View Full Version : I just saw the PBF-DLH fight AGAIN and...
I didn't see DLH doing enough when he could have, but what was more suprisingly was that I didn't see that domination I hear of from the part of Mayweather. I actually saw him land maybe two good combos and two good punches in the ENTIRE fight.
It Was Closer Then Ppl Say. Imo

Oh of course! The fight was between two boxers who are rigth around the same talent, skill and experience levels. DLH has more experience of course and Floyd has more talent, Skill and youth.
But it was clear that both men struggled to gain ground throughout the fight which was why we saw a split decision victory for Floyd who I though edged DLH.
DLH has a very legit chance at upsetting the #1 P4P fight 2nd time around. It really depends on the game plan DLH and Sr come in with. And DLH needs to really work on being consistant with his Jab...otherwise Floyd beats Oscar in a more convinging fashion this go round.

I thought it was a clear victory for Floyd. Alos if Hoya could have use the jab more, might of won more rounds. I'm thinking 9-3 or 8-4 Floyd. But the reason why the rematch is happening is because people said it was close. Which is bull shit

that fight was 8-4, even though every person in the crowd damn near had a heart attack every time dlh threw a punch.

Floyd won but by no means was it a domination.
The compubox numbers for that fight were way the fuck off.They had Floyd landing at a very high percentage while i saw a lot of his punches getting picked by Hoya with his gloves.

Floyd respected De La Hoya's power and didn't want to take any chances with exception to the last round when both men were throwing their guns in the final seconds. Floyd fought more cautiously and as a result, his output was less. De La Hoya, being the bigger man could have and should have taken advantage, but he was concerned about gassing out and did gas out which resulted in semi flat performance. Like someone else said, neither man really got off and got going, it seemed more like a warm-up sparring session.

Did you expect the crowd to be Money Mayweather fans?:lol: Regardless of how the crowd reacted the fight was very close.....as close as any of Floyds harder fights. That may have been his most difficult fight to date aside from the 1st Castillo fight. But floyd had an injury going in to that fight.

do you think it might have something to do with the size and weight difference ? :think

Of course! Why wouldn't it? The fight was very even given that DLH had the size and weight advantage and Floyd had the youth, Talent and speed advantage. So going in to this fight I considered it a toss up. Anyone could have taken it. It was apparent after the final round when no one really knew who would get the nod. I thought Floyd won by a round.....maybe two! There were some close rounds. But agian...the fighters are very even.

DLH's defence was as good as Mayweathers in that fight, I scored it for Mayweather when I watched it live, but after rewatching it and seeing the excellent parries and blocking by DLH I scored it a draw.
The fight was close.
Yes the fight is closer then people seem to remember... at least the general public. In MY eyes, mayweather clearly won, but clearly won a close fight. But it still doesnt make a rematch exciting to me. I want to see Mayweather vs the elite at 147... not an older, bigger oscar. Oscar will always give Mayweather problems because hes THAT GOOD and has a good size advantage to work with that skill.
Id still much rather see Mayweather vs Cotto and Mosley, and the winner of the Marg/Cintron fight.

I think that a Split Decision was fair but it could have been scored a Draw and nobody would have protested

Good post. On the other hand you can't blame oscar for wanting the rematch. He came close to beating the #1 p4p guy. Of course he wants another crack at him.

If the fight was so close, why are so many people bitching about the rematch? I see plenty of people on this board call for a Mosely/Cotto rematch, yet they chastise this rematch.

Probably b/c the fight was so boring. The Mosley Cotto match was by far a more exciting fight with a "questionable" decision going to cotto.

The fight was kind of close only because Floyd takes a few rounds to get his distance and time the other guy. But in the rematch, Floyd will know all about Oscar coming in. Oscars frantic arm punches will be even less effective this time around, and Floyd will be beating him to the punch over and over.
Might even be a stoppage this time.

Most people expected Mayweather to win the first time; he did. Most people are expecting the rematch to be a replay of the first fight with Mayweather possibly winning even more decisively the second time around, and I'm sure he will. There's no real suspense or drama with this fight. All the people thinking DeLaHoya will pull off the upset are going to be really disappointed the morning after the fight. People are bitching because they already know what's going to happen. This fight isn't being made because the first fight was close, it's being made because Floyd wants another career high payday.

Hoya has to utilize his jab the ENTIRE fight for this one to be even as close as the last. After the 8th, I had it even. Oscar stopped using his jab after that and it was curtains.

Mayweather had trouble with dlh's jab, parrying defense, own solid skillset, and also really has no business being at junior middleweight.
Mayweather won it by an 8-4 count, but he wasn't impressive.

Come on man, Floyd won, and it was clear cut, but he didn't dominate DLH....
And people, stop trying to rationale this fight, it sucked MONEY BALLS...
That fight had NO memorable moments, signature blows (wow a right hand at the bell:patsch ). Floyd decides to stand and trade with 10 fucking seconds left, man you guys will accept ANYTHING.. Oscar groupies literally "screaming" everytime he threw a punch.
And yes, Oscar is fighting the P4P #1 fighter in world, BUT he also knows he's not getting hurt, so he can fight this "shitty sparring match" type of fight and if he's standing, guess what, I WON....:patsch

The reason this fight is not exciting is because one fighter is shot and the other one has never really been asthetically pleasing. Never takes enough chances. Even though before the fight he promised a toe to toe fight. Im sure he will be saying that in the 24/7 show. He is gonna knock Oscar and make him pay. HAHAHA. Let me translate that
"I took this fight to avoid a prime fighter and make alot of money while tricking my fans into thinking im the greatest even though i fight either midgets or washed up fighters, I am not interested in standing toe to toe, I just wanna get paid, I dont give a fuck about pleasing the fans, Its all about my bank account"

I don't hate Floyd THAT MUCH:lol: , but I can assure you 1 thing, I won't buy this shit when the time arrives...
Who am I kidding, I'm a fight junkie and will probably purchase it anyway:yep

There is no doubts whatsoever - Hoya won 4 rounds at most and that is being generous. Seems to me that we are stuck into the same shit since last May - had Hoya not stopped using his jab from round 8 on, things could have been different... BS, different, my big brown behind! This is another Hoya hype job and months before that fight happens. Prescott should simply be called each time a thread like this happens so that he comes blasting ya pretty bad... Man, not even with 3 Tom Kazcmareks would you win and I am not sure if you gonna beat Forbes to start with.

Realistically, the fight WAS close enough to warrant a rematch (entertaining enough, is another thing).
But cause Floyd IS the best p4p fighter in the world, and has such OBVIOUS other choices to go for, I think that's why this fight gets hated on so much.
