Congrats to Manny Pacquiao. Dela Hoya didn't know what to do with MP even in the beginning of the round. He's done ... retirement is next for him. :naughty:

Well, obviously Pacquiao had a lot more invested in this fight than De La Hoya did. But, for all the hype my Filipino friends were giving me I was a little disappointed. Sure it was kinda neat how the underdog won the fight. But, as one of the commentators said, there was only one great fighter in the ring and the fight was not really that great, not worth the PPV money for any non-fan probably.

I take Manny Pacquiao will have his hands full with Dela Hoya but in the end he will come out the WINNER !

I was afraid that Oscar would knock Manny out...on the contrary all Oscar had all night was a handful of fists onto his face!

Bad publicity for Oscar. IMO, even worse for the sport of boxing, with Oscar quitting.

I don't blame Oscar; he already made his $20 million, so why risk further injuries from getting beat up some more.

It didn't turn out to be a fight. Just a straight out beat down of Oscar.

oscar threw the fight...

Threw the fight?

I think you meant "threw in the towel" so that he could stop the beat down.
