Isn't this what they would call a boring fight?
Why are they so hard for Oscar. This was a horrible performance. I hope Oscar never fights again. Its plain to see that he can't beat any of the top contender.
I agree. Overall, it was sickening though. Here's a guy coming up two weightclasses two fight a legend of the sport, a man everyone predicted would win by KO, and not only does he las the full 12, but he manages to look competitive and land 130 punches on the dude. He got wobbled many times and always came back, never being seriously hurt and continuing to fight on. The HBO crew didn't even mention half of this. They did not talk about Forbes AT ALL during the fight. Very sad.
Its almost like they were being paid by GB.
Fact of the matter is given all these circumstances, Forbes should have been KO'd in 6.
Manny Steward was performing fellatio on Oscar De La Hoya.
Lampley always does.
Merchant wasn't as bad, he was questioning Manny when Manny would make some questionable comments.

I expected no less from the HBO crew, but Manny was saying good things about Steve too
Yeah you're right. I think that Steve fought the best he could at his level. If FloyD Sr thinks that he can make Oscar Jab his way to a victory against ANY of the top fighters right now he is quite mistaken
It would have been even worse if Max Kellerman were there. He's not into Hispanic men like Oscar, but he would have sounded all night like he was wanting to perform fellatio on Forbes.
I find it highly embarrasing that the most exciting punch came from his opponent who has 9 ko's.
I think Oscar should not bother to fight Floyd.
It was all about promoting the September rematch with Mayweather. And there is no better way to do that then to sell that Oscar has a better chance to win than he did last time. Lampley and Merchant showed some restraint, but Steward was nauseating.

actually oscar was trying very hard to stop forbes and oscar was throwing a lot of punches and being very aggressive. it wasn't that boring.
lampley is no longer a commentator.. he is a cheerleader..
manny was biased tonight tho..
this fight was impossible for dlh to lose.. he wasnt a puncher, he doesnt fight at jr middle and hes small..

The fight was decent I thought the HBO guys were ok, I mean its a showcase bout for Oscar what did you expect?
Obviously he wouldn't match up again against mayweather...
Cotto might hurt him if cotto gets past the jab... Cotto isn't as slick as mayweather or forbes...
