that's a lot to invest to make a few bucks.

Floyd was -200ish versus Hatton last year and we remember what happened right???? Blllluuuueeee Mooooooooon

Jetplane · Dec 2, 2008

Now FLOYD was an easy bet... but still i'd keep to the -200 as "not easy money" lol.

Here, same situation (juice wise) but I like Manny. Heh. I'm either the brightest bettor or the dumbest degenerate. I'll probably lay money down on Manny KO +500 or so and pray to get lucky i guess.

The size difference is pretty damn important here. De La Hoya is going to put on a good amount of weight after the weigh-ins and should be the much more powerful fighter. I wouldn't bet on Pacqiuao unless you think the little fella can avoid the KO and out-technical De La Hoya. Hard to say for me but I think I'm gonna try some De La Hoya. Just too much reach and there will be a good power advantage.

Jetplane · Dec 2, 2008

i'm going into this knowing about his weight and power. speed will hurt an older fighter though. think of the stamina!

TTinCO · Dec 2, 2008

Damn, I meant to post an article that I read in the LVRJ last week about this fight. I'll try to dig it up, but the jist of it was that DLH doesn't have the speed to stay in this fight.

It's not going to be a big play for me, but I'll be taking the +180 (Actually, I think I can find it even higher than that out here).
