Lately, Man Up Monday usually ends up being a call from someone to Man Up by manning down.  You know.  Hillary can Man Up by quitting.  Roy Jones can man up by retiring.  This one is going to be different.  Oscar De La Hoya caught a vicious ass whoopin on Saturday night at the hands of Manny Pacquiao.

Oscar has fought at 160 and has won titles in the 150’s where Manny is a real life 130 pound dude.  They were fighting at 147 which means that Manny has been eating pasta and steak and pounding protein shakes for the last two months…and it means that Oscar should have cut at least 8 pounds of water weight coming into the fight.  So I’m thinking Manny gets slower and isn’t used to the weight, and Oscar comes in as big strong Oscar, pushing Manny around the ring.  Boxing has weight classes every four damn pounds…Light fly middle welterweights apparently get their asses kicked by regular fly middle welterweights.  So they keep em separated.  That should be the deciding factor in the fight, right?  Larry Merchant said this fight was going to be a joke.

AHNT.

At the end of the night, Manny ended up with his hand raised.

Oscar needs to man up and not get his ass whooped by a guy who walks around at 130 pounds.  Seriously, dude is 5′6″ 130.  For real.

I’m not getting my ass whooped by that cat on principal.  Ok.  I know, I know, he’s a trained boxer, but fuck that.  I ain’t going out like that.  He might be boxing…but I’m gonna be in a fight.  Kicking knees, tackling that cat, Tyson style biting, Plaxico style gat toting.  I ain’t going out like that.

Oscar is a pro fighter.  35 is supposed to be the new 25.  Manny turns 30 next week, this cat isn’t exactly 22 either.  Oscar literally said he couldn’t pull the trigger, couldn’t get out of the way.  Sounds like a “step yo game up” problem to me.

When was the last time De La Hoya won a fight that mattered?  Mayorga in 2006?  The last time he knocked someone out was 2003.  You fight for a living, you should not get your ass whooped like that.

Oscar needs to Man Up and at least pretend like he wasn’t down with his corner throwing in the towel.  Boxers are supposed to act like they were surprised, like warriors who never say die.  Oscar just phoned it in from the stool.  That is terrible.

At least he has something to fall back on.  His singing career.

You know what…this is going in the wrong direction.  I just keep finding more things that Oscar needs to Man Up on. And I haven’t even gotten to this:

Dammit Oscar.  Here’s what I need you to do.  Go to the bank.  Withdraw a large sum of money.  Go wherever they make “Man Up”.  Walk in and say, “I’ll take all of this here.  Yeah, all of it”.

Oscar De La Hoya, Man Up!

I usually only glance over these Oscar De La Hoya pics because of how turrible he is coming in these joints, but on second pass…ol girl with the slightly mannish face has some ass cheek poking out.  And I like it.
