Humberto Chiquita Gonzalez in an interview with Philboxing.com say that he is with Osar De La Hoya for today's fight, but that he rspects Pacquiao for his agressive style and that kind of makes him remember when Chiquita himself was fighting.
He went on to say:
"For Pacquiao to win this fight he has to get inside and hit Oscar in the liver because this will be bad for Oscar and could hurt him. The other advantage that Pacquiao has is that Manny is a lefty and a different aggressive lefty that really has no style and that makes him much more dangerous.
"Oscar needs to keep Pacquiao at bay with his jab, hit him with combinations and create angles because Pacquiao comes foward and I still feel that Pacquiao will mantain his speed and power, so Oscar needs to be aware of that and fight the perfect fight at a distance."
About Finito Lopez:
"He challenged me, he made some comments in the media that I didn?t like and the i started to train and to get ready fo this fight, he was talking about a comeback and that he was going to KO me and that got me mad, so i went and acepted the challenge and then he was hidding. If he challenges me again i won't take the fight anymore, that fight is over and i won't return to boxing anymore."
