In De La Hoya's fight against Trinidad, he was clearly taking Trinidad to school, giving him a boxing lesson.Outboxing him, and giving him a real good beating. Even his trainers were so convinced of his performance, they told him he had the fight won.
Come the 10th, 11th and 12th round, and Oscar is content dancing around the ring, letting Trinidad chase him and beating him to the punch in all 3 rounds, in the end giving Trinidad the victory.

Oscar is winning the earlier rounds, but later on abandons his jab, and in the end gives the fight away in a very very close fight.
Whats with Oscar's tendency to give fights away? Does he have trouble putting his opponents away.
That would have been 2 fights he could have EASILY won that could have catapulted his status into an ATG, and proved to everyone how elite a fighter he could have been.
