    The Acting Amigo 2-1 underdog against Floyd

    Just checked the odds and placed a wager on Oscar. He's already 2-1 underdog.

    I suspect that Floyd will bring his bicycle into the ring with him, making the last four rounds of De La Hoya-Trinidad look like the Thrilla in Manilla, and win a fairly easy pickpocket UD.

    I'd like Oscar to win, mind...

    I agree that he will be on his bike all fight, but that's just his style and I don't think people should dig him for it. The whole purpose of boxing is to hit and not get hit, which is exactly what Floyd does.

    Floyd dominates and wins UD

      It depends on the degree of bike riding... if he's just running and pot-shotting to build up points, then it's a marked degree of difference between that and Ali's style. It's all about degree IMO.

        That's true. I like him as a fighter and enjoy his style, I just can't ****ing stand him.

          Don't misunderstand me - I'm not saying he's usually on his bike to an unfair degree. I'm saying that when he meets The Acting Amigo he'll bring his knee pads, crash helmet and go faster stripes.


          And yes, he's a **** as well.

              In all fairness, he'll HAVE to run against Oscar, it's at 154, Oscar has grown into his body, just as Shane Mosley did when he moved up.. he'd be a fool standing toe to toe, but it's his boxing career, if he wants to throw 30 punches a round and make people regret buying the PPV then so be it.

              I see the hype of this card being huge btw, I can imagine there will be alot of good undercards, can't wait.

                Yeah, but there's a difference between winning rounds like Ali, and winning rounds like Hopkins vs. Eastman or Tawdry vs. Williams.

                  But a round won is a round won, even if I do hate the way he fights at this weight group I'll still tune in to watch the fight, so do hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions in May, but that'll be mostly because it's Oscar who's fighting.

                  Even though he chats **** saying he gives the fans what they want, which is what pisses me off the most, the fact that his head is so far up his own arse means he DOESN'T know what the fans want, and he proves that time and time again.

                    I agree, and yet I don't.

                    Okay, Daniel was a sack of **** that night anyway, but Tawdry "winning" rounds against him by ****ting his pants and pitter-patting his head is not outboxing him IMO.

                    Anyway, with the current trend for scoring ineffective aggression, maybe we'll have some laughs.
