Was De La Hoya v. Whitaker really a robbery?

[UTEP]

No. Press scores favored Whitaker 14-11. Pretty even fight that could go either way.

There should have been a rematch, do you know if Whitaker pushed for one?

oscar eeked it............i wouldn't argue if anyone had it for pea (close fight)

He did. He purchased space on the front page of the LA times demanding one. lol

Oscar didn't need it though. Smart move business wise.

Damn, it was all downhill for Whitaker after that. He was past prime when he fought Oscar though.

Whitaker was a bad style for oscar (even a past prime version) it was all wrong.......i think oscar just hated every moment of being in the ring with him & made his mind up that he would never go towards him again.

Oscar wasn't giving him a rematch regardless I think.
