Let the haters hate. And for those who talk about DLh's prime. Mayweather is not a natrual 154 pounder, not even 154. ANd he moved up quickly DlH was clearly much bigger but still lost. Peace DLH and PBF are both all time greats and future hall of famers. Dont hate because not everyone fights to get hit a million times.

Floyd was far from a Pound for Pound great tonight. I liked both fighters, but I don't think Floyd is a all time great. A great would have made Oscar look silly.

Oscar looked his age in that fight and should have thrown his Jab, another silly game plan by DLH to no avail.

I'm looking forward to the return of El Terrible. No ****ing way Morales would fought like either of those guys in that ring tonight.

It Ain't Runnin, It's Skill!

A lot of people are criticising Mayweather for 'Runnin' and not just standing toe to toe and trading punches but we all know thats the way he fights!! Thats his style and skill! He hits and doesn't get hit, its a skill and I like seeing it! Do I like a war, hell yeah, but do I appreciate seeing tactical battles and slick moves to avoid punches, damn right! We knew this wouldn't be a war! I watched live and really enjoyed the fight! I couldn't take my eyes off it and it was so close! Oscar put in a great performance but tired out towards the end. At the end I was on the edge of my seat awaiting the verdict and I do think Floyd edged it on points in my opinion! It did a lot for boxing with all the attention it got and even got on UK radio, which surprised me! I give props to Oscar for making it a close fight but Floyd did fight for this win but used his skill to avoid DLH's flurries! PBF was more precise in landing I felt where DLH seemed to miss more than he hit although he did land quite a bit!! I liked it!

I agree completely man.

It was a damn good fight. Its funny that some people don't like Mayweather's style but claim to be boxing fans. Floyd is a pure boxer, who wins by...... BOXING. Many of Oscar's "flurries" will be on the next PBF defensive highlight tape because Oscar didn't land **** most of the time.

It was skill, AND "runnin"

I fort it was a great fight,Floyd didnt stand toe to toe,but he didnt run,no way did he run,he was circling around DLH

[Shanus]

He didn't run this fight, he ran against Baldomir, but he actually countered when getting hit instead of jumping out of the way, that's what made this fight enjoyable.

The aftermath of Floyd vs. Oscar

Floyd won, by a couple of rounds at least, IMO. Gotta watch the fight again because I was thoroughly wasted by the time it started. However, I'm disappointed in both of these guys. Such an anticipated fight, such hype, and attention, finally the spotlight is on boxing in the sports world and what happens? Floyd backs up nonstop throughout the fight, and Oscar is hesitant to let his hands go despite the fact that he was walking down Floyd and standing inches away from him. Both Oscar and Floyd should be ashamed of themselves. Like I said, I've got to watch it again, sober, so I could be wrong, but everyone watching the fight with me were disappointed as well. There is no way in hell I will pay for a rematch, unless it has an amazingly solid undercard, and the only way I would do it is if everyone coming to watch it will chip in and pay for it for me. Floyd and Oscar will never get another dollar from me.
