    - - When Ali ran, it was boxing.

    Mexicans are not allowed to run.

    Oscar dominated and thought the scoring reflected that, so played it smart against a devastating puncher to box Ali style.

    Had boxing open scoring like every sport worth a shyte has, Hoya would've kept on and won. Boxing is always gonna be rigged when mystery $$$ is involved.

      I see your point. But, at the end of the day, while I agree with you that De La Hoya lost the fight by himself in a way, the scorecards should have been in his favor. Even if he ran like a rabbit in the final third of the fight, he still won the majority of rounds, except for the judges.
      I don't think so. I think Tito won fair and sqaure.

      I scored it for Oscar but it wasn't a robbery. A lot of the early rounds were competitive and either way.

      If he didn't literally give away the last few rounds he'd have won comfortably, but, he did, so he lost.

        To be entirely honest (again!), I've never been a huge fan of Ali as well. I just don't appreciate those who use their legs to draw circles around the ring. Having said that, Oscar still deserved to win against Trinidad.

          I'll watch the fight again. I only watched it live when it happened, so my memory could fail a little.
