I watched this fight too. Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao! Once again, he proved that he has what it takes to be the CHAMPION! Alhtough I think that Dela Hoya gave up too soon.

I beg to disagree. Oscar dela Hoya was clearly out in round 7 when Manny Pacquiao was pummeling him without answers. He even got a few seconds rest at the time when he held on to the ropes. Round 8 was just a miracle round his corner hoping he can give one lucky shot but to no avail. So i guess it's just wise to call it a night for dela Hoya than take more damage from the relentless Pacquiao.

you disagree with what? whatever it is we are so happy that the little guy won this fight. for me its an unbelievable fight with oscar and he won . i myself at first is thinking about that its a mismatched, I thought that Manny will not win this fight because he is smaller compare to 5'10 height of oscar, de la hoya is too big for him, as if like david and goliath and the golden boy will simply vaporize the little pacquiao. at first i thought its a big joke , many people say its a mismatched, but pacquiao 's triump shut up the other people/media's big mouth. the golden boy was a very good fighter but that was before. pacquia turned Oscar's face into a mess. I will never forget this fight because this one is really one of the best and Oscar de La hoya will never forget this also. Pacqiao's Victory is a Victory of all Filipino!!

Manny Pacquiao totally outclassed Oscar dela Hoya. I never eeven thought he can pull it off as beautiful as he did in the fight. I have confidence in Manny Pacquiao but he made it look so easy to beat his opponent. This is one for the book. It will go down in history as one of the greatest fights in boxing.

yes man i agree with you that its one of the greatest fight in Boxing , one of the greatest fights i've ever seen. Oscar punches looked weak, he couldn't find the mark, manny pacquiao was just too fast, oscar could not throw his punch to manny because he was so fast. THANK YOU MANNY for a jOb well done, Kudos for Manny Pacquiao!!!
