It Was Oscar's Fault For Boring Fight!

[Sin City]

So its all Oscar's fault because you should expect Floyd to be boring??

[borikua]

Agreed. That's why I want to see Floyd against someone like Hatton, Cotto, or even Mosley. They would make him fight...

The fight is over period. I wish we would all put it behind us. De La Hoya tried to make the fight happen he applied pressure. He probably should have threw more. But don't blame DLH for a boring fight. It takes two to tango.

Your right the fight happened about 2 months ago and people are still talking about it. Floyd decisioned Oscar in a high speed chess type of boxing match. Most who have seen Floyd fight before knew that what happened was going to happen. At this point if your still talking **** about Floyd how he is a coward and runs then it's just hate.

it wasnt a boring fight imo.

[Kobe Bryant]

Who cares if it's boring. I enjoyed it myself wasn't bored at all.

[DLT]

I really enjoyed it too but I know Im in the minority, e****ally nowdays. If you dont fight like Pac or Cotto then Merchant and all the fans will diss you. Its not fair but it is reality. I could watch a boxing match all day

few boxing matches are boring.IMO and DLH-PBF wasnt boring......in fact i dont think ive ever seen DLH in a boring fight.....PBF was just boring against Baldomir.........DLH actually made this fight entertaining, if it were up to PBF this wouldve been Myaweather Baldomir 2

Really good post...

It still amazes me that, even with all the disadvantages that Floyd came into the fight with, he still won it.

Oscar should have lived up to his end of the bargain by punishing Floyd like he said he would, yet he showed Floyd a lot of respect in that ring, with
moments of flurries.

I'm sure Oscar won't want a rematch, simply because he probably thought to himself: "OK, I set the parameters to my advantage (Being the bigger man with the WBC belt and all), I worked my ass off in the gym, brought in Freddie who motivated the hell of me,
shoot, I even had Sugar Shane sparring with me...and I still lost? Umm, I don't think anyone wants to see rematch."

I found the fight to be a very entertaining chess match, although I didnt agree with the decision. We can of course thank Oscar only for that though.

PBF had Oscar finished physically and mentally in the late rounds, he had the reach advantage, and he proved he wasnt a fighter by showing zero aggression STILL, even after DLH stopped pressing in a meaningful way.

Im pretty sure Floyd has the only corner in boxing that doesnt say "throw combinations!" whenever the fight is getting stagnant or close.

[MindBat]

IMO, Floyd didn't even put on his best performance in that fight, and he still won.

Had he fought Oscar the way he fought Corrales (r.i.p.), it would've made for a much more exciting bout.
