Two days before his fight, Manny Pacquiao has an early morning walk around the UNLV Track accompanied by friends and fans in preparation for “The Dream Match” against Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas on December 4, 2008. Pacquiao would come face to face in the ring and dethrone one of his boyhood boxing idols “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya for the fight that was billed as “The Dream Match” on Dec 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Pacquiao retired De La Hoya on his stool when his corner threw in the towel before the start of the 9th round. Photo by © JP YIM
