“I’m not too surprised Oscar was able to whip the cheesecake, look at what he did to that French pastry Patrick Charpentier back in 1998. That’s his specialty,” said Pacquiao’s trainer World-Famous Freddie Roach. “However, he’s going to find out that it’s going to take more than dieting down to a Twiggy-like 145 pounds to beat Manny. Manny is no cream puff and he is looking forward to serving Oscar his just desserts at the MGM Grand on December 6.”

I?m going to be honest; we know he has the power to knock him out? I think so, but we know Oscar?s pretty tough. I?m not really picking Manny to knock him out but I?m picking him to outwork Oscar.
