Final Prediction: "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya vs. "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather

I'm going to pick Floyd by Split Decision.

 

On the other hand, I am appalled that SRL thinks it's premature to call ODLH "great".

 

I'm going to go ahead and put Oscar on top, Oscar with the W.

 

Ok, that's it. I'm outta here! About to head to the bar, to meet the buddies, and see the last hour of buildup! :bears:


See you chumps after the fight!!!

 

Anybody nervous about their picks for this fight?

 

A little bit, Oscar is a live dog, but I'm confident in PBF.

 

me...but just because i think it will take DLH a bit longer to stop Mayweather...opcorn: but my dream said 3 round..then it's 3....:notallthere:

 

i think Floyd footwork will be the key

he'll move and potshot....as the fight progresses it will become more and more obvious that DLH has no legs left and hasn't for years ld:

This is what I fear to be honest. Oscar still has surprisingly quick hands and even reactions, but the biggest difference is footspeed. Oscar's feet have slowed for sure, and of course Floyd's footwork is one of his best assets.

 

Yeah I'm a little nervous. I really believe Floyd SHOULD win this fight and I think he will. But Oscar is live because of his size and edge in punching power. Could he possibly land a lucky shot?

bmb also picked a draw. opcorn:

 

yeah. I also predict a very high waistline on ODLH, PBF's mouth will move faster than his hands (amazingly), Floyd will cry at the end of the fight, and Floyd will talk to lampley at least once in the fight. ODLH will take some important rounds off. No knockdowns and two bad ring entrances. Manny Steward will talk stupid shit.

 

Mayweather by decision.

Don't underestimate Floyd's physical strength.

DLH's big chance is to time PBF when he lunges in behind a lead left hook or right hand with his chin in the air and smash him with a left hook - especially since he has that hookercut that can get under....then flurry and finish him off.

He can set that up with the jab....but PBF will be expecting that.

PBF won't look that small at all.

I think PBF pulls away down the stretch after a tactically competitive first 5-6 rounds where PBF may look like he's rocked here and there.

Mayweather by UD.

Peace.

DRAW: 1
Son of Payton

 

he is giving you the cold shoulder.

 

Whoever scored that fight for DLH should be shot

117-111 Mayweather

 

:bears: :bears: :bears:

 

amen.

I gave Oscar the 2, 6, 7

 

:: :: ::

 

Nice call. I have no problem with the decision. I originally gave Oscar the 12th which when I think about it was probably incorrect. Giving Floyd the last round puts him up by 2 on my card.

 

No. Way too much credit for rounds where Floyd either did nothing or had all of his punches blocked.

 

But you don't get the STANDARD...

When both fighters do nothing, it's the fighter who AVOIDS shots that wins the round. To them it's called ring generalship...:laughing:

 

He didn't get the memo.

 

I was hoping Floyd would have been more busy,

but.. it was still a dominating performance IMO. DLH really only landed like 2 clean punches the whole fight. For a 6 time champ.. that is terrible, Floyd is just on another level

 

:notallthere: go back to sleep

 

:clap:

 

I was one round off on 2 of them.

7-5, 8-4 for PBF. 1 round and a half on the other 7-5 Oscar.
