Speculations on the Pacquiao-de la Hoya bout
It’s touted the biggest fight in boxing. Tonight, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Oscar "Golden Boy" de la Hoya will prove who is the best fighter in the welterweight division.
Filipinos want Pacquiao to win, of course, so much so that Nike sponsored a website for "online prayer offerings" in behalf of Pacquiao, something that Cornholiogogs writes is more like like god-worship. Actually, even without that depiction, Filipinos already hero-worship the fighter.
The favorite to win is de la Hoya. USAToday believes Pacquiao will not be an easy fight for de la Hoya. Recah Trinidad speculates that a win by points for Pacquiao would be stronger than a KO, and it has to do more with "sportsbook proposition" (aka bets) than prestige.
Pacquiao is younger and faster than de la Hoya, but the Golden Boy is the stronger one. What will it take to win this fight? Watch and blog with Filipina Soul tonight in our open microphone, or go there now and speculate about who will get the belt.
