CRUSHED! A shutout...
Dec 7, 2008 at 8:55 AM 
Manny Pacquiao, the pride of the Philippines, beat Oscar De La Hoya last night in the 8th round. He made Oscar's face mush-- trust if that was Cotto or Margarito-- it would have been worse for the Goldenboy. Manny looked great...the welterweights ARE boxing today.
From the LA Times.
"Not just beaten him, destroyed him. Humiliated him. Sent him into retirement. Pacquiao's victory had ended an era in boxing that spanned more than 10 years and was the personal domain of a great boxer known as the Golden Boy.
No mas.
After eight rounds of taking a barrage of punches from the stocky, supposedly undersized Pacquiao, De La Hoya walked across the ring to Pacquiao. But not to box. To congratulate Pacquiao on being the better man, the better fighter, the new No. 1 kid on the block."
