“Fighting Words” – Oscar De La Hoya: The World Awaits… Again

[Migs]

I'm seeing a De La Hoya-Cotto clash. I think Oscar does it for his own financial gain and for the interest of boxing. He knows it's only going to help boxing out to make this fight happen, especially if he loses to Cotto. Either way it's a win-win situation for him because I garauntee he squeezes GBP into a Mayweather-Cotto showdown and banks. While he may not be as sharp in the ring as he used to be, he's dead on when it comes to business.

actually i'm not a real dlh fan, so it's not the fanboy in me, that's just how i called it. i did'nt see mayweather do anything that great that night, and vice versus. i did see mayweather get alot of points from hitting dlh's gloves.

It's obvious you don't know how to score a fight very well. The fight wasn't even that close, 8-4 is fine and 7-5 is pushing it a bit. May didn't even leave second gear, I mean the motha****a took rounds off. Who takes rounds off in the biggest fight of your life?

Mayweather - DLH was a very close fight.

DLH has only ever lost in close fights to p4p #1 fighters. You guys need to show some respect. He's going to come back strong this year.

There are a few rounds he was thoroughly dominated in. When your guy gets dominated, don't look at it as taking rounds off. In the second for instance, Mayweather was helpless. He adjusted after the round, but during it he was helpless.

How did you score this fight? Because in my eyes you have a good reputation of scoring fights, just wondering how many rounds you gave Oscar?

There is no way he won more than 4 rounds in that fight, NO WAY, even my friends who were watching the fight with me scored it 116-112 for May, one of them 117-111 but I thought he gave the close round to May.

He did that in the 9th round against Hatton, and we all know what happened then in the 10th. Talk about taking the pis LOL.

I thought he clearly won four rounds and as an old Oscar fan I was interesting in being charitable with a fifth.

But the rounds he won he did win well, which is why I call it a close fight. It's possible for a fight to be both close and have a clear winner.

Yes but Floyd winning 116-112 at 154 lbs/smaller ring/ gloves using by DLH and other things...oscar had like a 20lb advantage fightnight

All that's true. You can't hold Oscar's weight advatage much against him as he made the contracted weight for the weigh-in. The story is he gave Mayweather his closest fight in five years. Oscar lost a close fight to today's best fighter. Does that mean he'll lose to anyone else? Would Cotto have done better against May if they had fought last year?
