Sweet Pea-DLH or DLH-Tito: Bigger Robbery?

[Rabbit ♠]

What about Whitaker vs Chavez? That was a robbery. As far as those two fights def Tito vs DLH...

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.

What are you talking about? De la Hoya wasn't chasing him. Sweet Pea doesn't run. Look, just because a fighter can't hit his opponent doesn't mean the opponent ran. It's called moving your head and torso. De la Hoya just wasn't good at hitting a moving target. MOST fighters these days aren't. That's why so many defensive fighters do well.

Instead, of fans today complaining about good defense MAYBE we should start demanding better offense. For example, I'm no Pacquiao fan at all, but he's one of the VERY FEW fighters today who can hit a moving target. It's a virtually lost art and probably the main reason "boring" defensive fighters do so well in this day and age.

thank you , at least there is someone on here with knowledge putting everything else aside, that's exaclty what happened, plus whitaker had a point deduction as well which did not help at all...

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.

exactly...

and like Sweet Pea said(as well as DLH pre fight)...hes the older guy heading for retirement..and DLH is the new "it" fighter..

but you really should have Chavez/Sweet Pea up here too!

DLH didn't land. That's not Whitaker's fault. You cant win a fight just because you're throwing a lot of punches and missing. Go back and look at DLH's career. Anytime he ever fought anyone with some movement he couldn't land. BUT the "hardcore fans" don't want to admit that. It's always someone else's fault that Oscar couldn't land punches against good defensive fighters.

Be honest, DLH looked way better against Trinidad than he did against Whitaker. Against Trinidad his offense and defense were fluid. His combinations were smooth and accurate. He looked slick. Against Whitaker, he was frustrated and lost. He got knocked down from a clean counter. He couldn't get punches off. He was hesitant and robotic.

Add it all together man; he got robbed against Trinidad and Whitaker got robbed against him.

sweetpea vs hoya was never a robbery............

[Method Checker]

DLH-Trinidad.

Even though DLH basically gave the last few rounds away, I still had him winning by a good amount.

I don't think Whitaker-DLH was a robbery, though. It was a pretty close fight but I thought Whitaker deserved it.

Did you watch the fight you punk ass? Sweet pea landed more.

Does calling me a punk ass make you feel tough? Calm your ***g0t emotions down youngin. Of course I watched the fight.

You cant fight defensively and throw nothing but feather fisted jabs that cant even hurt a child and get a win. This is boxing, and in boxing your expected to try and hurt your opponent.

Sweet Pea fought a pretty fight, but he didn't fight to win.

If Floyd wanted to land 4 Jabs a round and not get hit for the entire fight, he could do it vs anyone. It's a lot easier to not get hit when your not doing **** offensively.

DLH-Tito was not a robbery... Whitaker-Oscar I had Whitaker clearly winning...

DLH-Tito was not a robbery... Whitaker-Oscar I had Whitaker clearly winning...

I agree with both points.
