Since I believe that fight was a robbery, and De La Hoya refused to give Quartey a rematch, lets settle this shit once and for all. Who did you guys have winning the fight?
Yup. Here is an old scorecard I had:
1 - DLH
2- DLH
3- IQ
4- DLH
5- DLH
6-IQ
7-IQ
8- IQ
9- IQ
10- DLH
11- Even
12- DLH 10-8
Don't let Dirk see you scored and even rd,he's a b!tcch about that...
I had quartey winning a close fight, but u know when u get that feeling that the judges scored it wrong. I remember watching that fight and noticing quartey coming off a long layoff and he wasnt throwing enough jabs then what im used to seeing him throw.
Quartey.
De La Hoya spent too many rounds doing nothing, and did not win 6 rounds. Not that Quartey was doing much either, but he was doing more than DLH.
Extremely overrated fight BTW. 2 exciting rounds and 10 rounds of way too much posing.
I agree word for word. I cannot see how anyone could possibly score that fight for Oscar, it's insanity to me.
Did the boxing gods also inject Mosley with PEDs without him knowing? :thinkerg:
No, the boxing Gods punished Mosley by having him knocked around by Mayweather and Pacquiao.
I recall thinking Oscar won a very close fight (close enough where i didnt know what was gunna happen) I saw that with family and was younger and a few people thought it was a robbery, others thought draw, and others for Oscar. I haven't seen that fight in a long long time. Maybe I'd see it differently since i feel I have a better eye now.
Quartey.

Yea look at them in that fight. Oscar when he was injected himself did better in the rematch, Oscar who was injecting himself stopped a juiced up Vargas...Oscar had more money so he could afford the good stuff.
It's OK, Oscar cheated, won't let us know exactly what he took since he refuses to sign the waiver. But, whatever it is what it is.
Oscar didnt need any of that ****e he deserved the nod against Mosely in the rematch and schooled Vargas, dont overestimate what this gear can actually do for a fighter, the stuff Vargas took is primarily to cut fat (he was never the most chisled fighter) didnt exactly help his boxing that night did it?
Oscar deserved the fight v Quarty also, the desision was on the line and he went out for the 12th like a man posessed

I had Hoya winning,but tbh that fight was so close could have went either way..Great fight,I would not call a fight that close a robbery either..Maybe Hoya got the nod cause of his popularity,but I still would not call it a robbery...
Lederman's card after 11 rounds
Dela Hoya 104 Whitaker 103, 6-5 for Oscar
Quartey 106 Dela Hoya 103, 7-4 for Ike
Dela Hoya 105 Trinidad 104, 6-5 for Oscar
considering how credible Harold Lederman is for HBO, Wow, Quartey really beat Dela Hoya, I wonder what was going thru the minds of Oscar fans that night going to the 12th round seeing an unofficial card on TV Dela Hoya trailing not just by a point but three points apart.
But lets give Oscar credit for taking on the best welterweights of his era all in a close, competitive fight.
You're right-that is a pretty strong card from Lederman
I've got Oscar, but I think there should have been a rematch. It was probably Oscar and his side holding back the rematch instead of the Quartey camp.
Karma comes for everyone though. Oscar lost to Shane, then went for the rematch because he was still the bigger star and he was trying to redem himself. Would Oscar have given Shane a rematch had he won? As we all know, Oscar fought Shane again and lost again. The boxing Gods weren't happy with Oscar not giving Quartey another shot though he deserved it.
