I just want to ask...what skill did Oscar show in that fight?
He showed that he's got a lotta heart, and can come up big when he needs to. And that's about it. I like Oscar a lot, I would even say I'm an Oscar fan.
But he didn't do ANYTHING to Ike with the exception of the knockdown in the 6th, and the 12th round.
Oscar lost 8 or 9 rounds in that fight, but doing nothing. It was basically a jab fest in which Ike possessed the superior jab. Oscar did NOTHING, there was hardly any skill involved.
Quartey and De La Hoya showed wonderful standing and posing skills for 10 rounds.
