Manny Pacquiao completely dismantled Oscar de la Hoya from the opening bell until the match was halted after eight rounds of boxing in Las Vegas. There really isn't a whole lot to say, because Oscar simply did not show up for this fight. Pacman, the undisputed pound-for-pound champion of the world, landed at will with either hand, although he certainly seemed most comfortable with a simple straight left that the Golden Boy proved incapable of stopping.

Tonight marks the biggest night of the year for the sport of boxing, although the welterweight matchup between Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao is nothing more than a curious exhibition with tens of millions of dollars on the table. De la Hoya, who at this point in his career is more of an executive than a world championship boxer picked this fight for two clear reasons, the first of which is that Pacquiao is universally considered to be the top pound-for-pound boxer on the planet who brings with him a massive fanbase eager to fork over their currency (be it American, Phillipino, or otherwise). Secondly by selecting an opponent whose walking around weight is roughly 30 pounds lighter than his own, meaning he's confident that Pacquiao, for all his speed and ability, cannot hurt him. What does make this fight interesting however (aside from the pedigrees of the two competitors) is how they had to alter their training regimens to meet at (actually under) the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.

By the grace of God it doesn't appear that Oscar de la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao will be able to settle on financial terms for a proposed fight. This means that the door has re-opened (albeit by a crack) for the possibility of a real farewell fight against Antonio Margartio. Of course it should come as no surprise that the sport's biggest draw has little interest in stepping in the ring with the man who is arguably boxing's most dangerous man. So how can Margarito get Oscar to agree to a fight? Why just question his juevos through the media of course! More »

Oscar de la Hoya and Steve Forbes are set to face off at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, for some reason that nobody can quite explain. I'm not about to turn down a chance to see one of the sport's greatest competitors fight a weak opponent, but in a year that's been packed with incredible matchups it's not exactly momentous.

You might remember last week, when those Oscar de la Hoya pictures sprouted up, his publicist denied that they were real, claiming that they were Photoshopped. Everyone in the mainstream press all just printed the denial and dubbed the photos "fakes." This is what they do; it kind of makes them lovable. More »

We're not sure what the heck was going through Oscar de la Hoya's mind when he posed for these photos, and, frankly, we probably don't want to. There's another after the jump, and you can find the whole sordid spread right here. Yipes. More »

Because of the bad people at Time Warner Cable in New York City, we were unable to order the Mayweather-De La Hoya fight Saturday night — the customer service guy, obviously beaten down by talking to countless frustrated customers like us, actually thanked us for not yelling at him — but from all accounts, it was a thrilling fight that might have been closer than some people realize. But the best part for us, without question, was Mayweather's decision to enter the ring, on Cinco de Mayo, against Oscar de la Hoya, wearing a wearing a huge sombrero. That, friends, takes intestinal fortitude. More »

Finally, after putting it off for a couple of weeks, we sat down and watched all episodes of "De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7" last night; enough people had told us we were required to take a look that we sucked it up. And we agree with Robert Weintraub from Slate: It is more fun than anything involving boxing has any right to be anymore. It's obviously stilted, and it's promoting a fight that's not going to be nearly as evenly matched as everyone wants it to be, but it's entertaining television, and that's something boxing hasn't been for quite some time.

I'm not an expert on boxing training techniques, so I don't know if this is a common practice or not ... it's hard for me to imagine, though, Mike Tyson training for a fight by getting a full body nude "greasedown massage" from a fellow named Freddy Roach, and then engaging in non-ejaculatory sex.

Show of hands: Is anyone still interested in the boxers-shouting-at-each-other-and-then-it-nearly-comes-to-blows-at-the-press-conference routine? The last time that was fresh, we think, was when Max Baer insulted Jim Braddock's wife in 1938. But they continue to do it, for some reason. The latest example came on Tuesday, between Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga in a press conference announcing their fight on May 6. Yes — a press conference for a fight that is four months from now. But that's another issue. More »
