Pacquiao once again dominated the boxing arena as he stepped up and beat Oscar “The Golden Boy” de la Hoya in the 8th round of their “Dream Match” this December 7, 2008 at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas.
What happened was a reverse prediction. Americans are initially eyeing de la Hoya’s success and stating that he is a better fighter than Pacquiao. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao proved them wrong as the “Pound-for-Pound” King relenlessly showed the world his overpowering speed and balanced punching pace as he scored a tremendous technical knockout victory over him.
Pacquiao’s first two round was an exceptional showcase of what training has done to him. It was an obvious call from heaven as viewers calculated and predicted that Pacman hit at least 90 plus punches and de la Hoya with only 20 plus, a wide stat gap in rounds 5 to 8.
Referre Tony Weeks already warned de la Hoya that he will conclude the bout if the Golden Boy continues to accept punches from Pacquiao. De la Hoya’s party then stopped de la Hoya from continuing the fight, thus finishing the bout with a TKO win. Prior the fight, boxing analysts all over the world tagged de la Hoya as a heavier artillery over Pacman. Hall of Fame Trainer Angelo Dundee even mentioned in an interview that his bet is a much better fighter than Manny Pacquiao.
No wonder, the outcome of the events attested once more that actions, and still actions has been and will always be speaking louder than words.
