Mayweather Split Decisions ODLH

[pasawayako]

After round 9 i have dela hoya ahead of 6 to 3 and i was very shock that won the fight even floyd own father admitted that dela hoya won.

[Russian Crushin]

I thought the fight was ok, sure it didn't live up to the hype but it was decent fight. I have seen far worse fights.

Thats because you were hyped and really wanted to see it.

Look at it this way, if you saw that fight on ESPN with 2 no names, what would you think

[Pacquiao'd]

agree. i give 3 rounds to DLH. 4 would be pushing it

of course you did. You had mike up 6-3 over buster douglass as well.

Yeah then i might probably say fück it and switch channel.

You would have switched the channel after watching a guy running backwards and landing like 1 clean punch per round.

[Zerwas1]

Everybody with a sense had it around 116-112 but they told the judges to make it a sd, so they got the opportunity to make even more money with a rematch.
I even believe Floyd didn't engage too much to make it competetive.

[Heru]

I dont think any number of rounds = competitive, infact its non-nonsensical to suggest it does, ive seen guys lose nearly every round, but watching the fight itself, would make you think it was a very competitive fight, even though they might still lose a clear decision.


Mayweather vs Dela Hoya


Round 1 Mayweather

DLH was inactive and Mayweather landed jabs and a sneaked a few
hooks around the guard.

Round 2 DLH

DLH countered well in combination and landed the upjab a couple of times

Round 3 Mayweather

Close round. DLH started well but faded and Mayweather took control again
down the stretch. DLH caught some counter right hands in this round to

Round 4 DLH

DLH did well early and mid round whilst Mayweather missed many
of his shots. DLH threw a big flurry and pinned Mayweather on the ropes and ****** away at his body
but he was not that effecttive the way he was early/mid round, Mayweather came back a little down
the stretch but DLH landed the cleaner more effective punches in this round imo.

Round 5 Mayweather

Good round for Floyd, he hit Oscar with clean counters throughout the round and tagged him with a shot
when DLH's was pressing him on the ropes that dipped Oscar's legs momentarily.
Mayweather was more aggresive toward the end whilst DLH fell into that robot stalking mode being
inactive.

Round 6 DLH

Mayweather was winning this but Oscar came back toward the end and possibly stole it. DLH landed
his best shots of the fight, a good right hand.

Round 7 Mayweather
Not much happened in this round but i felt Mayweather landed the cleaner more effective shots

Round 8 Mayweather

DLH started well but he faded and let Mayweather dictate the pace and come back with the cleaner shots.
DLH was to inactive to take this round imo.

Round 9 Mayweather

DLH threw a load of shots that were either slipped or missed. Mayweather is landing the clean punches
whilst DLH in too inactive.

Round 10 Mayweather (clear)

DLH inactive. Mayweather landed the cleaner shots and threw more, that simple

Round 11 Mayweather

Mayweather controlled the round by landing cleaner and being more active, DLH was inactive but came
to life right at the end of the round and landed his best punch in a few rounds a hard right hand but not
enough to take the round imo

Round 12 DLH
I felt Mayweather was winning it but DLH's aggresiveness down the stretch took the round he actually
nailed Mayweather good right at the end of the round.




Mayweather took advantage of DLH's aged reflexes and robotic style imo. Years ago Mosley took advantage
of DLH's robotic style and beat him by using movement and speed, well Mayweather did the same imo, only
this DLH was past his best and Mayweather only needed single shots to dominate the fight whilst Shane
needed combinations to dominate the prime DLH.


DLH did not use the jab as much as i thought he did the first time i watched it, that said DLH did
land the jab when he threw it and there was no reason why he stopped throwing it. Mayweather was not
countering over the jab he was throwing the half hook/right hand round the side of DLH's glove when
he had his hands up, so i dont understand why DLH stopped throwing it.


DLH did okay early on but he seemed to fall asleep and into that robot stalker mode where he stops punching.
Mayweather is criticzed for not throwing enough but in this fight i felt it was DLH who was not doing
enough down the stretch. DLH threw a lot in flurries early on but as the fight wore on he fell into
that stalking mode of not punching as i described, and even though Mayweather was not doing a lot
in terms of throwing punches in bunches, he was landing more of his shots and throwing them over the
coarse of 3 min not throwing flurries/spurts and then switching off for the rest of the round, he also
dictated the pace for the most part.

I felt Mayweather won the fight clearly tbh.

Competitive rounds in a lopsided fight does not equal a competitive fight. Ex. Sergio Martinez vs. Kermit Cintron where Kermit would keep the rounds close, but clearly lost in a non competitive fight. De La Hoya-Mayweather is a fight where a very partisan crowd was on hand and can sway any judge's scorecard.

WOOW 1 clean punch per round, brilliant.

And reread the bolded part.....really?

That's 1 more than De La Hoya... True story.

Look up what ring generalship is, then reread the bolded.

[apokalips]

I had Mayweather winning 8-4, although when you throw so few punches in each individual round, its not surprising when its seen as a closer fight, particularly when the opponent is coming foward the whole fight, not that i agree with that type of scoring, but thats just the way it seems to be.

I semi watched it again recently and I'm sure there were rounds where Floyd outthrew DLH so even that shouldn't have mattered.

Clear win for Mayweather, but that decision made me believe that he could get robbed if he was fighting a popular enough guy unless he totally dominates them like he did Mosley. So I think Pacquiao should just aim to try and look busy if he is not having any actual joy against Mayweather and he may win a decision.
