Oscar Has No One But Himself To Blame!

[plhare]

Despite PBF's accuracy and quickness-especially his ability to get away from DLH before DLH could flurry in the corners--DLH had several opportunities to at least pull out a draw (based on scorecards,one of which I agreed with). The key rounds for DLH were:1, 9, and 11. DLH gave away rd. 1, lost momemtum in rd. 9 after making the fight even in rd. 8, and needed to fight his heart out in BOTH 11 and 12. He did none of the aforementioned. Instead, he let PBF dance away in rd. 1 and rested in 9, 10 and 11. In my mind, it is rd. 1 that is most important-DLH gave away the fight based on that round. Of course, there are many other aspects that also went wrong for OScar, such as a coach that would not keep on him, and his refusal to jab after rd.8 which should have been key to getting PBF on the ropes more often. Without the jab DLH could not keep PBF away from him. I think there needs to be a re-match. DLH with a jab quite possibly wins the fight. Just my two worthless U.S. pennies.
