Note: flamers (yes, Diego****o, this means you) need not reply. Thanks.
anyone recall the last time Oscar fought an eight rounder?
Oh, it's okay, I remember - it was last night, wasn't it?
But apart from the Acting Amigo gassing out again, I really enjoyed this one, can't really connect with the detractions. I was actually standing up watching it during some rounds I was so into it.
It was perhaps 80% anticipation and I wouldn't necessarily watch it again, but for the time it was on I was entertained. (those undercards bouts though... now THEY blew).
As much as I hate Floyd - and ****, do I hate that charmless loudmouth - I give him full credit for his boxing last night, and only saw maybe one instance of "negative" boxing. (The first round, when the boos of the crowd seemed to spur him on). His idea that putting your elbow in your opponent's throat is an acceptable defence still concerns, but this was a considerable performance.
Biggest shock was that his offence counted, with the astonishing sight that he was actually able to hurt Oscar. Floyd's accuracy constrasted with De La Hoya, who - despite making it a far more competitive fight than I anticipated - couldn't land a clean shot on this impressive foe.
I had Floyd winning comfortably in an enjoyable bout. Well done Floyd. Even if you are a ****.
