De La Hoya vs. Trinidad Revelations

[JDezi4]

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

it reminds me alot of manny-jmm 3,,,

This is actually the opposite case... Manny won the early rounds (first 3 give or take) than JMM took over after that (for the most part)

The whole JMM took his foot off the gas in the 12th round thing was HBO non-sense that people ran with

Not unlike the whole "Oscar's corner told him not to engage" thing...

Seen it a couple of times through the years. Oscar schooled Tito all the times. I just can't see how Tito would of won that fight.

like i said in the other thread. ODH shut Trnidad down in the championship rounds, beauyful boxing exibition, the way he moved his feet around the ring was a brilliant showcase of the sweet science, Trinidad couldn't get off all day. Easy work for Oscar, made him look like he didn't belong there.

The best fight of Oscar's career. Its one of my favorite bouts to watch, an absolute masterful performance. Say what you want about Oscar fading in the end but if those inept judges scored rounds earlier in the fight that Oscar dominated for Tito then whose to say they wouldnt have given those rounds to Tito anyways?

[Spray_resistant]

I suppose I could watch this again but the last time a scored it a couple years ago I came up with a draw, Oscar was doing very well but he gave it away by yes running in the championship rounds.

[JmH Reborn]

I scored the fight a draw both times I saw it

[AntonTheMeh]

the problem with watching this fight with the sound on is, if oscar broke wind, the audience would lose their collective ****. while even with giving away the last few rounds, i think oscar did enough to win the fight. of course, when you end a fight like that, you really don't deserve to win it. i would have scored it a draw out of spite for such *****assness from oscar, but tito didn't do enough to win.

shoulda been a draw and their should have been a rematch.

His trainer Gill Glancy told Oscar he had the fight won in the tenth round and to just
stay away from Trinidad for the last two rounds.I believe Oscar fired him after the fight.
I love Trinidad but he lost the fight..That was a world championship fight and the
judges punished Delahoya for running the last two rounds.I will say this from my
observation...Delahoya would throw many flurries of punches at Trinidad but only
one or two would land..it was an illusion..Delahoya was getting credit for punches
he wasn't actually landing..the punches were short by about an inch or two..look
closely..

totally. that's why when i rewatched it, i watched it with the sound off.

tito should have been putting money in the bank with body shots early, and he would have ended it like chavez vs taylor.

Alright, just rewatched the first 6 rounds. Oscar has been on his bike and peddling from round 1. Everytime Oscar throws his right and Tito blocks it, Jim says that it lands. After 6 rounds its clear that hes in favor of Oscar to win. Tito lands solid shots but doesnt get the screams like Oscar gets when he throws but doesnt connect. Reminds me of the Manny/Bradley fight. After 6 i have it 3-3. Will finish it later tonight.
