Dream Match Is Just A Week Ago: Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar Dela Hoya
I can’t wait! I believe almost 80% of the Filipino people (80% of the 90 Million) are saying the same thing. The dream match between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar Dela hoya is just a week away. On December 6, 2008 at Las Vegas, Nevada, the dream winner will be announced.
On this fight Manny Pacquiao is the underdog, with a 4 inches reach and height disadvantage this fight is really an unbelievable boxing match up. Million of boxing fans thought this fight is simply about money, but the two fighters disagree, it’s about revenge for Dela Hoya (according to him the fight is for his family) but for Pacquiao (to him the fight is for the country) it’s for glory and honor.
This dream fight is as exciting as you could imagine, Manny Pacquiao began his career at 106 pounds and only once has fought as high as 135 in his last fight with David Diaz - the light weight champion. That means he is going up two weight classes for this one. For De La Hoya, who has fought as a middleweight, the problem is just the opposite. His last fight in the middleweight division was 7 years ago. I think losing weight is harder than gaining weight, I think Manny Pacquiao was right on what he said that speed might be the key on this dream match.
As a Filipino I will put my bet on Manny Pacquiao I know he can win and might even give Oscar a sweet KO, on the other hand Oscar Dela Hoya heavier and bigger arms might send Manny Pacquiao to the canvass which is 100% possible without a doubt.
