The "Unlike the other retards, I actually watched the fight and saw Floyd win clearly

I agree with you. DLH needed to be more of a bully. don't worry about his head until the later rounds, bang on anything from the shoulders down to torso. Fuck throw a low blow, you get one before the ref will call anything. DLH should have just been banging away, but he fought like a retard.

 

it was funny - in the first round, ODH did throw and land at least two low-blows.

 

Floyd won so easy...

DLH couldn't land shit..

I only wish DLH was MORE aggressive so he would have got more tired and Floyd could have stopped him

 

easy for you to say, but you got to remeber floyd is returning punches, in order to be a bully you got to be willing to take clean shots back

 

Agreed 100%.

I had the fight dead even after 8 rounds, then Floyd broke free by winning rounds 9, 10, and 11... Hoya came back and won the 12th IMO. And I thought most of the rounds were pretty clear to score.

It was a clear but still CLOSE decision for Floyd. Anyone who claims Hoya won is wrong, but anyone who claims Floyd won easily or by a wide margin (ie: Max Kellerass), is just as much wrong.

 

...and a ton of other posters on this forum, and boxing fans in general.

 

good point. But with Floyd only throwing one punch at a time he couldn't hurt DLH. He doesn't have that one punch KO power against Oscar.

 

I thought the EXACT same thing, that Hoya would take over the fight from that point on. Floyd looked hurt by those jabs too. But Hoya let that opportunity slip away. I thought he did something similar in the 1st Mosley fight, when he seemed to have Mosley hurt and tiring by the middle rounds, but then abandoned his strategy and was looking for one good shot, which let Mosley recoop and get back into the fight.

 

Yep, the re-writing of history began the moment they brought Max back on screen.

Calling that a "virtuoso" performance was embarrassing, IMO.

Watch as he calls more and more fights on HBO. His standard scorecard for close fights involving fighters he likes is 9-3/8-4.

Boxing fans have been lucky he's mostly been calling showcase fights, where it doesn't really matter how most of the fights are scored.

 

i agree with you he had to take the shots, it was his only chance to win, standing in the middle of the ring waiting for an opening thats never going to happen isnt going to win the fight, there was one was for oscar ot win the fight and he didnt care to go for it

 

The way he sucks the cocks of boxer/movers in fights is ridiculous. I've seen guys clearly get staggered, hurt, or overpowered in a round, and Max will still score it for that guy because of his "ring generalship".

 

Yep, the clearest example I can think of was Raheem-Freitas.

But again, the sample size has been pretty small on BAD.

 

id love for a justification of how Oscar won the 12th

 

By landing better punches.

What's your point?

 

When I was watching the fight live, I also thought Oscar took the 12th. Having said that, I had been up for about 20 hours and I haven't seen it since, so I don't remember specifics about the round.

 

Mayorga is not a star. Anyone could've been the opponent for Oscar's comeback fight last year, and it was going to draw big. Mayorga added a little something to it with his shit talking and bullshit green belt, but was otherwise playing the same exact role he did nearly two years prior; punching bag for comebacking superstar.

 

LOL. Mayweather beat him bad for the first 2:45. He landed multiple lead rights, looping rights,jabs. With 20 seconds left Oscar stumbled.

Upon review, and rewatching this is one of Mayweather's best rounds of the fight

 

If they flurried a little bit more in the twelfth, someone woulda got KTFO. I'm betting Oscar.

 

it was a schooling. Unless ur giving DLH credit for the arm punch shoe shines, Floyd outlanded oscar handily from start to finish. And oscar buckled, carlos the blind

 

he probably had it 12 rounds to 0 for Floyd::

 

If he thinks anyone was "beaten bad" at some point in that fight, then he was obviously watching a different fight altogether.

 

So you think Mayorga is a nobody? He had been on Showtime and HBO a bunch of times including a PPV fight with Tito. He was real exciting and one of the best shit talkers in boxing.

 

Mayorga is a name, but that doesn't mean he's any good. He's a draw though with his shit talk and wild style.

 

De la Hoya's win over Mayorga was no more important than Mayweather's win over Gatti.

 

I just want ......Pretty Boring Floyd..... to just go away with his little flawless record and retire.

 

:eeeek: :bears:

Round 3,6,8 were pretty close. If you give Floyd all three of those rounds, you are a nuthugger. If you give at least one to DLH, 7-5 is reasonable for Floyd. If you give two of those to Oscar, you are borderline DLH nuthugger, this makes it a draw. If you score all three of those rounds to DLH, you are a DLH nuthugger and have it 7-5 for DLH.

If you carry on how Floyd controlled DLH and put on a masterful performance, you are a DLH hater AND a Floyd groupie :nono:

 

Would you like to join the bandwagon?:bears:

 

You said it right there. He is a NAME. Campas and Sturm where guys nobody had heard of and the PPV buys reflect that.
