Oscar De La Hoya hires new trainer for Manny Pacquiao fight
Once again, Oscar De La Hoya will have a new trainer in his corner. The Golden Boy has hired Ignacio 'Nacho' Beristain to prepare him for the Dec. 6 fight against Manny Pacquiao.
"I already have a plan in mind for beating Pacquiao and I know Oscar will do whatever it takes to carry that plan through on fight night," Beristain said in a prepared statement released by De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
Oscar has been trained by nearly every top trainer in the game, including Emanuel Steward, Gil Clancy, Floyd Mayweather Sr. and Freddie Roach. At this point, I'm sort of looking at Oscar like I'm looking at the New York Mets. If the Mets collapse again, well, maybe it wasn't Willie Randolph's fault.
If Oscar fades in yet another big fight, well, you can't blame every trainer in the game.
Beristain has worked with Mexican legends like Ricardo Lopez, Daniel Zaragoza and Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez. He currently trains Juan Manuel Marquez, who fought Pacquiao to a draw in 2004 and lost a split decision to him earlier this year.

Give please. Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life. Help me! Need information about: Sponge bob shower curtain. I found only this - denim shower curtain. Add a modern designer touch to your bathroom with proper shower curtain rods by adam petersbathroom accessories like shower curtain rods have significance of their own. If you really look at your bathroom the shower curtain usually takes up the largest space in your bathroom, so make sure you choose something that coordinates with the entire bathroom.
