15 years later: Who really won Dela Hoya V Trinidad fight?

I scored it 115-113 for Oscar De La Hoya. It could be a draw, but not Trinidad.

At the same time I have to admit that many rounds were close, so it wasn't a robbery of the century.

 

You can make an argument that he ONLY WON the last 3 rounds, I don't see how it could be a draw, but ok.

 

No, Oscar did not have a habit of gassing. That myth started because of the tito fight. At the time, Oscar was actually known for closing the show and fighting amazing championship rounds. Oba Carr, Ike Quartey, Molina etc.
Not sure how many people know this but one judge gave oscar the last round! lol Which was very suspect and Arum said it was because he realized he had Tito too far in front of oscar and would raise more suspicion, I guess not realizing how suspect it really looked giving oscar a round he clearly didn't deserve. Also, Don king had met with the Judges the day before the fight behind close doors, which King admitted to, but of course denied any wrong doing or paying them.

 

How many of those of you that thought de la Hoya won also had Lara beating Canelo aswell?

The difference between the two fights was Lara finished a lot stronger whereas oscar gassed.

 

I scored the following rounds for Trinidad: 1, 4, 10, 11, 12.

What I don't like ODLH for is that he is often doing nothing for 2,5 minutes of the round and then tries to steal a round by throwing a combination in the last 30 seconds. I don't buy it because these combinations have little success, though crowd start making noise, thus empasizing this moment for judges.

 

Many of Those combos made some loud thudding noises and many snapped tito's head back.

Did Tito even through a combo the entire fight? Other than 1-2. lol
