Same as DLHs swollen eye and and nose,
yes and the KD sweet Pea gave him even that out. That point deduction rule was ****** by the way.Comment

You're right about the rule but it is what it is. I thought it was a close fight. Pea pulled a Clottey in that fight in the rounds that he lost.Comment

i'm a huge Sweet Pea fan, but no way the judges can give him that fight.
You CANT win a fight not throwing punches and being defensive. He didnt do anything offensively. As pretty as his defense was, Hoya was chasing him everywhere. Without Hoya, there is no fight.Comment

That's funny because he landed more and landed more efficiently. I guess the judges should reward the other guy for throwing more missed punches.Comment

Just my two cents (and I'm sure plenty will disagree)...
but this isn't even close. It should be DLH-Whitaker. DLH-Whitaker wasn't really all that close of a fight. DLH got knocked down (not hard, but a knockdown is a knockdown regardless of what Jim Lampley says) and generally made to look lost in the ring for at least 9 rounds; but I feel like it was something like 10-2 Whitaker plus the knockdown.
In DLH-Trinidad, DLH looked light years better than he did against Whitaker for eight rounds (maybe losing one) and then clearly lost the last four. Either way the winner probably should have been clear cut, but DLH-WHitaker should have been one-sided whereas DLH-Trinidad should have been 7-5 (or maybe 8-4) DLH.
Then look at what the scores actually read.
DLH-Trinidad scores were: 7-5 Trinidad, 6-5-1 Trinidad and 6-6
DLH-Whitaker scores were: 8-4 DLH, 9-3 DLH (twice)
So the close fight was scored close, but just the wrong way. And the one-sided fight was scored one-sided the wrong way. To me it's easy to say DLH-Whitaker was the wrong one.
That said, I HIGHLY DOUBT very many of you actually watched both fights when they happened and so many of you will respond with revisionist history based on stuff DLH's biggest cheerleader Jim Lampley has said subsequently.Comment
