When it's a big guy against a little guy... bet on the little guy. Manny Pacquiao, coming up from lightweight (where he only fought once) soundly pounded Oscar De La Hoya, who has fought as heavy as middleweight. The bout featured eight rounds of lightning quick Pacquiao left hands into the face of a bewildered De La Hoya. By the end, De La Hoya was reduced to the position of an 85 year old man sitting in a half-conscious state while others discussed his fate. It was decided that De La Hoya's next stop could very well be boxing's version of a nursing home.
De La Hoya had two things going against him. The first was a major strategic error. De La Hoya weighed a slight 147 lbs heading into the ring. Most people assumed he would enter the ring at least a dozen pounds heavier. When you are much stronger and your opponent is much faster, you don't want to relinquish your strength. By keeping light, De La Hoya gave up some of his strength, but he was still far slower than Pacquiao. If you're going to be slower anyway, might as well be your strongest.
The second thing preventing De La Hoya's success was a stylistic mismatch. The Golden Boy is primarily a left handed fighter. Pacquiao dominated the fight early by throwing split-second left hand leads into Oscar's face through his guard. As a result, Oscar's left hand was shy. Even when it wasn't thrown, the Pac Man's left kept meeting De La Hoya's face; had he let it go, the punishment would have been even more devastating. A barrage of straight rights was De La Hoya's only hope and he doesn't have that punch in his arsenal.
Pacquiao's performance was one for the ages. The smaller man destroying his significantly larger opponent with his quickness, footwork, will, and technical precision. It was a magnificent sight to be hold. One that provides inspiration for the little guy the world over.
