De la Hoya vs Ike Quartey

Quartey won it for me. Very close though. I don’t think the last round quite clawed it back for Oscar.

*Ike scored the KD with a more crisp, better punch imo and clearly dominated the rest of the round

Close, great fight and the first minute of the twelve, oh my lord. If every minute of a 15 round fight was as intense as that I'd have a completely different outlook on life. There's an argument for an ODAH win and a draw but I had it for Ike.

Ike had some incredible ring generalship skills in this one, obviously an amazing jab and showed very good defence. Oscar was landing some great counters in the rounds he won, some rounds were incredibly close but I tried to not do even rounds

The seventh and twelfth were the two easiest to score for me
