Recah Trinidad of the Philippine Daily Inquirer wrote an interesting preview on the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya. Read on...
No contest and no need to dig into prizefight records, either.
Manny Pacquiao on Friday scored his biggest, quickest off-ring knockout when he formally agreed to fight the fight of the decade against a bigger, richer, glossier Oscar de la Hoya.
So what if it has the makings of a mismatch, in favor of the Golden Boy, right at the start?
Yes, the only edge Pacquiao could visibly bring inside the ring at MGM Grand is his age.
At 29, the smaller, shorter but reputedly quicker Pacquiao will not be carrying in his legs the burden of the years, rust and cobwebs that have been predicted to hobble down the 34-year-old De la Hoya come fight time on Dec. 6.
