Did the fight Live up to the Hype For you?

ULTIMATE19y ago

So did the fight live up to the Hype for you? Frankly i don't think it did even though i wasn't hyped up for the fight and had it not been because i got the chance to watch it for free i wouldn't have seen it. It seemed light on action, and contact from both sides and at the end of the day it seemed more like Oscar didn't do enough then Floyd winning. So even in that aspect it didn't live up to hype. Anyway I wanna know from you guys that were Really Hyped up for the fight did it live up to the hype for you guys? was it one of the best fights you've seen? What are your thoughts?

This fight played out EXACTLY how i envisioned it. The only surprise was how close the scores were. Of course I bought it because there was always hope that DLH would win, & I wanted to see that happen.

It was a very entertaining and decisive win for mayweather from my perspective but i feel like he didn't do it Impressively enough to back up all the talk. I actually wish he would have stopped de la hoya because DLH clearly was unable to deal with him and wasn't going to win the fight and it would have made it a better fight, even if i was rooting for DLH. Mayweather should move down in weight and fight elite guys that are around his size and smaller, he would dominate impressively while beating the best that are around, I don't think there is anyone to keep him at 154 anyway. I only think Margarito, Cotto, and Mosley would give him any trouble with only mosley having a truly good shot, but he wouldn't look as impressive against these fighters. ps. Mayweather was dead on, dlh faded and didn't have it in him to pressure and throw enough punches, or he could have stolen the fight with flurries, that's vegas.

It did to me,it was a tactical fight,and im a guy that loves kos.So thats alot to me.

Decent fight, but definitely not up to the hype and not a fight that would save boxing.
