    Anyone know what round it was when ODLH threw a bunch of left hooks to the body?

    Competitive, but not really close. 8-4 Floyd.

    I scored it close for Floyd Mayweather
    in my opinion, Oscar wasn't landing enough of his punches cleanly. had they all been clean he would have won it.. and easily. Most of them were ineffective because they were being landed on the arms and gloves, and not the body & the head.
    I scored it 7-5 in favor of Mayweather.

    a lot of oscars punches when he had floyd against the ropes were not being counted...
    whenever floyd through a faint the crowd would oooooh and ahhhh and it wouldnt even be a landing shot...

    8-4

    Oscar looked good and I think he actually would have done well if FMJ had have been offensive minded. FMJ pot shotted him while he was working twice as hard for half as much.

    Funny how at the time ODH was one of the best if not the best 154 pound fighter at the time. Its not like it was an exhibition match like the Pac fight. Floyd fought ODH the champion.

    I route for floyd...

    delahoya landed much more shots than they gave him credit for. ... he just got scared to roll the dice and throw the jab that was landing..but he was also getting popped for

    It was a close fight, if Oscar was 3 or 4 years younger he would of taken away Floyd's 0.

    I thought it was a very cautious fight by PBF it was actually disappointing to me. To answer the question it was 8 - 4 PBF it was competitive but not really close, it could have been a much clearer decision had PBF actually put some combinations together. Oscar was missing with most of those flurries.

    I scored it 5-3 for Floyd. I feel asleep after round 8. I will try to watch rounds 9-12 to complete my score.
