MANNY PACQUIAO OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON DE LA HOYA FIGHT
By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 28 Aug 2008
In an official statement read to www.insidesports.ph by Atty. Gacal, Pacquiao said:
?I have agreed in principle to accept the December 6 fight against Oscar De La Hoya. This will be the toughest test in my boxing career because of the reach and height advantage of my esteemed opponent, aside from his great boxing skills.
"This fight however will not be a walk-in-the-park for Oscar De a Hoya. Boxing fans will see the same fire and intensity which they have witnessed in my previous fights. I will frustrate the desire of Oscar De La Hoya to avenge the defeats of the great Mexican boxers who lost to me.
"I am dedicating this forthcoming fight to my countrymen and all the boxing fans all over the world."
