Flashback: De La Hoya vs. Mosley II 9-13-03

[Lazy Liberal]

Oscar won 115-113 against steroid Shane Mosley.

why was oscar robbed????
if he was the main attraction, the bigger star
more marketable, hbo's biggest revenue generator
tell me exactly wut the benefit
in ANY PARTY involved in having shane mosley win...
or was it just simply a bad decision by the judges (no alterior motive)

[SmarterChild]

Anyone who scored the second fight for Mosley can't score for ****. I think even HBO had it 116-112 for Oscar

kinda like how one judge had oscar winning, 116 - 112 Floyd EASY!

I have only seen the fight once and I can clearly tell that Oscar won. Its funnie to say that Shane clearly won because his corner even thought he lost the fight, every time Shane went to his corner he looked like defeated he couldn't do anything, till the late rounds from 9-12 he picked it up, but no Shane did not win that fight.

i felt de la hoya won fairly easily

[Slotff]

Oscar won 8 or 9 rounds on my card, I haven't watched it in a while.

I remember thinking at the time that Oscar won the fight. I have to see it again. I remember one of the arguments being that Mosely looked better in person than Oscar did. Didnt a lot of press row score it for Mosely?

[GunStar]

Fans usually agrees with the HBO guys. Funny thing is that most of the press had it for Mosley. A week later Jim Lampley said 'we were the only few people who had Oscar winning the fight.

[-Swizzy-]

I haven't watched that fight since I saw it live but I remember thinking at the time that it should've been a draw just like the cotto-mosley fight. I would like to see that fight again if anyone knows where I could get it.

[The Troll]

I just watched De La Hoya vs. Mosley again the other day, the question I have is did Oscar De La Hoya get robbed(again) of a great win? Or did Mosley really land the better punches and deserve to have his hand raised? Were the HBO broadcasters so drunk with Oscarmania that they wern't watching the fight thoroughly enough? I know this has been disscussed in the past, but I want to know what people think now, sometimes opinions change with time...

If every fight he's in is so close that you feel it could go the either way you can't really complain if you dont get the descision in my opinion.
