just scored de la hoya vs quartey

[Thread Stealer]

Hold on. A strong finish in a close fight shouldn't give you the win, but a weak finish in a close fight means you should lose? I'm confused.

Winning more rounds gives you the win. De La Hoya's poor finish against Tito wasn't enough for me to give the fight to Tito, just like DLH's good finish against Ike wasn't enough for me to give the fight to DLH in that bout.

The championship rounds are worth the same as any other two rounds.

Just watched it again, same score I have always had when I watch this fight. 113-112 for Quartey.

1 - ike
2 - ike
3 - oscar
4 - oscar
5 - ike
6 - ike (9-8)
7 - ike
8 - oscar
9 - ike
10 - oscar
11 - ike
12 - oscar (10-8)

Oscar was often hesitant and missed many punches when throwing in combination. I thought Ike landed the better punches throughout rounds 1-11 and controlled the fight up until that final round.

Not a robbery as it was a close fight, but the decision should have been awarded to Quartey in my opinion.

Ken Morita sucks. He had DLH winning by a couple points even before the 12th. He also had Douglas losing to Tyson before the 10th.

Ken Morita is a glorified shoe shine boy.

i dont remember my exact scorecard, but i had oscar winning the fight
the knockdown in the last, i think won it for him on my scorecard
very close fight though

[Davros?]

I thought Ike won it, at the time I was very annoyed with Oscar's interview after the fight Ike deserved a rematch and Oscar wouldn’t give him one. Ike shouldn’t have had so much inactivity it cost him imo.

Didn't Oscar land like 150 more punches than Tito?

Bumping this because I just rewatched it and had it 114-113 De La Hoya. Round 11 was the swing round...

Quartey looked pretty good, but got off to a slow start and a horrible end in where he pretty much gave away the fight by not throwing enough. The right hand Quartey landed in Round 9 has to be one of the sickest right hands I've ever seen. Don't know how Oscar took that.
