De La Hoya vs Trinidad...Oscar was schooling the crap out of Tito round after round then out of no where, Oscar decides not to fight back for 3 rounds...DLH clearly threw the fight.

Oscar might have pussed out, but I doubt he'd purposely plan to take a dive in the 9th.
People take dives early, they don't fight eight rounds then take the dive.
IMO, He still had an image to keep, and thought it would look less obvious if it came later in the fight. As dumb as it sounds for a man who many thought threw the fight, he still wanted to have some pride.
I've watched that punch over and over again and from my perspective it was nothing more then a glancing blow, it never really connected Bernard didn't even turn his punch over on that shot. It certainly was not a hard enough glancing blow to warant the reaction that Oscar put out.
Without a doubt... and the "Worst acting job by a leading Actor" award should have been given to Oscar for that one. The way he had the strength to get up on all fours and pound at the floor like a 4 year old having a temper tantrum just made it all that more disgusting.
i got smoked with a short left to the liver sparring this week and i was literally paralyzed for about five seconds.

Yeah right. What, Oscar was afraid of breaking his knuckles on BHop's head with all the punches he was landing? Or was he afraid one of BHop's gloves was going to fly off on one of his many misses and hit soomeone in the crowd?
