PACQUIAO VS DE LA HOYA: "HE WHO BREATHES BETTER SHALL WIN"

LOS ANGELES -- The upcoming clash between two superstars Oscar De la Hoya and Manny Pacquiao will be decided on who between the two fighter "out-breathes" the other better.
This was the opinion made by Dr. Wilhelm Wilk in an interview with Philboxing.com yesterday here. Wilk visited the Wild Card Gym yesterday to see old pal Rob Peters, and at the same time watch the Filipino boxing icon in training.
Wilk, who is based in Torrence and Van Nuys, had previously fitted mouthguards for Tommy Hearns and Oscar De la Hoya.
"You have to understand that the most important muscle for a boxer is the diaphragm, and the boxer who most efficiently breathes will have a huge advantage over his opponent," said Wilk.
