Ortiz Reportedly Busts Up De La Hoya During Sparring

[BLOODGOD]

Pacman is winning the hyping war in training camp.. i think pac is more charismatic than oscar... just a thought.

[-Boxzilla-]

sounds like a bs planted publicity statement to try and convince people who dont know better that pac has a real chance at hurting and even ko'ing dlh

You got to give Pacquiao credit though. Out of these 4 fighters
1. Pacquiao
2. Morales
3. Barrerra
4. Marquez

Who has fought all opposition?
Pacquiao vs. Barrerra 1 Pac by TKO
Pacquiao vs. Barrerra 2 Pac by UD
Pacquiao vs. Morales 1 Morales by UD
Pacquiao vs. Morales 2 Pac by TKO
Pacquiao vs. Morales 3 Pac by TKO
Pacquiao vs. Marquez 1 Draw
Pacquiao vs. Marquez 2 Pacquiao SD

Who has sat all their opposition MORE THEN ONCE on the canvas?
Pacquiao dropped MB 3x
Pacquiao dropped EM 5x
Pacquiao dropped JMM 4x

This doesnt give Pinoys a reason to praise their fighter? As bitter as some might feel, give credit where credit is due and dont give that excuse EM and MAB were old and washed up. Pac stampeded over MAB in 2004. No one has done that to MAB before. He wasnt washed up then. When Morales beat Pac in their 1st bout by UD, no one was calling EM old then. Maybe if Morales lost, yes they would jump on that "hes been in so many wars" bandwagon.

Pinoys have a right to praise their fighter considering the accomplishments Pacquiao has had.

On the record: I'm about to piss alot of Phillipino's off, probably.

Manny may win in Dec. , but he will NOT knock out Oscar.

We know a few things about Manny. He is fast, has great power for his size/weight and has a good beard.

That does not mean he can take a WW punch, much less Oscars, which has hurt MW fighters. It also does not mean he can hurt ODLH with sheer power or workrate. Oscar has shown to have a granite chin in the past and it will not change overnight.

IMO, this will be a close fight if Oscar does'nt land anything real solidly. If he does, I doubt Pacman will be able to take it.

Pretty sensible post actually. At least you see Manny being competitive. Filipinos would probably be pissed more by "Phillipino's"... nah j/k.

the pinoys love to make rumors up, first the "pacquiao kd of cotto in sparring" and now this.. funny, they do whatever they can to make their hero look good.. ******.

Look who's talking.You mexicans are worse than the Pinnoys.

I want to say a word (well....a few more than that)

I HAVE.,.to get in on this...... Let's forget that Oscar has a top quality chin, and I don't believe he's even been knocked down from a chin punch...maybe once by Ike Quartey in that great fight which Oscar was lucky to win. Someone who'd followed Oscar's career can correct me. I haven't followed Oscar at all, but just remember what I've seen, read, or heard.

As for the actual sparring, assuming it's true....a BIG assumption, the FACT is, that Victor Ortiz at 5'9" with 70" reach, and a light-welter, but probably weighing around 150 at the moment, is nearly as big as Oscar, who is near the 147 mark, Also Ortiz is not only a recognised Champ, but is only 21, 15 years younger than Oscar.

On the other hand, Manny is 29, only 5' 6", with a 67" reach.........and probably, at 29, not any faster than Ortiz, maybe not as fast, I don't now never having seen or heard of him. ........

But it's true. Manny Pacquaio is very popular in the Philippines...

Nothing to do with boxing....but a LOT to do with boxing fans, I want to ask, ..."what is that female in your picture trying to do???....I think she should be doing it in the bathroom, before it's too late.... you know....

Why are we being so subjected to the appearance of female backsides, in every shape or form some blown up by camera to appear monstrous, like Belgian cart horses, who have huge hindquarters. (of the same approximate shape and form) There's nothing there that I haven''t seen before, so am I missing a point (no pun meant)??

And as they try to look at the camera at the same time, we have the strange and sometimes tortuous positions of having both ends facing you (or the camera) together......A strange and backbreaking exercise.
