I can say I am now an avid fan of Manny Pacquiao. Wow he played so great! Honestly, I was not a fan of him before. In fact, I didn't even showed excitement every time he had fights. But now that Oscar Dela Hoya surrendered at 8 rounds, wow Manny is truly an extra ordinary boxer. And he played so clean. "Great Job Manny!Congratulations! Thanks for bringing a great pride to our country and keeping the Filipino people united even for just one day!" How about you? What can you say about Manny's fight just recently?

I was really happy about what Manny Pacquiao have shown in his fight with Oscar Dela Hoya. He really improved inspite of all the prestige and boxing titles he already have won. His speed is really surprising. Dela Hoya was not able to make his moves because of it. I think Dela Hoya had problem with losing some weight like what happened to Erik Morales in his last match-up with Pacquiao. I think Dela Hoya became weak and his age made him slow. I am very proud of Manny for giving honor to our country once again. I hope he will continue to improve as an athlete and will continue to be one of the country's pride.

Yes you are right maroseqf! Dela Hoya was left speechless! He couldn't do anything to counter fight Manny. Good for him because he challenged Manny very much by giving him a boxing gloves with print that stated"I'll knocked you down"...lol. Cheers for Manny! And thanks for your response!

That is so true. He still showed his respect to Dela Hoya by not being too aggressive whenever he has the chance to do so. ^__^ Cheers to him, cheers to us, cheers to every Filipino!

I admire Manny for being a good sport. He is a clean player. He don't play dirty tactics like some of the boxers. During his fight with Dela hoya, he had a lot of chances to be aggressive but he didn't do that. So cheers to us! Thanks for the response icedcoffeemallows!

I would say it was indeed a mismatch but the other way around. I want to see the reactions of those so called "experts" in boxing saying that Manny Pacquiao would be knocked out during the fight. I too did not expect Manny to beat Oscar in that manner but I think Freddie Roach did really see something that most experts did not see. He(Coach Freddie Roach) was vindicated after the fight for saying The Golden Boy is too old and can not pull the trigger anymore.

Pacquiao has won over de la Hoya..
At first I thought his not match with De la hoya because De la hoya is much bigger than him but he proves once again that he is really a great boxer he can beat anyone even much bigger than him. Your right his bringing a great pride of our country and every time he fight we always unite.
Congrats Manny you did it again..

Pacquio really get the advantage to win the fight since dela hoya is on diet for him to reach the exact weight for the fight.

In the interview of Manny Pacquiao when he arrived yesterday, he said that the weakness of Dela Hoya might be due to the acupuncture he had gone through during his training. But it became a benefit to Manny anyway, so thanks to Dela hoya for it.lol Thanks for the response iloveciao!
