Fitz I know for a fact if you had walked into a counter like that you would have regrouped, until you have been hit you really should not speak there are some here on the forums who have been hit
Anyone who had that fight close needs to get their head checked because FLoyd dominated that fight from the opening bell. Only time DLH was effective was using his rough housing tactics but that only came with experience in the game. DLH v Floyd wasn't a young guy versus an older guy because they're only 4 yrs apart in age ... that **** gets thrown out the window ... especially considering the time that both spent in the game (10yrs +) and the multiple championships they had ... going along with 18+ championship fights at the time.
Nobodys card goes into the official books, the officials are experts at what they do, and they did their job on may 5th, they had the right man winning but the right score to go with it, which is rare now and days in the sport.
:-( :-( Maybe you should try another sport Fitz, seriously I mean I dont think your that stupid to think what you type perhaps you just dont understand how the fight game really is.
See thats where you got it wrong bro ... if I were to come in there with a mindset that this man couldn't hurt me ... he would have to knock me out to prove me wrong .... other than that, i'm going to stay aggressive and press the issue. It wasn't like the advantage in speed was that much of a distance ... Oscar at his age still posses alot of hand speed.
man 9-3 is hardly a ****ing SD and 8-4 (if you're being generous) is still not a SD. Even the HBO commentators as bias as they said that the decision shouldn't have been a SD ... If you have at closer than 8-4 then you need to choose another ****ing sport bro.
you think DLH didnt have that mindset? do you think your stronger mentally than Oscar De La Hoya and you would have done better? these are two well proven champions they know what they are doing in there. what you just said here is just pure an utter wishful thinking or some fantasy kind of ****. as you said before Floyd is by nature a counter puncher he caught Oscar with a stinger comming in, why wouldnt Oscar re set and adjust to what Floyd is doing? that is just ****ing stupid, and if you are thinking about Boxing, I would advise you not to, the way you think about **** you would not do any better than Andrew Hartley
You mean Max Kellerman, not lampley not Merchant, not Stewart however the officials did their job its a SD no matter how you think the fight went in your mind in the books its a SD by a single point.
Sorry PBF took Oscar's jab away with movement and countering over the top. If the jab was so successful as you claim then why in the **** would he just stop throwing it as you say? If that's the case Oscar must be the dumbest boxer on the planet to have something working and then just all of a sudden stop doing it even though he's had over 40 fights and been in many megafights fights as well.:roll: Quit making excuses for your boy.
You really think that? DLH knew Floyd could hurt him and he new that he couldnt take too many of those right hands flush like he did on the ropes. DLH stopped punching after that shot bc he needed to get his head together. DLH was trying to land that Left against Floyd's right, but a straight punch is getting there faster than a hook....especially speaking of FLoyd Mayweathers speed. DLH did the SMART thing....other fighters would have tried to continue to load up and beat Floyd on the ropes.....DLH the intelligent fighter he is, decided to take the "L" durin that mini battle and win the next. Both men had their spots where they won mini battles in that fight, but ultimately the war was won by Floyd.
I cant explain why he wasnt using it, but you and I both know he just wasnt, I cant explain why he didnt use it as often, but I can tell you this it had little to do with what Floyd was doing, Freddy Roach had a game plan drawn up, and I am sorry as much as I respect Freddy as a person and a coach, changing trainers going into a big fight like this is never a good thing.
On the replay special ... Merchant said that Floyd had won the fight clearly and that there was no reason why this fight should happen again and as a fan he didn't want to see it. Lampley said on the replay special that many fans were judging with their hearts and that the victory was a clear one for Floyd Mayweather. Steward said that Floyd won the fight during the night of the fight. I don't get what you're saying ... are you a Floyd Mayweather hater or something? Mr Magoo seen that Floyd won that fight ... Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles seen who won that fight.
Floyd took Oscar's left hand away completely and made him use the right hand which isn't effective at all ... Good post pimp c
You need an eye doctor homie.....Or a dictionary....maybe both. Domination is not considered Floyd vs DLH. Domination is PAC vs Diaz. It's not Old vs Young, but PRIME vs Past Prime. To say that DLH is as good as he was in 2002 or 2003 is not only untrue, but borderline ******ed. 4yrs in a sport like boxing is like a lifetime....the trianing for one is extreme in regards to what their body's go through and the fights are brutal. For guys like floyd and DLH they are good enough to avoid too much damage in fights, but thier training camps are HELL.
