Pacquiao vs De La Hoya

This past Saturday night at my roommates aunts' house, I had the pleasure of watching the Manny Pacquiao vs Oscar De La Hoya fight. Pacquaio is considered to be the best pound for pound boxer in the world right now. He's held that title ever since Floyd Mayweather retired. On Saturday night Pacquiao proved that he was the best boxer by destroying De La Hoya for eight rounds. From the first ten seconds of the fight it was clear that Pacquaio was just too quick and talented for De La Hoya. The southpaw tore up De La Hoya's face to the point where Oscar could barely open his left eye. The disappointing part was that it didn't seem like De La Hoya was even fighting back. The fight was called after eight rounds because De La Hoya was taking too many big punches to the head and Manny Pacquiao is currently the welterweight champion.
