Trinidad vs De La Hoya was a let down

[Jc8804]

Oscar is always criticizing Floyd vs Pacquiao as being disappointing and hurting the sport because so many people tuned in and were let down.

But when De La Hoya had his superfight with Tito he dropped the ball himself. It was supposed to be a war between all-time greats and a chance for boxing to make a big splash, but instead millions of fans were left with a bad taste in their mouth that night.

Kind of an interesting parallel.

I disagree . Oscar boxed titos ears off clearly .thats was a classic schooling . He busted a mayweather for the last 3 rounds with the fight in the bag


oscar was robbed. It was titos job to pressure and sell out and ko oscar. Oscar boxed beautifully anf the judges screwed him. Its hit and dont be hit

shame dlh wasnt a one dimensional slob hoping a single hay maker would land. also a shame dlh wasnt a punching bag like most of titos opponents.

ive been searching for years to find a highlight clip of tito owning dlh (dlh can be found schooling tito in that mega highlight clip).

the punch stats alone should make it clear who won this fight.

''those last rds, doe !!!!''

what exactly did tito do in those rds ?!?!? chase and hunt ? bfd. had all fight to do work and was owned.

''not giving dude a chance to land a 1 in a million hail mary isnt right, doe ! dlh should have stood there and let tito tee of on him !!!''


........delusional fan bases

Again, for the record, I do think Oscar deserved to get the decision in that fight. He did box very well for the majority of the rounds.

But a lot of viewers felt let down by this "superfight." That's all I'm saying.

well theirs a thing called "you live and you learn"

but I expect lil boys who aint never really lived life to know nothing about that. Dudes know nothing but to go to work and head home and hope they get some pussy lmfao.

I remember at the time, I really hated Oscar and was becoming more of a Tito fan after watching him beat up Whitaker. My whole family is Mexican and we were all rooting for Tito to win. Oscar was definitely whooping his ass but it was clear to anyone he didn't do **** and gave away the last three or four rounds. Considering that tito may have won a couple of the first 8 rounds, I agreed with Letterman's score which was a draw.

When the decision was announced I was happy to see Oscar lose and in a way tried to justify it. But ultimately, I always knew in my heart that it was bull****. If Oscar would have been able to keep it up for the championship rounds we would all look back at this fight as being his best performance and greatest victory. He seemed to have problems with stamina since that fight onward.
