Was Oscar-Floyd close?

Close but clear Floyd UD.

 

The night of, I scored it a draw along with about 10 other people in the room. I have never watched again though.

 

I remember that the 12 round was closed and as a loyal Oscar nuthugger I scored it for him. The fight was kinda close ... I mean... yeah Floyd won but would have lost badly to a prime Oscar

 

Final 4 rounds tells you everything you need to know about the fight.

:shock:

 

First time i watched the fight i believed the Oscar hype and probably saw the fight through rose tinted glasses and scored more favourably to Oscar, therefore having the fight close. But now as i look back and re-watch rounds i score it more decisively to Mayweather

 

Fight was somewhat close on the scorecards, but the thing about it is that Oscar was winning close, indecisive rounds mostly on being busier, not on being effective. The rounds Floyd was winning, especially in the last third of the fight, he was being far more dominant.

Still, if Oscar hadn't gassed out entirely he might have been able to squeeze Floyd out on the scoring.

 

That was a big part of it. I was rewarding Oscar a bit too much for doing not much of anything.

 

people always use the oscar gassed excuse because it was his excuse...when i watched the fight it looked like not only fatigue but also floyd started whoopin him and frustrating him...oscar was scared to throw because he was getting countered like crazy...i thought it was an easy night for floyd 8-4 or 9-3, he gave away a few early rounds which i believe was to adjust to the jmw class he was a bit cautious of getting caught... and i was in a room with about 10 people and we all agreed, one did think that oscar won tho.

 

It was a close fight until Oscar abandoned his boxing. It was becoming an excessively boring match and IMO, DLH sacrificed his chances of winning - or at least keeping it close, to make it more exciting. They promoted the hell out of this fight and Oscar realized the match was not living up to the hype.

 

I had it 117 - 111 for floyd. Not really close to me. Even when oscar was effective he wasn't effective.

 

As much as i hate to say it, Floyd clear. If Oscar had jabbed the last 4rds, it was there for the taking. When he stopped jabbing, so did his chances of winning.
