Comments Thread For: De La Hoya On Final Fight, Loss To Pacquiao: I Was Hoping To Get Knocked Out, Was Drunk During Camp

Either way drunk or no drunk would have lost, I think he's drunk in this interview.

Yeah he looked like a zombie in there the weight drain left him a step behind pac all fight it was painful to see after a few rounds.

Oscar had no business cutting down to 147 at that point in his career. I'm baffled as to why Pac fans hold this fight in such high regard.

That's nothing, Tony Galento got drunk before a fight and still won.

So this guy failed to mention, HE CALLED OUT PACQUAIO. Pacquiao had JUST fought at 135lbs and although looked good, was still testing the larger waters. Pacquiao had to move up to 147lbs for Oscar.

You want to call it a weight drain, but then why did Oscar even seek Pacquiao out? This midget as many would call him? How about, Pacquiao was #1 P4P and Oscar wanted an easy win against the smaller midget in hopes of restoring some hope of continuing his career? Kind of like what Mayweather did calling out Marquez for his "comeback" fight coming out of "retirement". You know, call the midget up a few weight classes and dominate him.

It's easy to change the narrative once time has passed and people who were in the know then, are no longer around speaking their minds. Thus, he can come up with whatever these days and the casuals will eat it.

This is so on point. I even remember when Oscar called him out, Filipino officials in the damn congress tried to stop the fight saying it was one sided For Oscar and Manny was going to catch a beat down lol.

I'm trying to understand why this documentary was released. I like De La Hoya the boxer, but I don't get the weak narrative. It's not a worthy documentary. I feel another approach should have been taken, and I believe DLH is still challenged by demons.

In before Roadblock's 5 page excuse of a novel on Oscar being drained

[djtmal]

That is very unprofessional of Fishnets. He deserved the beating he got for not preparing for the fight properly.

Dude you have an account on this site so presumably you know about the sport and know Filipino officials thinking this DKSAB.

As a legit fan, you know 8Ball dela Fishnets hadnt been at 147 in 8 years. You know he wasnt going to be the 147 version of himself from the past.

There is no way YOU thought Manny was going to get beaten like that.
