    I've only seen the fight once and that was watching it live but I thought Floyd looked great. He won the fight with his movement and he landed all the cleaner and IMO most of the harder shots. Mayweather always fights intelligently and thats what he did with Oscar. I can't see how anyway could give DLH anymore than 4 rounds- and that's with giving Oscar the 12th.

      this is funny because i made those numbers up to get a point across. there was a round where there was no way that floyd landed 20 someodd punches to single digit numbers for oscar yet they were represented that way.

        Ok everyones tired of it now and Corrales has just died so this will be the last i say on the fight for a while until the throwbacks. The sport is called BOXING not fighting not brawling, i have respect for fighters who win fights that way but it aint the aim of the game. This **** is chess and not connect four and as for that wanker with Oscar in his avator im new to this site but not new to boxing, i know how to score a ****ing fight unlike some of you nuthugging fanboys.

          Pretty much how I saw it. There wasn't more than 2 rounds in this fight. I had it 115-113 to DLH but can fully understand people having it as a draw or the same score in favour of Floyd, depending on who you gave the close rounds to.

          Some of the fanboy scorecards that I've seen on here are ridiculous. These people should stop watching the sport right now, they clearly don't know wtf they're looking at.

I trying my hardest to look for Floyd's countershots and all i saw was Oscar picking off many of Floyd's punches from rounds 1 thru 8. Neither fighter really landed solid shots up until that point,but Oscar was the aggressor and landed some body shots along the ropes .so you have to give him some of those close rounds. Floyd was not counterpunching as well as some think. Remember im just talking about the 1st 8 rounds.

          I thought Oscar won rounds 2 ,3 ,4 ,6 ,8 with rounds 9 and 12 a tossup

          Floyd - Rounds - 1 ,5 ,10 ,11 with rounds 9 and 12 a tossup

          What Floyd did in rounds 10 and 11 ,that was not happening from round 1 thru 8. Oscar was picking off a lot of his punches,and Floyd also was not as aggressive those eariler rounds. Oscar wins this fight with ease had he jabbed more in rounds 9 ,10 ,11. Even if it was just 2 of those rounds,and he wins a decision.

            I have no problem with Floyd winning because i think oscar blew the fight with his jab. I just had a problem with Max Kellerman and ppl saying Floyd won 9 rounds to 3 and won it easy and those punch stats. The fight was much closer then that.

              Great: intensity considerably above the normal or average. very large and imposing.

              You might want to reconsider you're choice of words.

              More like; he was doing enough to win.

                Hey, Floyd has a blueprint to success, and it has worked 38 times people. End of story.

                Although, I do admit that Floyd could do more offensively (even though he still outlanded Oscar by a lot) to make the fight more interesting. There were two instances in the fight where he actually stood in with Oscar and traded for a bit, and he got the best of those exchanges, so I wonder why he couldn't have done it more. But the answer is, he wanted to win. Better safe than sorry.

                If there was an easier way to get by in your job on a day to day basis, wouldn't you do it? Floyd does it the only way he knows how, and he's never lost. Why change?

                  If you want to be the greatest fighter of all time, you have to do a little more than what he did. If was a great as he said he was he would have made Oscar look silly and a mess of him. Like the way Winky wiped out Tito. But he didn't and there's still a question mark about a lot of Floyd's punches being blocked. Floyd didn't deliver on his word.
                  This isn't a DLH defense at all, I just don't think Floyd is as Great as many make out.

                    making your opponent miss, on its own, does not win you a boxing match... while he was able to avoid a lot of oscar's punches, he didn't throw enough leather to win convincingly as many of you claim...

                      May 5th is more about what OSCAR DIDN'T DO than what FLOYD DID DO.
