De La Hoya V Pacquiao on Dec. 6
Oscar De La Hoya wants to prove that he’s still the very best.
And for his retirement match, he chose the boxer who has been on a mean streak lately, Manny Pacquiao.
Thursday, the ‘’Golden Boy’’ Oscar De La Hoya officially announced his scheduled bout with the lightweight champ on December 6. If De La Hoya pulls off a win over Pacman, he will be walking away on top like the champion that he is.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum still refuses
to confirm what could be the biggest fight of the century. What he did told everybody is De La Hoya making a big announcement about who’s going to be his next opponent.
‘’We’ll know who is he is fighting tomorrow,’’ Bob Arum said from Youngstown, Ohio, where he was attending a promotional event for the Kelly Pavlik – Bernard Hopkins fight that he is co-promoting with De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.
‘’I made a commitment that I wouldn’t say anything and that tomorrow there would be an announcement. I’m not allowed to make any comments. Everything will be clear on Thursday.’’
Pacquiao has a knack for scheduling bouts with boxers who are either old or retiring, we all saw that when Pacquiao beat a retiring Erik Morales, an aging Marco Antonio Barrera and barely coming up with a win over an older and slower Juan Manuel Marquez despite the fact that I clearly saw the older Mexican winning it.
This scheduled Oscar De La Hoya – Manny Pacquiao fight on December 6 Pacquiao’s people came up with is no different. De La Hoya has repeatedly made an announcement that this December fight would be the last bout of his storied career. STILL, this guy is Oscar De La Hoya and if there’s one guy who can beat Pacquiao from his pedestal, the Golden Boy certainly still has the tools to be just that.
