that was a BS call dlh should still have that title. it should of ended atleast draw or dlh winning by 1.:paddle:
 
Boxing is boring.

I saw it 8 rounds to 4 for Mayweather.
 
How anyone could have De La Hoya winning more than 3-4 rounds, is beyond me. Floyd put on a clinic, while Oscar attempted to steal rounds with wild flurries.

That was the first time Mayweather ever lost anyone's card.

I hate Mayweather, but that was hysterical when he came out with that Sombrero and the Mexican shorts.

The compu box stats were horribly misleading. So many punches were blocked by DLH's gloves and apparently scored as landed, because there was no way Floyd landed that many more shots than Oscar.

On the other end, Oscar didn't jab and when he did it was effective (his excuse: "It just wasn't one of those nights":hmmm: ). And he also got tired in the late rounds. He can only blame himself. That fight was still a draw in my eyes though.

I'm looking forward to:

Zab Judah vs. Miguel Cotto
Jermain Taylor vs. Cory Spinks
Edison Miranda vs. Kelly Pavlik
Arturo Gatti vs. Alfonso Gomez
Bernard Hopkins vs. Winky Wright
Wladimir Klitschko vs. Lamon Brewster
Ricky Hatton vs. Jose Louis Castillo

Should be a good spring/summer of boxing.
 
I saw some highlights today at the gym. Looked like Oscar was the aggressor, but lost wind.

Didnt seem 1 sided to me... A draw wouldve been fine by me, but then again, I didnt watch the whole fight.

I did wonder why the black guy was wearing spanish colored shorts...

I usually find Lightweight boxing boring. It almost always goes the distance, which some can say is good, but I say sucks. Watching heavyweights fight is where its at. Everyone thinks theyre slow, but theyre not, and thats what makes it so interesting to me. However, HW boxing has sucked for a while now...

There was some Lightweight fights that I loved...some spanish guy fighting an Irish guy. They had 3 fights, 2 going to the latino, 1 going to the irishman. Two fighters KILLING each other. Now if boxing was like that more often, then it would make a fan out of me.
 
Boxing in general these days in boring. it has lost its appeal (to me atleast). They just don't go out there and slug eachother anymore. It is all this dancing around bullshit. I hate it.

I hope Floyd gets his ass beat for the comments he made (which the showed on sportscenter), saying that the UFC is nothing but a bunch of guys that couldn't make it in boxing....so they have to go and kick eachother and roll around on the ground.

RIIIIIIGHT.....Mayweather is a faggot and boxing is a dead sport.

its boxing p-funk not slugging. Look at 50 year old sluggers their brains don't work to well.

that is the nature of the sport.

you go in and try and knock the other guy out. If they are so worried aobut it, then they should get out of the sport. At least the old guys would go out there and lay it all on the line.

I don't know man, I watched it on a 60+ inch HDTV and I could see what the celebrities were saying. Those punches were so fast, Oscar didn't even see them. Whenever Oscar got owned with 4 or 5 punches in a row, he would throw those wild flailing flurries to up his punch stats.

Oscar looked like an amateur last night, and if anything boxing lost fans (I know I'll never get another boxing PPV.)

And they just couldn't resist. They had to mention MMA. God they look and sound desperate. Last night seemed like it was the last time we'd see Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant (I know it isn't but it eerily felt that way) and if it wasn't for Max Kellerman being there to share some insight at the end, that might have been the most painful telecast that I've ever had to watch.

Boxing is through.

Oh I almost forgot. I would however pay money to see the Merchant/Mayweather Sr. interview at the end of the fight again. Two bumbling idiots confusing each other to the point of comedy. Priceless.

sorry but no Floyd was backing up most of the night. Last three rounds cost oscar the fight

Boxing just needs a heavy weight. Thats what Boxing lives and dies by. No MMA fighter has ever done anything like this over and over again

One more thing I want the people that thought this fight was a draw to consider:

Boxing is considered the "Sweet Science"

That being said, how in your right mind can you award someone points simply on their aggressiveness? There's nothing scientific to that. In fact, by awarding fighters points simply by being aggressive you kinda turn Boxing into the very thing they accuse the UFC of being, A wild free for all.

Mayweather used pure raw talent and ability to basically hit Oscar at will. It wasn't even close really.

must of seen a different fight then me. Where you drinking last night?

I haven't had a drink in weeks.

I was literally 3 feet away from a 60+ inch HDTV watching the HD broadcast in my friends living room.

It's not like I'm the only one saying this, just about everyone interviewed ringside saw the same fight I did. :hmmm:
 
boxing shouldn't have to go to a decision...they should fight until someone gets knocked out. the decision makes it to subjective. it is like fucking bbing.

That's because they've realized you can win fights without doing that. Defensive boxer is emphasized a lot more these days. I like it. I'd rather watch great foot work, defense and strategy than two fighters lumping each other up until they can't talk right a few years down the road. It would be like watching pitchers throwing as hard as they can and batters swinging for the fences every time. Where's the strategy or talent in that?

I'm gonna have to see the replay because I was watching it on my laptop on a live video feed with subpar resolution. I'll let you know what I think when I watch the replay on HBO and score it again. But I do know for a fact that Floyd's punch stats were exaggerated in that he a lot was blocked.

That's where defense comes in. You can box without having to get wailed on. Look at Winky Wright, Bernard Hopkins and obviously Floyd.

it is BOXING! it is not a game! People pay to see a damn fight!! Not to see guys dance around wtih crafty footwork and place defense. How exciting is that? People want to see two guys get in the ring and duke it out. these guys play that pussy game and that is one of the reasons that boxing has losts so much appeal.

Although he is critized for being a heavy weight champ in a time when there was no "real" boxer and being a champ in a time where he had no "real" rival, at least when Tyson fought you knew that there was the potential for someone to get their head knocked off. That is why people watched.

It would be like taking the home run out of baseball or the deep pass out of football. Why would anyone want to tune in? At least you know that at least once (usually more) in pretty much every game their will be an HR or a deep pass and it will make things exciting. I don't get that with boxing anymore. I watch a fight and I am not 100% positive that their is going to be a strong round where guys come out slugging. Shit, at least the in the show the Contender, the guys come out and throw down.
 
the Young tyson had great defense and movement he could come in at any angle. he was always moving and used his whole body when he punched. be didn't just stand there and slug it out

Watch Arturo Gatti, Joe Calzaghe, Jermain Taylor, Manny Pacquiao, Wladimir Klitschko (been KO'ing a lot heavyweights lately), Lamon Brewster, James Toney, Erik Morales, Paul Williams, Vitali Klitschko (making a comeback) and many more. Boxing is far from dead. If you want to see purely brutal knockouts and quick slugfests, MMA is where it's at, even though there are exceptions there too.

And no one expected to see a slugfest between Floyd and DLH at all. Boxing is a fight yes, but it's a sport too. To say you just all you want to see is guys beast on each other and KO each other, hurt each other is a shitty attitude as a boxing fan and towards athletes in general.
 
I watched the whole fight. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... BORING.

Mayweather is faster than DLH, neither of them hurt each other and the decision could of went either way. Not exciting at all, bad fight.
