    He is left handed, and fights with his best hand forward. Most fighters like that tend to have a weaker off hand. However, Oscar has always used his right hand pretty well. It's always been blown out of the water. He hit Vargas with right hands that sent sweat into the rafters.

    Oscar has KO two guys with his right hand before.

    He has a good right hand for a natural southpaw.

    Tito still sends thank you cards to Oscar for making his career, and he also sends thank you cards to the judges for handing him that gift decision. Tito's entire career is built around being schooled by Oscar and getting a gift decision.:yep

    Trinidad showed the Boxing World that night who owned the Welterweight Division, all along. In 12 rounds, he took Oscar's undefeated streak, the Welterweight RING Linnear Championship, the UNIFIED Title, including Oscar's precious WBC Belt, the heart of all the Oscar fans, and most of Oscar's dignity. :good

    Oscar has a bad right hand, IMO. He doesn't turn it over with much. However, he has a great jab and a fantastic left hook, of that there's little doubt.

    But sometimes in his fights he does not plant his feet on punches, which doesn't do him good.

    I think that Oscar's opponents may disagree about his "bad" right hand....
