Floyd Money Mayweather Vs The Golden Boy Oscar De la Hoya 2

They were consistently separated and Mayweather wasn't exactly out of his element on the inside...he used his elbows and free hands nicely.

 

Showing Vicky that if you wanna cheat you can have this elbow in your grill. Whenever they were fighting for real Mayweather whupped him inside and outside. Vicky couldn't land nothing on Money.

 

Who are you arguing with?

 

Double,

Do you remember discussing this right after the first fight? I felt - and feel this way even more so now - that both fighters didn't put out because they expected a rematch.

If this comes to fruition...

 

i agree with you !!! i got the sense that neither fighter tried to dominate the fight...on purpose !!!

 

This fight stinks.

I want Mayweather-Cotto.

With Oscar around, that fight wasn't gonna happen this soon anyway. Both guys (Mayweather and Cotto) would most likely look Oscar's way before looking at each other.

Oscar's great for bringing casual fans to watch his fights, but for the matchups that hardcore fans want to see, it's better off that he just promote.

 

I am in the minority in that I thought the first fight was good!

People act as if these two were going to abandon all defense and swing for the fences!!! These guys are not that type of fighter. Floyd out boxed him impressively and IMO if they fought again he'd do it again

 

It was decent and enjoyable enough when it happened due the suspense/not knowing the result factor....but once is enough.

 

REED Knew EXACTLY how Floyd was Gonna Fight...REED's Problem is DeLa DIDN'T Look to IMPOSE his SIZE & STRENGTH on Floyd...

DeLa will LOSE a CHESSMATCH vs. Floyd 10 Out of 10 Times...To BEAT Floyd, DeLa's Gotta GAMBLE & TAKE Some Shots to LAND his Own...

REED Can Appreciate a "Boxing" Clinic as MUCH as a Toe-to-Toe SLUGFEST, but if Floyd-DeLa II is Gonna B ANOTHER Chessmatch, REED Doesn't Wanna Waste his Money on It...


REED

 

Exactly...

KNOWING the Outcome, it's a DIFFICULT Fight to REwatch...REED has YET to Make it PAST the 6th Round...


REED::

 

Kind of like Oscar did in the first Mosley fight. Hunch shoulders, keep coming forward, and to hell with the incoming.

I do find it funny the timing of this fight, right after Cotto-Mosley. I guess G was expecting Shane to fight Floyd next but when he loss they figured they could recoup with Oscar.

 

Exactly...

REED has NO Doubts that Shane is a BETTER Puncher than Floyd & Back then, he was Just AS FAST, if Not FASTER...

So it PUZZLES REED that DeLa Would Fight Floyd as CAUTIOUSLY as he Did...Then Again, DeLa has Had a SHITLOAD of QUESTIONABLE Fightplans/Strategies During his Career...


REED

 

I don't know if Oscar has it in him to take those sort of risks at this stage in his career.

 

True ... I hate when fights are like that ...

 

Boxing-talk says it's September 20. Who's DLH going to fight on May 3? :dunno:

 

I enjoyed the fight.. people act as if they expected Gatti-ward! :: these guys are not like that.. it was a great boxing match with the smaller Floyd controlling and schooling

 

It wasn't a complete stinker, but it has no re-watchability.

 

REED has NO Doubts that DeLa will Dig Up,errrr, FIND a "Suitable" Opponent...

DeLa vs Campas II Anyone???


REED::

ps. Hopefully Floyd Fights a Tune-Up as Well...REED LOATHES Inactivity N Fighters...

 

De la does need a tune up. He needs a win to get some confidence and kill some inactivity.

 

If Oscar does indeed fight a "tune-up" opponent i propose Cory Spinks.

 

Maybe Carlos Baldomir, Jesse Feliciano, Ishe Smith, or if the Miguel Cotto fight falls thru, Alfonso Gomez.

Hopefully DLH would lose the tune-up to abort the most unnecessary rematch since DLH-Chavez 2.
