For the past months, everyone's talking about this. Even before the match was even a closed deal, fans, writers and media have been making a stir in the possibility of the "The Dream Match". Now days before the much anticipated event this year, much have been said about the possible outcome of the match. This article is one of the many. I will create situations and the possible outcomes based on the situation. My predictions are:
1. The fight will go to the scorecards. DE LA HOYA WINS BY DECISION. Given the height disadvantage and physical difference, surely De la Hoya will utilize his jab and fight in distance. In that way, he can neutralize Manny and also setup his powerful left hook.
2. The fight ends by stoppage. DE LA HOYA WINS BY TKO. In this scenario, De la hoya will be too big, too powerful for Manny. Manny's face will be bloody that the ringside doctor will call a halt to the game.
The next two situations are very slim to happen, but definitely given Manny's caliber it will not be impossible to happen.
3. The fight go to scorecards. MANNY WINS BY DECISION. Manny's aggressiveness, stamina and speed added by the volume of punches he threw will be enough for the judges to give him their nod. De la hoya will be overwhelmed by Manny's darting in and out style of fighting.
4. The fight ends in stoppage. MANNY WINS BY TKO. From the start of the opening bell, Manny attacks De la Hoya relentlessly by powerful combinations focused on the lower abdomen. Damage will be greater since De la Hoya is older and his age is taking a toll on his stamina.
i'm not saying that Manny has no chance of winning this fight, but based on history "big men always almost defeats smaller guys". I want Manny to win, definitely! but de la hoya's just too big for him. We'll just hope that even if Manny loses, he'll have no serious damage. Let's just pray together for the success of Manny Pacquiao.
