I got floyd 2 rounds to 1

basically just feeling each other out really Floyd is doing his typical land a shot and run Oscar is trying to figure out how to keep Floyd on the ropes or in a corner. He was effective in round 2 but has been on and off in the other 2

the location of the ring is dictating this thing if its by the ropes or in a corner Oscar gets the best of it if its in the center or the ring Floyd is getting the best of it.

Floyd wins in a split decision

Edit: this should of been unanimous

those last three rounds lost it for De La Hoya, his legs were lookin hella tired.

Orale Holmes · Post by **Orale Holmes** » Sun May 06, 2007 12:33 am

Mayweather won....but c'mon man. He is not...Lb X Lb the best...that shit was weak.

oh well.

Andvil · Post by **Andvil** » Sun May 06, 2007 12:33 am

like they were sayin, once De La Hoya stopped throwing his left, he was in trouble
he still looked WAY better than I thought he would in the 10th 11th and 12th

"If I didn't Press him there would have been no fight" - De La Hoya

Thats the fucking TRUTH!

"well, if you go by punching Oscar won. If you go by the point system...uh..uh Oscar Won" - Floyd Mayweather Sr

Haha which took him 10 minutes to say...haha...

but TRUTH again.

Jr.'s a bust. I can't wait him and Cotto or Judah, or Camarena, or Cordova, or Ortiz...ahaha Mayweather better stay retired.

If DLH didn't engage there would have been no fight, he's right with what he said. But, May did land the better, cleaner punches.

Still didn't impress me. He can retire and he'll never get the proper respect, just look at what Emmanuel Stewart said.

The whole shit between Sr. & Jr is great. Jr didn't pay his father 2M for this fight so the father just went on to say DLH won the fight if we went by scoring. I'm sure that'll fly over well at the next Mayweather BBQ.

de la hoya had too much respect for FM and that prevented him from throwing the hook. but the fight could have gone either way. i had a draw but if i had to choose a winner i would give the fight to oscar.

mayweather isnt as good as some of you think he is. he has speed. his boxing skills is ok, he has little power, he doesnt throw combinations. he has speed and in boxing that can make you look great. doesnt mean your a great boxer.

definitly not top 10 ten ever

How can you pick Oscar???? Very few of his punches landed cleanly. Mayweather destroyed Oscar in compubox. Only thing Oscar had going for him in this fight was crowd support. The crowd got riled up every time Oscar threw anything including when Oscar threw punches that were blocked by Floyd. Seriously Mayweather in boxing sense dominated this fight, but Oscar dominated in the common fans mind as he threw more punches but most were blocked. He landed like 20% for the match while Mayweather laned like 40% or so.

I wouldn't pick Oscar, however Compubox is pussy. When bitches cat fight they swing 100 times and land some shots, doesn't mean shit. Mayweather landed "cleaner" shots not anything that made a different. The guy has zero power or finesse. He is all speed, nothing more.

Trub320 · Post by **Trub320** » Sun May 06, 2007 1:12 am

fuck compubox numbers. im gonna watch this fight again right now.

floyd mayweather jr "if i was training oscar he would have been raising his hands tonight, he shoulda still been raising his hands tonight"

damn those comments by fmj that roger mayweather is the best trainer in the world must have really gotten too him.

So landing clean shots in a fight where someone doesn't get knocked out means nothing??? Sorry Oscar was out classed in this fight. It should have been a unanimous decision. Floyd did what he pleased through out the fight and that alone should lead people to see that he won. Its not about how hard your shots hit in a decision but rather how many you land and floyd landed more.

the 2+2 thread has a similar feel, the casual or non-boxing fans favoring DLH .. the rest saying Mayweather won

Orale Holmes · Post by **Orale Holmes** » Sun May 06, 2007 1:23 am

in any event. its not a good win for Mayweather. For any type of boxing fan...

He will get beat by a young up and comer...if he chooses to stay around.

Pound for Pound went out the window tonight....

mayweather wasnt even sure himself after the 10th round i believe if he was winning. he turned to his corner and asked if he was winning. you fake ass max kellermens need to stop pretending you know everything. "oh compubox said this so.." fuck outta here. hell if mayweather was throwing 100 punches a round and landing 50+ then i would say that was a dominating performance. but he was throwing 40 punches a round. all im saying hes not as good as he thinks he is.

lol@ compubox. Pitter Patter punches that hit mostly glove don't mean shit. I had Floyd winning by a point against a declining DLH in the last 3 rounds. DLH had it until the last 3, that killed him. PBF was pretty unimpressive though, I think he got exposed, the dude doesn't know how to engage at all.

absoluely right. de la hoya threw the fight away from rounds 9-11. who wants to see a rematch?

exactly my point if you understand boxing you know that Floyd undoubtedly won tonight. I dont like Floyd at all as a boxer but i still saw that duke won tonight. Also This was a good win for Floyd as he beat an Icon in the sport and did it in a convincing fashion. Yes he may not have appealed to the casual fan, but he won that fight undoubtedly and dictated the pace.

Yes hes is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is but he was OBVIOUSLY better than Oscar tonight. Also Binary if your talking about punches that caught mostly glove or elbow your talking about 75% of the punches that Oscar threw that got the crowd riled up. Floyd landed WAY more clean punches than Oscar. He was more efficient and consistent round for round than Oscar.

Orale Holmes · Post by **Orale Holmes** » Sun May 06, 2007 1:38 am

you guys are funny with that "casual fan" talk. Any of you guys score a boxing match before? Ever boxed? Coached? If not then you too are a casual fan.

Mayweather barely beat a tired De La Hoya.

He doesn't deserve any props.

DLH dictated the fight. PB countered the dictatorship.
