HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. - Six-division world champion OSCAR DE LA HOYA reportedly beat up ... A CARNEGIE DELI CHEESECAKE!

Reports are sketchy, but it appears that an irate De La Hoya committed Pastrycide on the 11.25-pound, 12-inch antioxidant-rich chocolate cheesecake sent as a Thanksgiving gift to him at his training camp in Big Bear Lake, Calif. from TEAM PACQUIAO.

"I'm not too surprised Oscar was able to whip the cheesecake, look at what he did to that French pastry Patrick Charpentier back in 1998. That's his specialty," said Pacquiao's trainer World-Famous Freddie Roach. "However, he's going to find out that it's going to take more than dieting down to a Twiggy-like 145 pounds to beat Manny. Manny is no cream puff and he is looking forward to serving Oscar his just desserts at the MGM Grand on December 6."

There will be no holiday for Roach and Pacquiao today. "It's business as usual for Manny," said Roach. "Manny has a full day of training, including eight rounds of sparring."

With 10 days to go until the super fight, Manny Pacquiao is more than willing to forego a Thanksgiving turkey feast as he prepares to cook De La Hoya's golden goose.
