OSCAR looked THE SAME, and MAAAD Props to FORBES

Lets actually take the time to list somethings that Oscar improved: Body punching - Oscar's body shots were much crisper and harder tonight than at any time I can remember in his career. Combinations - Oscar brought back his old combination punching style. Jab - Oscar brought the jab back in force tonight. It looked really really good. Nobody in boxing has a better jab than Oscar. Foot work - Oscar used his feet well. He stayed on his toes, he applied effective pressure. He didn't just stand there like he did with Floyd. He was moving in and out, changing range, moving side to side. Hand speed - Oscars hands looked much quicker tonight then they did against Floyd or Mayorga. Paul Williams - He is one ugly mother... Patience - Oscar didn't throw useless punches or march in carelessly. Relaxation - despite all the bullshit Lampley and Company spewed, they got this right. Oscar fought much more relaxed. He had plenty of juice left at the end of the fight. go to sleep mate :nonono:

yea i thought the same thing. Oscar will get treated the 2nd time around vs PBF. Having Sr in his corner didnt do much I think he looked the same as when he fought PBF the 1st time. Oscar will get whopped by any of the top 3 WW.He better think twice about wanting to fight Cotto in december.

floyd will hurt him this time

I disaggree with you that Mayweather is a great finisher. I can't recall where he hurt a fighter and jumped all over him and try and stop him has he ever done this? watch da phillip n'dou fight. soon as floyd wobbled him he jumped all over him

He buckled Oscars knees on several occasions with that quick counter right. Some one has the combo in their sig. Oscar is flailing like an idiot, not landing anything, and Mayweather slips in 2 counter rights and the second one makes Oscars knees clearly give. that last punch definitely threw him off balance. ODLH didn't even see it, he definitely was hurt or buckled. The way you guys talk about floyd is ridiculous. He doesn't have the power of most of ODLH opponents(Quartey,Trinidad,Vargas on roids,Mayorga,Chavez,Sturm,B-hop).

Oscar is a natural southpaw, he will never be comfortable rolling to his right. It just won't happen. Yeah, he had his best success on defense when he kept both hands up.

Nobody in boxing has a better jab than Oscar. ... He definitely made a point of utilizing his jab, but there were also noticeable gaps in the middle and late rounds. It could be a lack of respect for Forbes' ability to hurt him, but, on numerous occassions, Oscar just waded his way in without jabbing. And Oscar hardly has the best jab in boxing right now. It's very good when he uses it, but the best? Come on... The rest of your post is more or less agreeable. I thought he may have looked a little soft, physique-wise. If I were him, I'd be right back in the gym on Monday, getting ready for Floyd - assuming he actually wants a legitimate shot at winning.

I thought DLH looked better than I have seen him in years. He worked the jab well, threw combinations and most importantly didn't fade much as the fight went down the stretch. I would've liked to see him work the body more and I still think the shoulder roll defense that Floyd Sr. introduced to him is wrong for him. Forbes did a much better job than I expected him to do in the fight and I thing he's going to be trouble for anyone down at 140.

Except for the showboating (which was pointless for numerous reasons) Forbes deserves a lot of credit.

I didnt see much difference in the way OSCAR fought tonight then when he fought Mayweather. He just deliberately bounced on his toes a lot more. And he tried to box more but Forbes is no Mayweather. Mayweather stops him at 147 is my prediction. With 8 ounce gloves, that counter right hand slips in before a wide DLH left hook and wobbles him. Mayweather is a very talented finisher And Good God, Lampley and co. were unbelievable in their bias. It was frustrating. They weren't giving Forbes any credit. He made a mismatch on paper appear like a competitive fight. And there were like 4 or 5 instances in the fight where i looked like Forbes might have been on his way out, and he would weather the storm and come right back. Forbes gave a Great account of himself. BUT PS: DLH in his old age has mastered one of my all time favorite combinations, the jab to the body and the straight right hand upstairs. I LOOOOOVE that combinations This is how the fight was suppose to go. If you thought Forbes was going to get blown out of the water, you either need to watch more boxing, or simply do not understand boxing.

angel manfredy.. but that was back at 130 forgot about that one, that was a great win for Mayweather

Credit to Forbes he fought an ok fight showed good defense, chin & toughness. The showboating I didnt get though but I think he was thinking of his paycheck when he was doing that lol

Floyd would never knock Oscar out. Other than that I agree. Oscar looks pretty much the same.

I don't really think we can get a totally accurate picture of how De La Hoya will do against Mayweather based on tonight's performance.

I LOOOOOVE that combinations I doubt floyd stops dlh. dlh looked better today than when he fought mayweather... probably because forbes isn't as good as mayweather... but dlh had more stamina, let his hands go, and was pumping that jab really good.

I disaggree with you that Mayweather is a great finisher. I can't recall where he hurt a fighter and jumped all over him and try and stop him has he ever done this? Hatton. But the problem is he rarely hurts fighters badly enough where he can go all out. Its usually an accumulative beating where the ref has to step in as Mayweather finally starts pounding a way. When Mayweather gets his man in serious trouble he'll more likely then not end the fight right then and there. And Oscar DID fade tonight for sure
