Ok your a ****. So wtf if he was the champion? He shouldn't of been anyway after being inactive for a year and what difference does that make in the way you score a fight! **** off

This is one thing about watching it on tv: it is ahrd to see which shots were picked. The announcers often said DLH was picking PBF punches, though, especially in the earlier rounds.
I watched the fight again on the computer, having watched Saturday night at a sports bar with 400 people roaring and clapping. I think either 1,3,or 9 could have gone to Oscar. I had it 2,4,6,8,12 for DLH. Now I have it 2,3,4,6,8 and maybe1 and 9 for DLH...but not 12. In 1 and 9 DLH was pursuing and PBF was just skipping and countering. DLH just got tired atfter rd. 9. So, for DLh at best a draw, but not based on his boxing offense as much as his pursuit of PBF, flurrying and his defense. PBF overall the best fighter.

How can you say PBF contolled the fight when he just skipped around like he usually does? You cannot control a fight without a strategy. DLH obviously had a strategy and pursuing/herding PBF toward the ropes was part of it. Like DLH said, without his pursuit there is no fight. When DLH finally tired, and PBF stopped skipping, in the rounds, yeah he controlled the fight. But not before the 9th.

I thought it was a draw, I think a rematch would be even better with Oscar being fight fit

Both fighters used a strategy and used it well. It was obvious that DLH was going to stalk Floyd and try to force him into the ropes to land power shots. He did exactly that. Floyd was going to let DLH punch himself out in the early rounds while blocking his punches and come on strong in the later rounds. He did exactly that. Niether fighter "controlled" the fight because they both did exactly what they wanted.

Well it depends on how you define "controlled the fight." If you mean who was the aggressor then DLH clearly controlled the fight. On the other hand I define "control the fight" as fighting at a pace and in a manner conducive to that fighter's style. If DLH was hoping to make this a fight where Mayweather clearly had to work most of every round then I think Mayweather controlled a good portion of the fight. Mayweather fought at mostly a slow and measured pace (like he likes). Other than rounds 2 and 7 I don't think DLH really controlled the pace of the fight. While DLH surely won other rounds he definitely didn't "control" them. By this standard I would say Mayweather controlled the fight,

This would have been a TON more controversial if Oscar got the win. Im so glad that didnt happen...Would have been horrible.

it was a pretty close fight. Floyd won.
seems when a fight is close, the one who didnt got the nod is 'robbed'. go figure. doesnt matter, glad it turned out to be close and not one-sided.

YALL CAN"T SEE!!! Oscar blocked some shots but I saw a lot of jabs land to the body and face and lot of counter hooks landing as well. After rd 8, Floyd was clearly landing and landing flush. I think yall need a pause or slow motion or something.

thank you, i've watched the fight over 10 times now, and a lot of rounds in slow motion. i can honestly guarantee you all that floyd mayweather won the fight clearly and decisively. i watched every round in slow motion and it was boring to death, but i watched them all. oscar won rounds 2, 7, 8, and maybe 12, but that was a tossup to me also because they were back and forth until the final seconds when oscar landed better shots. floyd won round 1, 3, 5(obvious), 6, 9, 10, 11(obvious) and maybe 12, but that is again a tossup. i actually watched the fight in depth in slow motion a lot of times, and i promise you all that the decison should have been unanimous. the rounds that oscar won like rounds 7 and 8, floyd landed at a higher percentage but oscar was much more aggressive and when oscar finally outlanded floyd, floyd was only a punch or 2 behind oscar, i guarantee you all, floyd won this fight and it should have been unanimous, but oh well.

The key is clean effective punching. Throughout the fight Floyd landed the cleaner punches, De La Hoya landed the more effective punches.

oscar didn't land the more effective punches, because i don't feel he hurt mayweather. actually, i feel floyd hurt oscar and he even staggered him with the cleaner, more effective punchers and his punches were clearer also(power punches).
