How did you score rounds 6, 9 and 12 of De La Hoya-Mayweather?

:dead

 

sorry, don't remember. i know it was a close fight. oscar fought smarter than most, and capitalized on floyd's inactivity by constantly throwing and occasionally landing, despite not being very effective, he was dictating many of the earlier rounds. i agree money won the fight, but if two different fighters were in the ring and they fought the exact same way, many probably would've given the fight to whoever fought like oscar. most judges and fans don't have the skill or intelligence to see past aggression for effectiveness.

 

Man this again

 

Round 6: For Young Mayweather. Floyd landed an uppercut early. A few power punches from Mayweather. $ had the cleaner punches. Oscar got in one good right hand and a few body shots on Floyd.

Round 9: For Young Mayweather. Oscar was getting clowned on in the first half and the last minute of the round. Not much action going on in the middle third of the round.

Round 12: For Moung Mayweather. Floyd landed some clean jabs, right hands, and body shots on oscar. Oscar got the better of Floyd in their final 10 second brawl, but it wasn't Oscar's ring generalship that got Floyd into that position. Floyd stopped being so careful since there was only 10 seconds left.

Not a spectacular performance from Young Mayweather, but definitely a learning experience. He makes sure to stay off the ropes now. $ knows the power of activity when it comes to stealing rounds now; how can anyone be satisfied with walking away with a split decision after winning 9 rounds?

Oscar's excellent hand placement, chin, and Floyd's single potshots made Floyd look unimpressive.

 

Young Mayweather??? what is he, a rapper now?

Floyd 7...Oscar 3...2 Even.

 

Cant be arsed goin into my fight collection & watching the fight tbh but I remember full well that Mayweather won rd 12 & to me - if you uderstand the art of boxing - that rd was undisputable.

(please dont tell me that your leaning towards DLH for this fight ? :-(, I hope not)

 

pac 9 round shut out...mayweather...pulled away because oscar stopped jabbing.

 

I couldn't answer you on this one, Pop. Because I don't remember and...I can't really watch "the fight that saved boxing" again.

 

12 is a Floyd round. Oscar doesnt land a punch for the first 2 minutes of the round. How do you give a round for someone who doesnt land a punch for the first 2 minutes?

 

By about Round 7 I had Floyd up about 5-2 I believe, maybe more. Then I just turned it off out of boredom, not a fight that deserves anything near a SD.
