This is not a sports blog, but it does not mean that I will not write about sports. I will, especially if its concerns the most famous Filipino athlete today: Manny Pacquiao, current WBC Lightweight Champion. He is scheduled to fight Oscar De La Hoya, the famous Golden Boy, and champion of six different weight classes, on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. They will fight at the welterweight limit of 147 lbs.

UPDATE: Pacquiao won via TKO at the end of round8. It was such a mismatch, contradicting the predictions of many boxing experts. I was shocked to see De La Hoya moving so slow, making an easy target of the strong punches of the Pacman.

I’m sure the sports scribes and even the lowliest of fans already had some sort of predictions and analysis forming in their minds. So, who do you think will win this fight? What is your fight results prediction?

Oscar Beats Manny
