This Guy thinks DLH was Robbed Against Mayweather

[squealpiggy]

im TELLING you man watch that fight in slow mo.
youll struggle to give oscar 3 rounds.

Call me old fashioned but I watched the fight in normal speed twice, and both times I got the same score, De La Hoya ahead by a round with four questionable rounds that could easily have gone either way and one even. As I have said before a close fight like this could easily have gone the other way or been a draw and it's ****** to claim a robbery.

And for the record while Floyd's punches were cleaner, Oscars were more effective (they caused damage, they backed Mayweather up, they took him out of his rhythm) so with the number one method of scoring a round both fighters cancelled each other out. De La Hoya wins in ring generalship. He fought at his chosen pace. De La Hoya was also clearly the aggressor which counts big. In some rounds it was effective and in some rounds it wasn't, and when it wasn't Mayweather won the round. And the final aspect is defense, which both men displayed to a high degree, De La Hoya by catching Mayweather's punches on his gloves, Floyd by blocking and ducking.

Easily could have been a draw, esily could have been a close win for either fighter, and in my opinion to claim that one guy or the other dominated is seeing things through fandom tinted glasses.

also.


D) stop counting using an abacus

E) Have those fingers youve lost sown back on your hand, it doesnt work if you count with 4 fingers, unless your one of the simpsons.

Floyd won hands down. When it comes to boxing and able to score a fight some got it some don't you my friend don't have it. Oscar was the agressor but wasn't effective so that cancels out your arguement. Floyd landed the cleaner shots and his shots seem to have more of an affect than oscar's

I disagree with your view of ring generalship. I though both guys fought the style that the set out to fight. De La Hoya was pressing and throwing a lot of punches while Floyd was circling and countering. DLH probably would've liked to be more effective and Floyd probably would've liked to land more punches. But because of their styles they both pretty much fought exactly how they wanted. I wouldn't say either of them won in ring generalship.

Oscars punches did NO damage at all. His agression was not effective at all, he landed a small percent of his punches compared to Floyd landing almost 50% of his shots. Floyd's defense was great while Oscar was getting consistantly drilled with straight right hands. Floyds punches were also obviously and consistantly, much cleaner.
This fight was not close folks.
Not at all

Floyd landed more punches than Oscar.
ALOT more punches than Oscar.
Not only that, but he landed them at a higher percentage, i.e., his agression was much more effective.

[Super Cartel]

Yeh im always with what De La Hoya said that if he didnt press the fight there would be no fight at all...

[msagrain]

i think delahoya won aswelll

I think maybe you mis-interpreted what I was saying. I was saying that Floyd probably would've wanted to land more punches than he did, so that the rounds would've been more clearly his (and no dispute from DLH fans). It was not a comparison to what Oscar landed at all.

It's funny how the people that think DLH won claim that he did so by landing the bigger shots. These are also the same people that Castillo winning his first fight with Mayweather based purely on the CompuBox stats when Mayweather was the one landing the cleaner shots. Their scoring standards change to fit their bias agenda...
