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

I had a dream i was checking Boxrec.com...under DLH record and for the Mayweather fight it READ....W TKO/KO 3..and this was after watching how slooowww DLH looked compare to Mayweather in the fight Mayorga...my mind tell me Mayweather easy...9-3...my heart tell me dlh could/will land something big on pretty boy and he won't recover..



so that will be my prediction....OSCAR DE LA HOYA by TKO 3

 

Oscars not that slow, even on the little of training we saw. We saw Oscar is pretty fast

 

He look very slow in the Mayorga fight...compare to Mayweather fights vs. Bumdomir and Judah...

 

My position has also changed after watching the replay of the Mayorga bout..

Unfortunately Oscar gets taken to school and loses a lopsided 12 round decision.

Man I hope Oscar has more left than I think, but I just can't see him touching Mayweather consistently enough to do any serious damage.

 

Against Mayorga he seem to be thinking to much, and as the rounds went by the punches got slower and the combination he finish Mayorga with was nothing special...arm punches..

 

Mayweather by decision. Oscar's too proud to quit.

 

Oscar TKO 11

 

In a fight that means fuck all cos Oscars not a fighter anymore: Oscar KO 11:warning:

 

True enough. He'll still cain mayweather

If Floyd cried after an easy win against Gatti, I wonder what his reaction is going to be after getting stopped by Oscar.

 

Oscar de la Hoya MD.

 

But there are those who say he won't be Abel.

 

I have somewhat of a gut/logic conflict as well...

Logic dictates to me that Floyd will have no trouble in hitting Oscar (even Gatti managed to hit Oscar frequently) and would give De La Hoya HELL in terms of getting hit in return. Oscar's favourite and only dangerous punch is the left hook...and it's virtually impossible to land a flush left hook on Floyd.

De la Hoya is an orthodox fighter who stands 5'11", has fast hands...but not fast reflexes or legs anymore and has the tendency to slow down in the last half of the fight.

A prime version of this same De La Hoya and a very hard time with a slightly post prime Pernell Whitaker and in the view of many...lost that fight.

Pernell, at 147, at that stage...was no more elusive than Floyd, no faster, no bigger, shorter, less reach, less power. Oscar at that stage was faster, fitter, hungrier than he is now.

So logically, Floyd should beat Oscar on the outside and on the inside and win a clear unanimous decision.

Gut, however, says that Oscar's combination of jab, reach, height and power will give Floyd fits and cause Floyd to lose a decision (or possibly a TKO if Oscar manages to land the left hook FLUSH).


BUT...

I have learned from experience that LOGIC tends to win over GUT, at least in my case and so I'll stick with logic and predict a Floyd decision by scores of 116-112.

The Sly One has Spoken!! :warning:

 

DO YOU DARE TO DISAGREE??

:doh: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

 

::

 

And alot of the time, GUT can win over LOGIC. It's happened many times. It can happen on May 5.

 

Floyd is gonna beat Oscar about as bad,if not worse than Calzaghe beat Lacy:doh:

This fight will be so one sided,it will be putting people to sleep by the 6thld:

 

This is a fight that everyone loses.

Mayweather will win a clear decision, and still lose fans because he's a dick.

De La Hoya will lose the fight itself.

The fans will lose because this fight will be boring.

I'll end up losing sleep because I'll stay up to watch it on a long boring PPV.

My wife will lose her sanity trying to figure out why I said this fight was such a big deal in the first place.

And most importantly, I'll lose most of my pessimism about boxing if I'm wrong in the first place ::

 

OH THANK JESUS! When they asked Max his assessment for the fight, I was scared to death he was gonna pick Floyd. That would ruin EVERYTHING! But thank god he didnt give an actual prediction.

 

Seriously,the more closer this fight comes,the more I'm starting to debate if I'm even gonna still buy this with each passing day

That's how much faith I have in this entire fightcard being a bust!! Or should I say "Lemon":kick:

There's no reason Oscar shouldn't throw his left hook, there's also no reason for a suspiciously low output, significantly lower than it was against Mayorga, why?....because Fraud can't punch ofcourse, and Oscar won't be under pressure, there is no logical reason for him to be tense, especially in respect to the physical monsters he's been in the ring with, in this fight he's going forwards at all times.

If there is an absence of left hooks, and a below average work rate, then Fraud signs with Golden Boy Promotions soon afterwards the following week or month, it is the main 3 capitalist fundamentals that shall be linked to a possible fucking fix, and I, plus a few others, warned of the 'no lose' arrangement between Oscar, Fraud and HBO a long time ago. :nono:

If by the odd chance it is for real,...Fraud has nothing to keep Oscar off of him, I think 'Cotto-Malignaggi', only less competitive,...it's not as if Oscar isn't accurate, Fraud WILL get hit, and if the referee points out Fraud's elbows, forearms, palming and turning his back early in the fight,...it won't go 6 rounds..

I feel a bit like Sly but my logic and gut are united on this one.

I think Oscar has one very big atribute that showed against Vargas. he can show up big for a big fight. He has had plenty and up until he didn't care whether Hopkins had his way with him or not, I think he always rose to the occasion.

But you can't predict a fight based on this intangable and Floyd has everything else. Usually in boxing the other things are huge... things like punches, speed and technique. I predict Muse will be elated... sort of... Oscar wil charge often the first part of the fight and Floyd will Baldimore him about. Oscar stays on his feet and the pretty one wins a unanimous decision. The verdict will ring hollow, like the inevitable ending of SArtre's no exit... Everybody will be a victim...Floyd will get called on his end run and Oscar will be praised for probably doing less than Baldimore did. And tomorrow on fightbeat life will resume normally as people claim the that spaz Judah is a dangerous puncher.

Floyd UD in a stinker for the ages.

 

:clap: I can see this bullshit happening too. All this hype and advertising for DLH/Mayweather 2 :doh:

 

This will have all the excitement and drama of De La Hoya - Trinidad build-up, but that's all.

 

I watched Mosley-De la Hoya I with a few friends. We all agreed that Mosley clearly won the fight. I said, "I'll bet anyone here $____ that it's a split decision." Someone took it. Then I said, "I'll bet anyone here $____ that De la Hoya won't complain about the decision." Someone took it.

 

:eeeek: WTF ,...please...:nono:

 

Good analysis, I am leary of this whole thing too. That's why I am not betting more than 50 on this fight. I think DLH will be more agressive if the fight is real because pitta pat isn't going to break an egg. Also I am worried about how that Hopkins fight turned out and if it was just a fluke or some consipiracy:dunno: Then there was the decision where Oscar got robbed with Mosley. Boxing is too crooked and strange things have happened with Oscar. I just hope it isn't a punch and run fest where Floyd wins by bitch decision...I would rather see a draw than that...

 

you smell like :shit:

 

:cheer: Floyd UD :tease:
