An update about Manny Pacquiao vs ODLH megafight scheduled on December 2008.
“Tell Oscar not to worry, the fight will end in a knockout. On December 6, Oscar’s going to think he’s back in the 1930′s when Manny airmails him into The Great Depression,” said Roach in 411mania website.
“I can see when the paperback version of Oscar’s autobiography comes out. It will begin by paraphrasing the opening line of Moby Dick. Only instead of starting with ‘Call me Ishmael,’ it will be ‘Call me Ishtar,’ one of the biggest box office flops in motion picture history. Mark my words he will flop too,” he added.
Oscar responded on his blog in Ring website, “Obviously, he has to try to get under my skin. I don’t know how much of it is real, I don’t know how much is hype.”
ODLH added he would take roach’s words as motivation, “It just makes me train that much harder to win this fight, to show him that the fighter I am now is not the fighter he trained to lose to Floyd Mayweather Jr. I’m a whole different fighter.”
