    Is that the clip that has "all of the action" from the fight, that didn't end up having all the action?:lol:

    what's intesting from watching that clip is the number of times Oscar is throwing punches...then Floyd turns, and Oscar is about to nail him in the back of the head or back, but then pulls his punch back instead.....or he's throwing punches and looking for something to hit, but all that is available is back of floyd head and back, so he doesnt throw......that doesn't seem fair :dunno:

    Floyd Mayweather beat DLH. No doubt about it, hands down, even though it WAS a close, competitive and awful fight.

    I agree completely..

    In rewatching the entire fight, it did jump out at me that Oscar was better defensively than I thought while watching it live.. But he still lost..

    Exactly. And the fight sucked. And Floyd is the reason thefight sucked, but, like always.....he fought to win the fight. And he did, and IMO....convincingly.

    I should close this crap.

    You have to watch all the rounds in their entirety to know who won a decision. Floyd won the fight clearly, and it's not up for debate. Sorry.

    Youre right, you should close this crap. It shouldn't even be up for debate.


    Now, if the Mayweather haters are saying that an older, much bigger guy gave Floyd more problems than a P4P king should have had......I can understand that.

    But anyone that feels that Oscar should have been GIVEN the decision over Floyd.......isn't a true boxing fan imo.

    Floyd won clearly, but he should've let his hands go more.

    But he won. That is the point everyone is trying to make. No matter how UGLY he won, he won clearly.

    I don't like it,....you don't like it, NOBODY likes it.

    But it is what it is.

    I agree.

    While Mayweather did a very good defensive job, so did Oscar. Floyd was too conservative IMO. You'd think in the richest prize fight ever, he'd want to make a bigger statement. He obviously wants more of the public to embrace him and to be a bigger PPV/box office draw. But the fight was competitive and pretty close most of the way, and this is in Vegas, a place where Oscar has gotten some controversial decisions go his way (and against him as well) with some ridiculous scorecards. Yet PBF didn't seem to be willing to take enough chances.

    Maybe I'm looking too much into it and being overly critical, as I don't feel Mayweather really had much business @ junior middle (similar to Oscar when he fought @ middle), but I think it may be a cause for concern.

    You are right on MANY fronts.

    But Floyd still won.

    CYC is a great guy and all but the Floyd Oscar fight has become an obsession with him.... The Captain's Ahab, so to speak. If he does not stop obsessing about this fight he will soon be wetting his bed again and his nervous twitch will be coming back.

    :lol: :lol: I just figured I would bust some balls last night before I left work ...

    Anyway , Oscar won that fight.
    There are ONLY TWO decent action scenes missing from that clip.
    One was the nice shot Floyd landed in the 5th round and the other was when Oscar made Floyd miss 6 or 7 punches in a row while standing right in front of him.
    With that said , its a wash.
    The rest of the clip is legit and Floyd did nothing to win that fight.
    I mean seriously , what the hell do you guys think Floyd was doing in those small missing sections , attacking like an insane pitbull raining blow after blow on Oscars face ? :doh: :lol: :lol:
