KO? Check.Later round? Double check.
Complete and total dominance? Uhm...sorry, didn't catch that one.
When Manny Pacquiao started out by flicking jabs and left straights at de la Hoya right in the very first round, my first thought was "Oh shit, dance around Manyy, tire him out, don't go toe to toe, not just yet!")
But then, I noticed one other thing. De la Hoya couldn't hit Pacquiao at all. The slick moving, quick dancing, weaving and bobbing Pacquiao turned the Golden Boy into a turnstile which just kept going around and around and around.
And when Pacquiao pummeled a cut into de la Hoya's nose int he 2nd and closed Golden Boy's left eye in the 6th, I knew it was a matter of only time until I was proven right.
The main bone of contention now seems to be: if you were de la Hoya, would you have cried "No mas" or would you have gone down swinging?
