Mayweather-De La Hoya: Great Fight, Wrong Decision

[Technical_Skill]

I deal with this one at a time. When your the heavier puncher, by FAR. Landing volumes of punches landing the harder punches and dictating where the fight the is fought IS effective agression.

When your doing damage and in some cases HURTING YOUR OPPONENT, that IS effective agression. There's also the issue of outworking your opponent asside from purely effective agression.

Bro, lets get things straight, De La Hoya was not landing the majority of his punches

He got tagged for a laugh from round 9 onwards

He nearly got dropped in rounds 5 and 12

Throwing more punches that dont land are NOT scoring punches,

Thowing fewer punches but landing more DOES score points,

Mayweather CLEARLY won,

Have you seen DLH's post fight interview? he practically admits he lost, calls mayweather a legend etc.

Its on boxing scene now.

Go watch.

Which fight were the doubters watching?

HBO 116-112
ESPN 116-112
Associated Press 116-112
Judge 116-112
Judge 115-113

All Mayweather...

And one judge who obviously was part Mexican, on DLH's payroll, watching some other fight, was looking at DLH's ass waitin' for him to fart, or possibly took too much acid in college.

I'm not really a huge fan of either of these fighters.

I mention that because you seem to be a big Floyd fan and under the impression I'm some kind that I'm some kind of guy that owns of De La Hoya's music recordings or something.

It was a pretty compeitive fight and all,but I had Floyd winning it clearly with clean effective punching.Throughtout the twelve rounds,there was a few good,hard shots landed by Oscar.But most of the time I thought he just rushed Floyd,and hit him while he was being held.The more telling blows were landed by Floyd IMO.His defense was also on top form.He rolled with a lot of Oscar's flurries.

If this is towards me,

Im a fan of boxing,

Seriously there is no way i can see even 115-113 mayweather,

116-112 and above i can accept,

Scoring, bad scoring is a big problem in boxing, im not sure some people in here can score a fight,

You dont give rounds to a guy for not landing shots, wether he is agressive or not, especially when he is getting caught with clean counters.

I still can't get over this dude from yesterday, he had it 116-114 de la hoya,

What was this guy watching?

[The Troll]

being the more accurate puncher is sort of negated when your the much the weaker the puncher. And if your going to say all of De La Hoya offense in the aspect of pressuring Mayweather was totally inefectual that is just ascinine, he was clearly getting hurting Mayweather at times.

I also don't ever recall De La Hoya being being hurt by any of Mayweather's offense let alone nearly dropped.

How is this guy allowed to pick up a pen and write?

One of the most biased articles i have seen,

Seriously, whats up with the Schools in the US?

Do they teach maths over there or what?

114-114, LMAO, i bet his guide dog had it 117-111 for mayweather.

Your opinion, but I also had the fight a draw. I remember the days when effective aggresion moving your opponent backwards and landing the harder shots actually won rounds. Floyd fought a good fight especially in the latter rounds but outside of the 1st round he lost all thru the 6th and he lost the lost 12th. But I have to admit its time for him to retire because I am tired of watching his style at this weight. He is too small and scared to stand and throw punches at this weight class and I am not a fan of his big mouth and BS statements. This fight definitely closes the door on the possibility that he could ever become the GOAT and for that matter if he retires he will be far below the likes of Duran, Leonard etc. Fighters with heart and far superior skills! But dont take down your posters just yet Technical, maybe his balls will drop and he will go back down and fight his mandatory...

I havn't sat down and scored this fight yet, but I think Lederman had Mayweather winning the fight by like 3 points and I clearly thought De La Hoya some early rounds that Lederman gave to Mayweather.

Much the weaker puncher?

bro watch round 5, de la hoya had him on the ropes and got caught with a vicious counter left, his legs buckled then he pull himself up again, how could you miss that?

Round 12 straight right buckled his legs again, he almost fell there too.

This might be the first sensible post I've read on this subject all day.
