    It was pretty close.

    One thing I always remember here is that there were stretches where it looked like Whitaker was literally running around the ring

    It was frustruating watching Pea use his excellent defense to avoid getting KTFO, but his problem was that he wasn't firing back with anything significant... DLH would land .50 Cal punches to Pea's bibi's... And Pea missed a lot too.

    Yeah for real ,I do wonder if the age had something to do with it or was it the respect for Oscar's power ?

    Oscar had crazy power. Oscar made Chavez quit. Camacho said Oscar was the best fighter he had ever fought. Oscar was KTFO guys who had not gotten KTFO or that were durable within a couple rounds.

    Oscar's lefthook in his prime was so powerful and fast, and the technique he used to throw it would hurt his opponents and made them gunshy.

    I think Alcazar was perfect for DLH while he was young and energetic, but as he became a part time boxer, and got older, I think Mayweather helped him conserve energy and still be effective.

    Steward, Roach, and Nacho didn't really do much for him.
