Update: Dec. 7, 2008 – If you missed the fight we have the Pacquiao – Delahoya video here.
The current odds for this fight are -165 Hoya / +135 Pacquiao
Live on Saturday December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Live on HBO PPV. The Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya (39-5) will square of with Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao (47-3-2) .
Oscar is taking this fight very seriously and is back training in Big Bear, California where the air is very thin making your body work extremely hard. Oscar is 3-2 in his last five fights, most recently winning a unanimous decision over Steve Forbes.
De La Hoya will come into this fight with a bigger frame, height advantage, weight advantage, and power advantage. Don’t let all those facts fool you, this will not be as easy as it may appear on paper. He is older, loosing some of his speed and tenacity.
Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao, also known by some as the Mexican Assassin. Will look to add De La Hoya to his resume of very talented and skilled Mexican fighters he has put away. He may be smaller, but has youth, speed, stamina, power, and the will to take this fight to Oscar.
Pac Man is riding on an eight fight win streak and will have the people of the Philippines on his shoulder. This has the makings of a very exciting fight, so be prepared to see both fighters in the best shape of their life. Oscar is looking to end his career on a high note and Pacquiao looking for bigger fights in the future.
This will be a great fight to watch and bet on. All you pacquiao fans don’t wait too long to place your bet as the margin may slim down closer to the fight. Oscar fans take advantage of this David vs. Goliath match up and cash in.
