That's history for Manny Pacquiao after he TKOd the Golden Boy (second only in Dela Hoya's career - the first to Bernard Hopkins). I can say that this is the end of Oscar's historic boxing career, one of the best fighters of all-time and the face of boxing in recent memory...
Right after the first round, I have seen how good Manny was and he can take Oscar out. I have all the first four rounds to Pacman. Round 5 saw Oscar's new life as he somehow connected a few clean punches. But since that, its has all been again to Pacman. I thought that Oscar will go down in the seventh but he is so durable to withstand the barrage of punches that Pacman gave him. This was, for me, the worst round in Dela Hoya's career that I have watched.
Round 8 was a punishment for Dela Hoya. You can he that the leg movement was gone and his reflexes was so slow. He just kept on recieving Pacman's punches. Anytime, I said, he will go down. Its a good thing though for his corner to stop it to avoid further beatings. He can't fight anymore.
So what does Pacman's win means??? This just showed that Pacman is not just a great fighter of his generation but also a living legend... To be included in the top ten of all-time greats such as Ali, Tyson, Duran, Leonard, and Dela Hoya himself.
... Another Fighter of the Year award from Ring Magazine as he also demolished this year top-notch fighters JM Marquez and David Diaz.
Also, this means another megabuck fight with the current WBO light welter champ Ricky Hatton come April 2009.
Welcome to England, Pacman...
