obvious watching youtube clips and not having seen the fight as it unfolded live is the basis for your crap knowledge
You fuking ******. I've seen the fight live and at least half a dozen times since. De La Hoya vs. Trinidad On September 18, 1999, the boxing world was stunned when Felix Trinidad defeated Oscar De La Hoya by a majority decision. To this day, my friends and I still discuss whether or not the fight was fixed, since Don King had much to gain with a victory by Trinidad. While De La Hoya dominated the early rounds, he became too confident that he was up on the judges scorecards and went into defensive mode. Apparently, he did not do enough to win the decision. After the fight, I compiled the various scorecards from boxing experts around the country. They read as follows: Steve Springer: 115-113 De La Hoya Tim Kawakami: 115-113 De La Hoya Associated Press: 115-113 De La Hoya Las Vegas Review: 116-112 De La Hoya SI: 115-113 De La Hoya ESPN: 115-113 De La Hoya Harold Lederman: 114-114 Draw Thus, more than 85% of the experts declared Oscar De La Hoya the winner of the bout. However, the judges at ringside disagreed with them.
Which of the press scores that you quoted gave Tito only 2 rounds? You've just discredited yourself by listing a handful of the press row that had DLH only winning 7-5 in rounds. Most at press row had it within the range of 7-5 either way, and yet you come in here stating Tito won only 2 rounds and that the decision was a joke.nutnut Where are all these sources that had DLH winning going away?
Yet the sources you quoted have DLH only up by two points........ .......a great many had Trinidad winning as well. The house judge Harold Lederman scored it a draw.
Funny but for all the people that call Oscar a runner not one of them can prove as to why Tito deserved the Nod ~!
Are you ******ed? People have different opinions. I gave oscar more rounds. He outlanded Tito in almost every round before the 11th. Bottom line is 85% of experts gave Oscar that fight, that's hardly a close fight to call. And for everyone that's posting and referring to punchstats with Mayweather and Ortiz's fight Here's a shocker. De La Hoya outlanded Trinidad in total punches 263-116.
Oscar only did what his corner asked him to do. The corner lost him that fight. Why would it make sense for him to run otherwise? He trusted his corner. Too much.
