Pacman Game Over In Round Five
Cointry -- "...we'll catch him in five so we don’t get to nine." said Oscar de la Hoya.
It's logical. He should knockout Pacquiao early because he fades in the later rounds as in his previous fights. A Mayorga scenario? It took him six rounds to knockout Ricardo Mayorga. Manny Pacquiao can do it in 2 rounds.
Aside from Mayorga, De la Hoya's last knockout job was in 2003 in the name of Luis Ramon Campas. Who is Campas by the way?
If the Dream Match happened five years ago, De la Hoya could have knocked down Pacquiao at the opening bell of the first round.
But the wear and tear that Oscar's body had taken through the years takes away from him the ability to predict the outcome of his fights.Even if the reflex is there he simply cannot pull the trigger. Many would disagree. But why did Oscar's left jab disappear in the later rounds during his fight with Mayweather?
Oscar said it will be an explosive fight, the one who got hit first goes down. But Manny will start slow. If Oscar can got through the defense of Pacquiao, there will be an early knockout. But if he cannot do it in five rounds, then it will be "the body cannot follow what the mind desires".
If Oscar's left jab disappear again, Oscar willl slug it out with Manny, if he has solved that lefty issue. But if he didn't, he can try a slow non-explosive tactical fight.
