Pacquiao wins in eighth round over De La Hoya

By TIM DAHLBERG, AP Boxing Writer

LAS VEGAS (AP)—The end for Oscar De La Hoya on this night came as he sat in
the corner after the eighth round, his left eye swollen shut and his face
bruised by punches Manny Pacquiao seemed able to land almost at will.
The decision to call it a night was easy. The decision to call it a career
may be a lot tougher.
“My heart still wants to fight, that’s for sure,” De La Hoya said. “But
when your physical doesn’t respond, what can you do? I have to be smart and make
sure I think about my future plans.”
Pacquiao gave De La Hoya a lot to think about by beating and battering him
around the ring for eight rounds Saturday night before De La Hoya declined to
answer the bell for the ninth round. The domination was shocking enough, but the
fact that it came at the hands of a fighter who just nine months earlier had
been fighting at 129 pounds had to be even more troubling for De La Hoya and his
legions of fans.
De La Hoya absorbed such a beating that he was taken to a hospital
afterwards for what was described as a precautionary examination. The most
popular fighter of his generation won just one round on one ringside scorecard
and none on the other two against a smaller opponent who fought bigger than him
from the opening bell on.

“We knew we had him after the first round,” Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach
said. “He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot.”
Roach trained De La Hoya in his last big fight a year ago and said then that
De La Hoya simply couldn’t throw punches when he needed to anymore. That was
magnified even more against Pacquiao, who not only was as elusive as Floyd
Mayweather Jr. but threw punches back that kept De La Hoya off pace.
“Freddie, you’re right,” De La Hoya told the trainer after the fight. “I
just don’t have it anymore.”
If De La Hoya’s career is over, it will be the end of a remarkable story
that began when he won the Olympic gold medal in Barcelona in 1992 and went on
to become the biggest box office attraction in the sport. But while he sold
tickets, De La Hoya hadn’t won a big fight in six years, and there were whispers
long before the fight that he had nothing left.
He certainly had nothing against Pacquiao, who fought a lot bigger than he
looked and who proved that speed was a lot more important than size against a
fighter who at the age of 35 has seen his better days.
“That’s what we were focused on every day in the gym, speed, speed would be
the key to this fight,” Pacquiao said. “I trained hard for this fight, and
that’s why I deserve tonight.”
De La Hoya’s left eye was swollen shut as he sat on his stool after the
eighth round and the ring doctor, referee and his cornermen discussed his
condition. De La Hoya offered no complaints when his corner decided he had
enough, getting up from his stool and walking to the center of the ring to
congratulate the victor.
“You’re still my idol,” Pacquiao told him.
“No, you’re my idol,” De La Hoya said.
It was lopsided from the beginning, with Pacquiao landing punch after punch
while De La Hoya chased after him, trying to catch him with a big blow. Pacquiao
was winning big even before the seventh round, when he was pounding De La Hoya
against the ropes in his corner and catching him with huge shots that knocked
him across the ring.
De La Hoya remained upright, but with one eye closed and his reflexes
seemingly gone there was no chance he was going to land the big punches he would
have needed to turn the fight around. Ringside statistics showed Pacquiao landed
45 power punches in the seventh round to just four for De La Hoya.

“He’s just a great fighter,” De La Hoya said. “I have nothing bad to say
about him. He prepared like a true champion.”
Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 knockouts) came up two weight classes to fight for his
biggest purse ever, while De La Hoya dropped down to meet him at 147 pounds.
Though De La Hoya (39-6) towered over Pacquiao and had a big reach advantage
over him, Pacquiao had no trouble getting inside what few jabs De La Hoya threw
to land his shots.
Pacquiao was credited with landing 224 of 585 punches to just 83 of 402 for
De La Hoya.
De La Hoya not only dropped down to fight for the first time at 147 pounds
in seven years, but actually came into the ring unofficially weighing less than
Pacquiao. Both fighters got on scales in their dressing rooms and De La Hoya was
147 while Pacquiao was 148 and a half.
Pacquiao will earn a guaranteed $11 million, while De La Hoya was expected
to make at least twice that by the time all the pay-per-view revenues are
totaled up.

well well pacquiao has proven himself once again,
i should've not doubted his agility and strength
congratz anyway
