    This "geek" is going to take Oscar to school tonight bradda! A lot of people think this is going to be close! lol. I see a mid-to-late knockout for Pretty Boy. Oscar will live to fight another day tho.

      If Oscar loses to a guy who is smaller then him, I will lose respect for him even as talented as floyd is in the ring. He shouldn't be able to come into the ring and bully oscar around. Oscar should be leading on the score cards the whole fight, the fight shouldn't be close one bit, unless Oscar can't handle smaller fighters.

        You can defeat somebody by not bullying them around. Beat them to the punch using speed and skill.

          It won't matter a damn what kind of gloves they are wearing, DLH is going to have a serious problem getting a solid hit. Having a smaller ring won't change anything. Instead of pulling straight back Mayweather will just move laterally. Remember he is an American not a European.

            with the added muscle and the gloves, Floyds pop might be a contribuiting factor.

              I bet Mayweather breaks his fist.

              Like in his last fight.

              If Oscar senses this, he's gonna force Mayweather to brawl.

                Didn't you just say that you think Floyds going to win? How the **** is floyd suppose to win if you think he's going to break his fists and Oscars going to force him to brawl? We already know if they brawl, Oscar wins. Floyds never been a brawler with his glass hands.

                  many are betting that boyfloyds brittle hands will come into play. also oscar had choice of gloves for this fight and picked reyes because they have the less padding on purpose. mayweather has always used the japanese gloves winner.

                    Floyd should just slap like Joe Calzaghe...

                    He won't hurt his hand if he slaps De La Hoya around like Joseph Calzaghe.

                      I still think Floyd will win. And then go on to fight mosley and kick his ass. I hate Floyd so much guys, but I always go for the underdog/outcast/non-popular fighter.
                      mosley would be a much harder fight for boyfloyd than oscar.floyd cant hurt mosley and would have a much more difficult time winning on
                      points imo.besides look for a floyd/oscar II after this one.
