De La Hoya vs. Mosely II: Was Oscar robbed

:-( You sad, sad, SICK little tranny! You and your exoctic animals and fetishes....You have my pitty!:verysad

 

I thought Oscar deserved the victory. HBO did too.

Even funnier, one week later after they showd the replay, the judges gave the decision to Byrd over Oquendo, and Lampley was like "I guess we were wrong again."

 

Awful decision. Had Oscar up by a mile. To be fair he got a few dodgy ones himself.

 

Robbery is too strong a word, but IMO, Oscar won it.

If you look at the reaction of Shane from about five seconds before the announcement to five seconds after, I believe he thought he lost the fight.

 

I remember thinking oscar edged the decision but that was years ago when the fight happened. I'd probably have to watch it again.

 

True, but when they are very one-sided they are instructive.

 

It hurt boxing bigtime imo. People were disgusted.

And the gift resurected Mosley's career.

 

This fight was close enough to go either way, I scored it 7-5 for Shane.

 

Should of been a draw IMO.

 

Close fight, I gave the nod to Mosley, defintely not a robbery. Mosley landed the harder shots I thought.

 

Did you score Whitaker-Chavez a draw too?:huh

 

What, two shots in 12 rounds?:-(

 

it could of gone both ways but i still had oscar winning

 

What is amazing to me is the first fight was a SD for Mosley and he clearly won that fight, yet the second fight is a UD for Mosley a fight he clearly lost!
Mosley simply didn't do enough to win the second fight, Oscar wasn't robbed but another victim of a poor judging decision. You could argue he has had his fair share of those in his favour too! Whitaker, Quartey and Sturm could have gone against him. He was screwed in the Trinidad fight but this one was just a poor decision. As someone else mentioned earlier Mosley sure didn't act like a winner and appeared uncomfortable accepting a win...he knew he lost!

 

It depends what you score for. Mosley landed the better, harder more effective blows. Delahoya landed weaker but more frequently. The first time I watched it live I scored it to Delahoya 8-4, the second time I watched it I scored it 8-4 to Mosley. Mosley was landing the better punches all night but Delahoya did definately outland him, its just Delahoyas punches were ineffective. Depends if you prefer apples or oranges
