Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao wins The Dream Match against De La Hoya in 8th Rounds via TKO. I was very lucky to see a live video streaming online. The fight was stopped after the 8th round as Golden Boy Oscar De la Hoya can’t continue and with the help of his corner, they rather stop the fight. De la Hoya’s left eye was swelling shut. It was all Pacquiao in the 8th round. Oscar can not throw anymore punches and simply Pacquiao is dominating the Golden Boy.

Congratulations Manny Pacquiao. We believe in you. You make us Filipinos very proud. Viva Pinoy. Mabuhay ka Manny. Is Ricky Hatton next?

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, for the third straight month, is the clear choice as the world’s finest pound-for-pound boxer in the monthly Yahoo! Sports poll.
