MANNY Pacquiao fought a perfect and splendid fight
MANNY Pacquiao fought a perfect and splendid fight en route to a lopsided ninth round stoppage of boxing’s ageing Oscar de la Hoya, showing the world that the sports of sweet science has found a new superstar.
The General Santos City boxing hero executed his fight plan to perfection baffling de la Hoya with his swarming speed and stunning him with well delivered combinations.
For eight action-packed rounds, Pacquiao reduced his more illustrious foe to a punching bag unable to hit back at its attacker.
