stunning win by Pacquiao
The highly publicized “Dream Match” between world’s boxer best pound for pound Manny Pacquiao and Boxing’s Golden boy Oscar Dela Hoya turn out to be indeed a mismatch.The only difference is that it was Pacquiao who won by stunning upset that could put to an end to the colorful boxing career of dela Hoya.
It was so stunning that dela hoya did not continue the fight anymore before the ninth bell rings.
As so called ring experts told that it will be dela hoya coming out with spectacular performance and put Pacquiao away by knockout or decision, it was the other way around.
Dela hoya was obviously given his last boxing lesson.
Not to take away anything from dela hoya but i think he is done as far as fighting in the ring is concern.
He had already shown his capabilities and surely be remembered and revered as one of the finest boxer in his era but it is time to go.
Pacman really is the toast of boxing right now.
With the help of trainer/coach Freddie Roach, he was phenomenon it the fight.
Clear fight plan and superb conditioning.
He had also close escape from the punches of dela hoya but he overcome them all.
Pacquiao deserves all the credit!!!
