Con game being put on by HBO and GBP ...

There is no way that this rematch should even be taking place ... I'm all for watching it but at the same time, I don't see it being any more dramatic than the first one. Most fight fans see the fight going the same way or even more in Floyd's favor the next time around.

Now watching the Forbes v DLH fight showed that HBO is doing whatever it takes to add more drama to the fight. Bring the Mayweather brothers into the mix and giving Oscar too much credit for a fight than most expected him to win anyway.

Father v Son ... Brother v Brother ... a rematch ... a chance for clarity ...

B/S

Why?

 

Because in the end it is us who gets disappointed ...

The build up for the fight leaves us craving for it ... but I don't see the Oscar v Floyd II having that much behind it.

It seems like HBO is desperately trying to make this one work ...

When they really should be turning their attention to Cotto v Mayweather ... I don't think this fight is going to help boxing - but more help the pockets of Mayweather and DLH.

What the hell is wrong with two young guys ... multi-division champions, undefeated, and in their primes ...

Back in the day ... a fight between Oscar and Cotto wouldve been set up so that it would create the build up for Cotto v Mayweather.

 

I agree with you 100% ... its going to be hard for me not to order the fight ... but i'm hoping for a decent undercard.

Oscar didn't show that he was going to do anything different in the second fight and at his age and the time he's spent as a pro ... that there's any room for adjustments and improvements.

He didn't look faster and he didn't look any better at boxing ... People had argued with me when I mention that Oscar looked like the same Oscar.

I have a feeling that this fight will be a flop ...

The goal would be to get a fighter w/ a simular style as Floyd who posessess simular speed and agility.

Forbes didn't have any of those attributes ... all he was - was a fighter that shared the same trainer as Floyd.

HBO, GBP, Oscar, and Floyd are going about this the wrong way and Saturday night further proved that.

I see where Floyd is coming from looking to make 30m ... but as far as HBO, GBP, and Oscar doesn't stand to gain much.
They all can stand to lose alot of money in this ...

 

You can beat Mayorga with a straight punch ...

Just because he was on his toes against Steve Forbes doesn't mean he's going to be on his toes against Mayweather.

So what he was throwing his jab ... that doesn't mean anything ... he hasn't showed me anything different. He's not going to do any of that against Floyd.

He can't keep up that pace of fighting against a younger, more energized fighter.

This fight showed that if he did that against Cotto or Floyd that he runs the risk of getting knocked out.

 

Oscar's game plan is going to get him knocked out ... Floyd is waaay faster and a better overall fighter than Forbes.

That **** isn't going to work with Floyd who's not going to stand there against Oscar. He's going to run the risk of tiring out as well ... he can't keep up with Floyd and follow him around the ring and expect to get anything off effective.

He just can't do it ... bouncing on his toes and throwing his jab more wasn't the key to him losing the first fight against Floyd.

He was beat to the punch ... he punched himself out ... he couldn't keep up with Floyd ... his lack of head and shoulder movement also hurt him ...

he needs to pick up some defense ... I don't care how good Forbes is, there is no way that Oscar shouldve looked the way he looked after the fight.
