    I remember watching the fight live and scrambled! Lol I was like 12 and didn't get to go to my uncles place. All I will say is that from listening to the commentators, da la Hoya was whooping thatass lol, and I was joyous but shocked that Tito was announced the winner. But watching it again a few years later i remember thinking Tito won the final rounds but I still felt Oscar should have won it. I am Rican and never biased, just a boxing fan.

      Honestly, no more then a draw at best for Tito or a close win for Oscar. He gave away the last three n I gave Tito three of the first 9. He barley won those while Oscar dominated the rds he won. Still gave away the fight n I'm glad he didn't get the decision. What he did was disgusting. Literally ran away from Tito like a b1tch.

            Tito is my fav fighter but there's no way he won that fight

            The fight itself was disappointing, just like almost every "superfight"

              That was boxing Masterpiece from Oscar....I believe he could have dropped and possibly stopped Tito had he not took his foot off the pedal, but whats done is done.

              I scored it 8-4 Oscar, as did all my Rican friends.

                I despise ODH. He won this fight but the last 4 rounds were inexcusable.

                  That's the way I remember it. I saw the fight when it first aired and haven't re-watched since. Always meant to, but never did. I didn't score, but I remember thinking three things just before the decision was announced: 1. Oscar should narrowly win; 2. A draw would be fair; 3. A Trinidad decision wouldn't shock me. As everyone knows, De La Hoya threw away the fight in the last few rounds by literally running. Oscar really didn't even have to engage all that much. It was a strategy that will always haunt him.
                  I thought Oscar won myself but it's not a robbery. Especially considering the last 4 rounds.

                  People act like he dominated the first 8 rounds
                  Just simply not true.

                  Then put on the track shoes for the championship rounds. "A masterpiece" apparently.

Out jabbed, out worked and out landed...how the hell did Tito win again? Every time I see the fight I can't give Tito more than 3 or 4 rounds and I like Tito, one of the best welterweights post Leonard/Hearns/Benitez but *** me, he should never have won that fight.
                    Me and you are about the same age..I think I was 12,anyway..I thought a more fair outcome would have been a draw tho..I thought Oscar won the first 6rds and Oscar just enough to lose the last 6rds..IMO a draw or a oscar win would have been the fair outcome..

                      The rounds that ODLH dominated were clear. The first three rounds he wasn't as fluid as for the 4th on. At the most I had it a draw but never had Tito winning that fight.
