PacMan's Corner

[howarddeduct]

^No, it's the other way around now. Pacman will get 60%. Kung kayang kaya ni Barkley si Godzilla, sisiw lang ito kay Pacman.

well, you gotta coax the T-Rex out of retirement first.

saka yung kay Barkley, scripted yun.

yung mga maka AL-AL mendoza at mga nagsasabi na Binenta ni Oscar ang laban...

 

Tumaya nalang kayo sa Lotto! 10 at 20 pesos lang matatalo nyo... hindi pa masakit sa loob.. Bilog kasi ang Bola dun..

 

sa Boxing walang bola. Walang Manang BOLA dun.. hehehehe.

Im a Pacquiao fan but when I saw the pay per view main event video, clearly, nilaglag ni dela joya ang laban niya. from round 2 to 8. Wala akong nakitang counter punch na style niya..lahat ng patama niya walang pwersa..Sa pagitan ng mga punches niya ang tagal..hindi na nga siya dumedepensa.. pati nga mga trainer niya nagulat as I quote " You have to throw some punches or this game is finish". Panoorin nyo yung main event video ung walang commercial.

 

 

Bakit nya naman ihuhulog sariling laban na prinomote nya? I could not see any logical reason why he would do that. What for?

 

He has got more money than manny pacquiao. He promoted this fight and got a bigger slice in the cake for being in it. So the angle of ODLH being paid to take the dive is out. I mean who would pay him to do that. Not only is he the highest paid boxer of all time but he is a sucessful promoter.

 

Why on earth would he subject himself trough all that physical punishment, and be humiliated around the world? What logical explanation would that be? He would risk ruining his reputation and not to mention law suits if he actually did something like that. What kind of an idiot would make such risk? Whats worth all that for a hall of famer like him.

 

True OLDH should somehow deserve criticism for his luckluster performance but consider the following

 

1.) He was going down weight, and its easier for a fighter to go down wieght than to go upweight. You can tell during the weigh in that he was dry as a dessert stone

 

2.) Manny was awesomely blinding fast. I have seen all MPs recent fight, and he gets faster and faster with each of them. He has not been this fast in the previous fights. The way I see it manny gets better everytime. and it was simply a good move for him to go upweight as he was already having problems staying at 130.

 

3.) OLDH was simply confused. I mean he did not have a correct strategy. His plan was to use his reach advange by fending his opponent with stiff jabs and moving forward. Smartly manny circles on his left where he could not make that straight line. ODLH did not expect that

 

4.) Boxing is also a psychological game kung mapapansin nyo, nangigigil na si OLDH kay manny on some later rounds kasi di nya manuetralize yung bilis nya

 

5.) Simply putting it his time was up. I mean oldh is a great fighter. He has nothing to be ashamed of 10 time world champion, and the highest paid boxer in the sport ever. But he was not as fast and as strong as he used to be

 

All boxer's will eventually erode in time. The fights take a toll on you. This will surely happen to manny also, unless he chooses to quit while he is ahead.

nung bagong sign ang match up nila dami nagsasabi walang magagawa si pacman masyadong maliit mismatch etc etc,ngayon nanalo na naging matanda naman si dela hoya,benta laban what the hell hindi ba pwedeng sabihin na kaya nanalo si pacquiao eh dahil mabilis sya at mas magaling sya nang gabing yun

[gift_of_game]

hey, 20 mil is 20 mil.

let's stop romanticizing other people's boxing legacies like it's our own.

this is hardly a spot-free sport.

they fight in Las Vegas for crying out loud.

:hypocritesmiley:

Asarin na ni Pacman si T-Rex kung ganun.

 

Pacman is on top of his game right now. Throw in Godzilla, Loch Ness, Big Foot, etc. He will gobble them up!

[Qui-Gon Jinn]

yung mga maka AL-AL mendoza at mga nagsasabi na Binenta ni Oscar ang laban...

Al Mendoza was PDI's sports editor ages ago...lahat ng spot sa sports page nun for sale - sa kanya magbabayad hindi sa PDI...kaya siguro ngayon tingin niya sa lahat FOR SALE PA DIN!

 

OT

we were handling the motorsports pr of Caltex that time - Al mendoza sold his soul to Shell that time kaya kahit na nilalampaso ni Glen Aguilar si Jovie saulog and Jody Coseteng was lording it over his rivals in PNTCC e hindi kami makapasok sa PDI sports section.

His last few opponents are either aging or over the hill or past their prime. 35 for a boxer is like 55 for a corporate employee - near retirement. Why doesn't Manny fight with someone his age or in the proximity of his age or perhaps younger fighters? He is becoming a bully of aging boxers. Capitalizing on defeating somebody with a long track record but already past prime is not an accomplishment. It is only self-glorification to the chagrin of aging boxers who are trying to make a last hurrah before bowing out. Ricky Hatton is a wee bit older than Pacman and is looking forward to a fight. Why is Pacman quiet about this? Or is he going to pick on a retired Floyd Mayweather Jr?

 

lol you don't follow boxing too much do you?

 

Pacman fought all of his opponents at their prime

 

the first time he fought Barrera, MAB just came off a stunning victory over Prince Naseem Hamed, who was undefeated and was a huge media sensation. MAB also just came off a FOTY type bout with Erik Morales that was deemed a classic. At that point in time, nobody picked Manny to win, simply because MAB was a living legend.

 

Barrera, Morales, Marquez were all considered the triple crown of the lower weight classes, at the time no one thought that they could be beat and that all the money fights would just revolve around these three. Pacman destroyed them all.

 

Diaz was a young buck at the peak of his career. He had just won the lightweight title prior to getting tooled by Pacquiao.

 

Same goes for Ricky Hatton, a contender at the top of his game.

 

Also, Mayweather didn't retire because he was old, he turns 31 next year, Manny turns 30 on the 17th. He retired to avoid fighting Cotto, and go out on top with an unblemished record.

 

 

 

Get your facts straight.

[dragonei]

Guys guys guys,

 

Ang boxing talagang ganyan. Every fighter will have his skills erroded in time. Least you could do is stay there for a while. Long enough for you to establish a legacy. Matalo ka man ng sunod sunod sa mga laban mo,ang mahalaga hall of famer ka na. That or you quit while you are still ahead.

 

Kahit naman si Ali eh, naging 2 magkasunod talo nya bago siya nagretire finally. Si Holyfield sasayangin nya achievments nya by being doged out by younger heavyweights in their prime, because of his delusion that he will be an unidisputed heavyweight champion pa din.

 

Kumbaga, someone will always come along and end your career. Ganyan ang buhya ng boxingero. Kay golden boy, dumating na yung taong yun. Si manny. But I do give ODLH credit still. I honestly believe that he won that fight against mayweather, and he did look great against forbes. But right now he is just not good enough to beat a boxer in his prime like manny pacquiao

 

And let us give manny the credit he deserves. Siya naman underdog sa laban na ito eh. Many expected de la hoya to win. But he simply fought a very good fight that was too much for oscar. Remember that he did way better than Mayweather against the same opponent.

 

I really hope mayweather will come out of retirement so that manny can permanently put him back there.

 

In the mean time lets all sing hatton wonderland

 

there's only one ricky hatton

there's only one ricky hatton

f#&ked in the ass

raped like a bitch

walking in a hatton wonderland

 

Oh yeah baby, I just can't wait till pacquiao turns hatton into his personal bitch infront of thousands of british fans

[dragonei]

I agree on this

 

True ODLH was old and all that, but he was not exactly impaired, he could still box. Maybe not as good as his prime but definetly he could still kickass. He did good against mayweather.

 

Im not ruling out age as a factor here. Sure that took a toll on him

 

But what really made manny win was his impressive speed, skills, and boxing strategy.

 

Sana nga di mag-away si roach at si pacman. Kasi the moment they do, I assure you magiging sunod sunod na talo niay

[darksoulriver]

Manalo o Matalo si Manny may bida at kontrabida pa rin talaga...

 

Tapos na ang boxing cge pa rin ang storya...
