    When I saw the fight live I did not score it. My impresion at the time was that at the end Mayweather deserved the win but De La Hoya may have won enough of the early rounds to get the win as well.
    Yesterday I took the time to watch and score the fight.
    I have to say when I took the time to watch and score it was not as close as I thought it would be.
    I scored it 117-111 or 9-3 for Mayweather.
    There are points in the fight especially in the early rounds where De La Hoya is brilliant he uses his jab effectively and goes to Mayweather's body. However he is not really able to sustain this for entire rounds. In the first 6 rounds De La Hoya was able to get off to fast starts but by the end of the first :60 Mayweather was often in control of the round. He was more aggressive and more accurate than De La Hoya. I scored rounds 2,4 and 6 for De La Hoya. In my opinion the sixth round was the only tound De La Hoya won with out any doubt.
    Starting in round 7 Mayweather won every round. While De La Hoya may have thrown more punches. Mayweather was the more aggressive and accurate boxer.
    In the early rounds De La Hoya used his Jab very well but never really fallowed up with any thing behind it. By the middle of the fight he had almost completely abandoned it.
    I think that anyone looking for clues on how to beat Mayweather should look to this fight more than the first Castitlio fight.
    What De La Hoya did right.
    1. Jab
    2. Go to the body even if you don't score early.
    3. Get Mayweather to the ropes. This may be the easiest thing to do with Mayweather. While he is much better in the center of the ring he seems to prefer to fight off the ropes.
    What De La Hoya was not able to do.
    Basically sustain any of this for more than a minuet per round and for the most part not at all in rounds 7-12.
    While in the early rounds contact is more important than scoring shots as the fight goes on the shots have to scoring shots by no latter than round 5.
    In the end while there were points in the fight where De La Hoya was very very good. Overall Mayweather was much better.

    de la hoya let me down in that fight I seriously thought he would beat mayweather, I scored it a very clear 7-5 for floyd and its one of his best wins.

    It's not that he ran out of gas. Mayweather just adapted. Same with most Mayweather opponents. They don't all have stamina issues.

    I had it 4 rounds even after 8 rounds. After that, Oscar decided he'd try to mount an attack on Floyd just once per round from Rounds 9-12, which I scored all for Floyd. Even Freddie Roach said Oscar had stamina problems and was not the most focusd fighter in training, just not mentally that tough.

    8-4 Mayweather

    I also had it 9-3 Mayweather.

    Floyd Jr felt Oscar won 4 rounds.
