De La Hoya vs. Trinidad Revelations

[-PBP-]

Oscar gave away the last 4 rounds. So in order to win the fight, he needed to win 7 out of the first 8 rounds to the point where there is no way possible to score if for Trinidad. I thought he did, but I wouldn't call it a robbery.

But there was some suspect **** going on particularly on Jerry Roth's scorecard and another judge that gave Oscar the 12th.

this decision was way worse than Pac vs Bradley.

I think they're on par. Gave Bradley barely 4 rounds too, how he got the decision was just as crazy, maybe worse considering Pac kept the pressure up for all 12 rounds.

I've only watched it once, live, and i remember Oscar was winning the fight but blew the last several rounds coasting, so no sympathy from me. Close fight though, but no robbery.


No comparison with the Mani-Bradley fight, that was a **** turpin robbery.

I thought Oscar De La Hoya won this fight 8 rounds to 4 but when he ran in the last 3 rounds. He didn't deserve to win this fight at least a draw would have been the better out come.

I hate how people say he didn't win the fight for the last 3 rounds..he clearly won the first 8 rounds..and it wasn't as though he wasnt throwing punches in the 9-11th rounds.. he still landed like 26 punches in the 10th round. In no way was that fight a win for Trinidad, it's funny because the same people that act like Floyd never "runs" are the ones saying Oscar "ran" it's called boxing smart, as long as he is still landing punches it is not running.

close fight,,, oscar started fast, but tito won the late rounds as oscar disengaged,,,

I remember watching this at my house with quite a few people. I had little mickey mouse bets, probably totaling around 50-75 dollars.

On Tito.

I was starting to pay up when the scorecards were called.

I almost felt bad enough to not collect.

But not that bad.

when people say hoya ran the last 4 rounds so i guess baldomir beat mayweather because he ran for 12 rounds

[Joe Grizzley]

Seen it several times and Hoya wins every time. Boxing lesson.

The difference is Mayweather threw punches and landed more punches in every round.

Oscar literally did nothing but run in those last 4 rounds. Barely threw any punches and was outlanded.

Not really comparable, to be honest.
