Anyone else feel like this Saturday was a huge scam?

the undercards was a scam.

 

No, it was a mega fight where the huge underdog made the impossible in spectacular fashion.

All these thinking DLH stood there taking punches on purpose and "jobbed" need to go back to WWE.

 

It was intended as a scam, sure. Surprisingly it turned out to be a great fight.

 

Yeah it was a massive scam,because de la hoya really wanted to put over the biggest fighter bob arum has and make his best friend even more money i'm sure :nut

 

I thought there was some rigg involved but watching the fight again, i think DLH really tried. He just got outclassed. I think it's also obvious that him moving down affected him a lot. This was not the same guy who fought Forbes. The effort was there but the body wasn't.

 

yea, too much WWE.

 

He fights for Bob arum(someone dela hoya hates btw) not GBP so your points redundant, hatton v de la hoya makes the golden boy at least double if not more $$$$ for oscar than a pac v hatton fight does so it makes no financial sense. He didn't throw the fight atsch

 

It's not a SCAM if what you mean is a "fraudulent or deceptive act or operation." Saying so would be unfair to both fighters who laid down their lives to give us entertainment. It's just that Oscar fell short of our expectation. It showed that Pacman is the better fighter.

 

Are you saying that Oscar agreed beforehand that he will be brutally outboxed and humiliated in the eyes of the boxing world. You're an idiot!

 

Going down in weight for an old fighter= guaranteed loss + look like ****

 

Nah, that's silly...

but deep down he probably knew he was past it. In the immediate post fight interview he said "the heart wants to...but when you can't get the physical to respond...".

I don't buy for a second that he just discovered that Saturday night. Training probably killed him, he probably feared that something like this might happen and was hoping he might land something lucky on the smaller guy knowing his ability to go the distance in a prizefight without getting his face rearranged was gone with the wind.

He's an ******* for going on TV saying "I'm going to knock him out!" then not throwing a single power punch in rounds seven or eight.

**** Oscar. He scammed everybody by convincing them (but not himself, IMO) that he still had anything left.

Have you ever thought that Manny is a talented fighter and weight classes doesn't really apply to him? Manny looked like a beast at 147.. Still has power and he seems just as fast, if not, faster..
