Dela Hoya Knocks Out Manny Pacquiao?

People have been talking about this fight between Oscar Dela Hoya and Manny Pacquiao. Who will be knocked out first? Recah Trinidad of the PDI wrote an interesting opinion on the sensational fight.

There will be endless debates.

But there's no assurance the fight will go to the younger but quicker or, God forbid, to the older but bigger, warrior.

It will be war and the winner will be the smarter and, definitely, the braver one who would risk everything to prevail.

There will be a clash of two schools, between combatants of contrasting build, prowess and lifestyles.

Based on available ability and achievement, the sensational Pacquiao would draw enough wagers to his camp.

But it goes without saying that De la Hoya could still swing it riding on the intangibles.

In fact, the strongest weapons De la Hoya could bring into the fight may not exactly be that worn-out, limited artillery Pacquiao and his trainer have gleefully observed and dismissed.
