I Just Rewatched Oscar-Quartey!!!

[savorduhflavor]

Just watched and scored it.

I had it wider than most: 115-112 Ike Quartey.

Through 9 I only gave Oscar the 3rd. I felt Ike fairly dominated the fight, there were too many rounds where Oscar did nothing but have a flurry or two.

115-112 Quartey.

DLH did way too little for most of the fight. Even less than Quartey.

If you go by rounds, and points, it HAS to go to QUARTEY. But I felt De La Hoya did DESERVE to win the fight after the 12th round rally.

I also thought Ike defo won the fight.

That was the 1st time Ive seen it since I watched it live but its even worst now then I remember back then. Back then I thought Ike clearly won but now it was a huge robbery. There is no way that Oscar won that fight. What made me upset is that Oscar had a huge 12th round or atleast the start to it and he won that clearly 10-8 but that didnt even matter because the 2 judges who had Oscar winning the fight, had him with the lead even coming into the 12th. What? I had him 4pts behind going into the 12th and at the least I would accept him trailing by 3 like Lederman but come on. I cant beleieve that people think a prime Oscar beats Floyd. He had skills but he just never was all the way there. He was always missing something.

Then the other thing that makes me mad was Foreman. Everytime I watch an old fight I get so sick of hearing his voice. Man Im glad that he's gone. I get it that everyone has there guys that they like and they pick a guy before each fight but atleast all the other commentators try to be a "little" open minded coming into a fight. Foreman was never liked that. He always had his guy and his theroy before the fight and once then fight started then he would try to stick with it and convince you the whole fight why he was right, even if the fight itself went completely opposite. He talked and bragged about Oscar that whole fight. Its just like he did with Tito when he fought Hopkins. I also think he says alot of things just to go against the grain.

Then it made me mad because before the 12th, Harold said that he had Ike up by 3 and Merchant said he had Ike up by 4 but George said that he has Oscar ahead easily. Some of the things he says during a fight are so dumb and obviously wrong, then Merchant calls him on it, and he still tries to make up some reason why he is right. The bottom line though is that it was no doubt a robbery and no that last round shouldnt have been 10-7 like some may say. He dropped Ike and lit him up on the ropes but for the 2nd half of the round he probably didnt land another punch and Ike was in total control. Who do you guys think won the fight?

Totally Agree!!!!!!!1

Nah, I scored it awhile ago. I caught some of the replay.

I wish they didn't put the date on the bottom of the screen.

So, if this was robbery for ODLH, what was his victory over Sturm conisdered?

[The Noose]

Has Oscar ever been in an exciting big fight???

I ****in cant stand the way he tries to win rounds with big flurries in the last 10 seconds.

He did the same against Whitaker and Trinidad.
