8th round TKO, The business man, the golden boy, surrendered....what a shame!!!!
I like De la Hoya but it's disappointing when a champ dont fight like they should all they care about is money. I missed the good old boxing days....

I AM HAPPY THAT PACMAN HAVE DONE IT AGAIN.....!!!!!

    I hardly think that all DeLaHoya cares about is money. The guy has been preparing for a future after his career in boxing is over; something too many of the athletes fail to do. His skills are diminished, but in his day, he was unquestionably one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. That being said, he got his **** whooped.

    Not that I'm at all surprised, but No spoiler alert !! I haven't seen it yet -should be On Demand soon HBO.

    Manny is a great fighter and an excellent boxer. He's always fun to watch, and he makes it a point to put on a show. . . takes chances etc. Calzaghe does the same. Margarito and Pavlik are fun to watch for different reasons, and there are others like Paul Williams. He will be fun to watch, although I think he's an ****.

    For me, boxing for me has regained much of it's former excitement, and De La Hoya is partly responsible. Don King not longer has a stranglehold monopoly on the promotion, and fighters that should be, or want to be fighting, are much more likely to do so. There is a ton of competition from light welter to light heavy, and people are moving up and down in class to fight. Now that's boxing, like the good old days. It's the only reason I keep HBO. Anna Paquin on Trueblood helps too.

    He was getting his **** kicked. Why would he want to continue? So he could get hurt further? That would've been the stupid move. He was barely responding to what they were asking him. Theres one thing between pussing out and not wanting to fight, its entirely another to know youre going to get your **** kicked further and going in with a good possibility of getting seriously hurt.

    Hes getting older and that lifestyle is taking its toll. He's still a great fighter and I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on his bad side!

    it was so one sided. I did think Manny would win, his career is peaking and Oscar has been on the downside for several years. When's the last time Oscar knocked anybody down or out? I'm glad my neighbor paid and invited me over.....
