He was Manny Pacquiao's hardest opponent because of his counter punching style. Watch the highlights of the rematch between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.
I definitely want to see a 3rd match between the two. This time...Marquez will stay down!
Me and Oscar Larios at "The Dream Match" Press Conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
Watch the 12th round between Oscar Larios and Manny Pacquiao. Manny dominated the fight and knocked Oscar down a couple of times but he kept on fighting while the other Oscar (DeLaHoya) didn't get knocked down once but gave up and quit. Although Oscar Larios lost the fight...he was a winner to me because he never quit.
"Quitters never win...Winners never quit!"

More "Dream Match" experience
Having Breakfast with "The People's Champ"
Posted by Jake Rosario | 8:39 AM | Jake's Life | 0 comments »Here...I'm having breakfast with Manny the "People's Champ", Jinkee the wife, Cesar "The Masseuse", and "The Doctor".
We were having a conversation about why they call Manny the "People's Champ". Manny's response was..."Because I'm always for the people...and the people's always for me." That is absolutely true. He's the "People's Champ" not only because of what he does inside the ring...but also because of what he does outside the ring. He's the most caring, thoughtful, and generous guy I've known.
Peek a Boo...guess who??? It's Mike. Mike who??? He was at the Las Vegas gym watching Manny's last training day before "The Dream Match"..giving him and the team tips and pointers on how to beat DeLaHoya. It was cool getting a chance to be up close to him. He looks like he can give you nightmares but he's cool.
On My Way To Las Vegas With Manny Pacquaio
Posted by Jake Rosario | 7:54 AM | Jake's Life | 2 comments »Here is a video of the bus that we are taking to Las Vegas today for "The Dream Match" fight between Oscar "The Golden Boy" DeLaHoya and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao on December 6. It's gonna be the best 5 hour drive to Las Vegas ever. Unfortunately, Manny will not be on that bus and will ride in his usual Lincoln Navigator following the bus. He's been riding in his Navigator to Las Vegas for his fights for years and he doesn't want to change things because he's superstitious. I wouldn't want him to ride on the bus if he believes it's gonna change his luck. Either way...bus or Navigator...Oscar is gonna be lying on the canvas on fight night because Manny is gonna knock him out!
