Ok fellas before you jump all over me and call me an idoit read the entire post. I saw the fight and yes I was amazed at how badily Oscar got beat. I was thinking we were going to see a good fight competitive and if anyone was going to be handing out punishment it would be De la Hoya handing out more then he was taking. But Manny showed us that speed is the main factor in boxing. If you have the advantage with hands speed and you carry some power you can dominate just about anybody no matter what the weight class.
manny didn't just look faster but he looked light years faster on Saturday night. I kept telling myself I was dreaming I even pinched myself to make sure I was awake. I had to stand up after the 6th round and turn away from the TV because I couldn't belive what I was seeing. It was like Manny almost didn't want to finish him he would pull back off the ropes and waive Oscar in. Like as if he was asking Oscar bring the fight to me. Many think that if Oscar had fought Cotto or Marg they would have disposed of Oscar just as easily. I beg to differ and I will tell you why.
Oscar main issue Saturday night was speed. Lightening fast greasy speed just like Mickey said in Rocky II. If you can catch this chicken you can catch Creed. Well I bet Nacho didn't have Oscar chaing any chickens during his trainin camp. Point is Marg is a come forward face first puncher who doesn't punch that hard but throws alot of punches. Oscar could out box Marg for a few rounds and put up more of a fight then he showed us this past Saturday. Heck he might even be able to bet marg if he got Marg to agree to fight him at 154. marg would nver bounce on his feet and jump around the ring on his way in like PACMAN did. marg would be getting tagged with Oscars jab. End point is although I think marg would beat Oscar he would have had more a fight on his nads then PACMAN did.
Cotto same thought here is not as fast as PACMAN. Doesnt not move around as much on his way in. Don't think Oscar could out box him as easily as Marg but I think he would be easier to hit then PAC was Saturday ngiht.All in all I think it would have been a more competitive fight than we saw Saturday when the so Called Dream Match took place ...More like Oscar's Night mare.....Lefty
