De La Hoya vs. Floyd - Close or Not

close fight

 

Though I was obviously rooting for Oscar, it was Floyd by clear UD. Not sure what the other judge was watching.

 

I think Floyd won AT LEAST 7 rounds. But yeah it was a close fight.

 

I had it 8-4 for Floyd. Agree with the others that thought the judge that scored it for Oscar was not watching the fight properly.

 

I gave Mayweather 7 rounds.

 

I think those body punches were his best work that night. I don't mean the crazy shots he threw at Floyd's ribs against the ropes that actually made Floyd laugh, the ones in the center of the ring. I think dlh get's little credit for 2 things that night, his defence which was practically as good as floyd's, and his body work. He couldn't find the upstairs all night but he was doing body work.

 

Scored it 8-4 for Floyd the first time and 7-5 for Floyd when I tried to give Oscar the benefit of the doubt in what I perceived to be close rounds. It was a competitive fight, but I think the sizable weight different had a lot to do with that.

And yea, a lot of Floyd's shot's got picked off, but then so did Oscar's. If you're going to give Oscar credit for busy work early in the fight you've got to give Floyd credit for the same later in the fight. But Floyd certainly landed more and landed cleaner.

 

people saying it was really close are rewarding oscar to much for his aggression. i thought it was a very clear Mayweather UD.

 

116-113 7-4-1 Floyd

 

7 to 5 floyd

 

8-4 or 7-5 if you are a close relative of de la hoya are acceptable.

 

The smartest thing Roger ever said was, "Dont go on the ropes the judges are gonna think he's landin sumfin!!" I still have it for Floyd and though I didn't score it 7-5 sounds about right.

 

this fight was not even close. People who thinks that was a draw was not watching the fight and only listening to the crowd when DLH was hitting Nothing but gloves

 

My thoughts as well.

Sometimes when momentum changes in a fight, it's easy to give a guy a round when he truly doesn't deserve it, simply because he was better than he was the round before.

No way this was any closer than 7-5 and even 7-5 is a bit of a joke

 

i had it 115-113 floyd,if oscar could just keep going later on in the fight and win 2 rounds he would have won.
