ROUND by ROUND: "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya vs. "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather

The total number of landed punches doesn't mean anything. What matters is which fighter outlands the other in most single rounds. If a fighter outlands the other 20-1 in first round, then goes on to lose 1-4 the last five, he loses by scores of 59-55 even though he outlands the other guy 25-21

 

I have no idea what Floyd "Predator" Mayweather Sr is saying.

 

His own dad thought he lost :laughing:

 

Nah. Sorry, bro. DLH did show good parrying...but not nearly as well as you are implying.

And it sounds like you are counting every DLH flurry to head and especially to BODY as landing, when many of them didn't. And when DLH would get countered clean in the middle or at the end of a partially blocked or non-landing flurry with a right hand or left hook or uppercut -- that counts big.

I can see 7-5...I can see someone scoring it that way for PBF.

BUt I cannot find 7 rounds for DLH....at all.

Peace.

 

Effective aggression?

Oscar landed at 21% and Floyd landed at 40 for the fight.

Floyd controlled 9 of the rounds. Oscar blocked shots?

You're a fucking lunatic

 

No...NO....FUCK A REMATCH!!! :nono:


Mayweather vs. MOSLEY should be next.....

 

That's because he DID!! Fuck boxing!

 

Of course, not all of de la hoya's flurries landed either, but it was generally oscar's punches where you would hear a thud, and oscar's jabs that would snap floyd's head and get his attention.

And of course, effective aggression, until the last 3 rounds oscar was controlling floyd.

 

yeah, but compubox is complete bullshit dude. It's an old man pressing a button. Normally they are drunk too

 

Larry taking parting shots at HBO? "was it worth it?" , "made up drama" ...etc.

 

Compubox is bullshit:notallthere:

 

I dunno. I thought DeLaHoya was getting shafted by Compubox. He looked to land more, and it looked pretty close. Floyd seemed to coast at times, and he spent most of the fight moving backwards.

It surprised me because it looked like the speed advantage was so great for Floyd that he could have hit DLH with three times as many punches as he did. Instead he stayed away. DeLaHoya pressed the action 80% of the time, and he did his best.

It was actually a bit frustrating at times. Floyd was like a Lamborghini that chose to stay in 2nd gear for a car race. Occasionally he went to third and then he would inexplicably go back down.

Floyd SHOULD have won very easily. He didn't. Maybe his hands were bothering him. When he opened up, he couldn't miss DeLaHoya, but then he'd stop and move backwards for extended lengths of time.

 

:: :bears:

 

Floyd ran like a bitch and landed one shot at a time. 3 rounds were close to score. Oscar threw more and chased his bitch ass around the ring. Just like I thought would happen :flip:

 

"What Mayweather and DLH did here tonight is light years ahead of anything in mix martial arts"(SKILLwise)....or something like that.......VERY TRUE..:bears:

 

Seriously, never listen to compubox. An old man pressing a button?

Even the commentators on the feed I was watching were saying the combubox numbers seemed like bullshit, and not what they were seeing.

 

And I think Oscar was getting credit for shit that wasn't landing. However Mayweather's landed punches were clear as day in the middle of the ring.

OSCAR is the one whose legs buckled twice. OSCAR is the one who was hesitant and looking amateurish the whole fight.

Floyd won clearly.

 

Exactly :bears:

 

Oscar threw more, now it's not bullshit :bears:

 

Yeah i think compubox..shitted on DLH..he landed more than 100+ punches......maybe because DLH had both his hands infront blocking DLH arms, but those punches by Oscar were still landing..NOT HARD..but they were making contact..

 

Coming forward is not "controlling"...especially when the opponent is deciding where the exchanges take place, scoring as he moves away laterally, and basically shutting down DLH's activity for long stretches except for when DLH elected to try to flurry against the ropes.

That thud? That often happens when a punch lands on a GLOVE....that is when the biggest thuds are heard.

You have to watch carefully....PBF often quickly snaps his head back or leans back slightly to avoid a punch.

DLH, WHEN he used his jab, did well...but I was banking on him being very erratic with it, and that's what happened. He certainly didn't use it enough to WIN 7 ROUNDS.

7-5 PBF? Ok. 7 rounds to DLH? I can't find them.

Peace.

 

The funny thing is, Floyd's hand and footspeed and movement DID look much faster than oscar. Oscar's combos looked fast, and he had quick reactions parrying, but generally there was a pretty big disparity in speed.

Yet floyd didn't take advantage, if he opened up more he could have beaten oscar decisively. Why didn't he you ask? Probably because oscar was being the effective aggressor and landing solid shots on the ropes, timing floyd with a jab (though not as often as he should of) and landing flurries on the ropes.

 

It's sad that the first thing that comes out of Lampley is to try and talk down about MMA. Tonight was BOXING, not MMA. Even sadder, Kellerman sounded more lucid and rational in his postfight assessment than Lampley. Surprising!

 

Oscar was blocking most of the shots. Floyd was buckeled several times. It doesn't matter. Oscar was the agressor, and he was somewhat effective. I don't see how you can win a fight, especially from the champion, going backwards and getting most of your shots blocked. Floyd looked like a bum.

Cupey

 

False

 

:eeeek:


We are on the same page :bears: DLH fought like an amateur with his punches, at least he was fighting ::

 

And to be honest, neither of them looked spectacular. They kind of cancelled each other out. The fight looked just how I thought, except I thought oscar would catch him with something big late, after doing some bodywork early. Oscar got tired though, his legs suddenly parted in the last 3 rounds.

 

You know, I really dislike Mayweather alot too...you'll find no bigger critic of trash-talking and out-of-the-ring antics than me.

And his style often can leave one wanting more excitement.

Fact is though, he won.

I'd like to see what 7 rounds DLH won so clearly that he was "robbed."

Peace.

 

DLH...fucked up by giving up round 10..he just stood there and allow Mayweather to look good for 3 minutes...even the crowd went silent...Mayweather was smacking DLH around that round...that was one of 2 or 3 CLEAR rounds for Mayweather...

 

....true, but he hurt floyd the 12th at the end :bears:
