So why did floyd's corner say around the 6-7th round " don't worry, we'll get him later in the fight" HAHAHAHA cause Floyd was getting outworked and LOSING and they knew it and were bankin on Oscar gassing that last quarter of the fight. Lucky for them they were right.
That was Floyd's only fight at 154 pounds and he mastered as he was doing at 147 I'm afraid. Maybe Oscar had his last breath b4 sinking but he gave it all, simply he was gassed out at midstage and lost a lot of rounds to catch a second wind and push Floyd into a good and pretty much even end stretch. Floyd won tha large majority of rounds cause Oscar stopped punching sloppy and in bunches against that shoulder roll defense and against the ropes. In the center of the ring, Oscar was getting caught cause he didn't time him with the jab so he ate so many counter sneaky rights that he lost almost every round from round 4 until the end stretch. 8 rounds to 4 at most.
I was making three points; 1) I could hear the commentators so I was not affected by them (not like I ever was) and neither was my friends 2) the only people who thought that fight was close was Hardcore Oscar fans and PBF haters ( and the judges) 3) it was not even close, PBF embarrassed the golden boy who should have called it quits a long time before this fight. BTW Oscar had EVER advantage going into the fight (hell PBF only weighed 151 for this fight against Cotto). Also Oscar might have stood a chance when PBF was calling him out when PBF was a LW.
Split decision my ass. That was a complete domination. Especially when you consider FMJ will drop a few rounds to learn a guy. If it was really close, there would have been a rematch.
Like I said Only haters or die hard Oscar fans think otherwise. Do you notice only a couple of guys are saying it was not even close . . . y'all are on the wrong side cous'!
I was actually a fan of Floyd back then too, but I'm not delusional like you guys. I can admit Oscar lost, no problem, but gimme a fukin break it was easy. Floyd's own corner had to tell him not to worry and banked on Oscar gassing out later in the fight. Oscar had every advantage? Yea every one except the fact he was 10 years past his prime. Imagine what a prime Oscar would've done to Floyd. Floyd couldn't hang with Prime mosley or prime Oscar. Easy fight:good LOL That's why Oscar was dead even with him at the eighth round and only got "easy" once oscar gassed. But strange considering 2 of three judges still gave oscar the 12th round
Only ***** homo's think it was easy That's why every expert say Floyd toughest fights were Castillo 1 and Oscar.
I really cant remember how I scored this now, but I seem to remember having Oscar a close winner. I seem to recall thinking Oscar had a good lead after 8 rounds before he had his usual dip that plagued his career. At the post fight press conference, Floyd looked beat up and Oscar barely had a mark on him. Not that, that means anything. I will have to rewatch it all again and come back. I remember someone saying to me at the time that they also had Oscar ahead
I remember I was with 2 non boxing fan friends who gave it to Oscar. It seems like the less you know about boxing you more likely you will score the fight for Oscar. I had it 7-5 Mayweather I believe
