What's your opinions on official the scoring of this fight do you think Shane Mosley was deserving of the decision or do you thing Oscar De La Hoya would have been the rightful winner in this rematch?
I think a draw would have been acceptable but it felt like a stretch to give it to Mosley. First fight was a different story. I don’t think Shane ever got his mojo back from the Forrest fights.
This is how I scored it, for what it's worth. ODLH v Mosley II Round 1: 10-9 Oscar Round 2: 10-9 Oscar Round 3: 10-10 Even Round 4: 10-9 Oscar Round 5: 10-9 Oscar Round 6: 10-9 Oscar Round 7: 10-10 Even Round 8: 10-9 Mosley Round 9: 10-9 Mosley Round 10: 10-9 Oscar Round 11: 10-10 Even Round 12: 10-9 Mosley Total: 117-114 DeLaHoya Actual scores were 115-113 X 3 all for Mosley. The Harold Lederman card was 115-113 for Oscar. I thought Oscar really did a good job of controlling the fight from the outside until Mosley finally got inside in the later rounds. It was clear to me that Mosley was not a junior middle. He no longer had that speedy pumping jab he had at lightweight and was really gunning for the KO the whole fight. Of course, what we know of him now getting caught up in the PED thing it is now understandable with the weight gain, whereas with Oscar it appeared to be more natural with his height and all. Regardless, I thought Oscar fought a smart fight and deserved the decision.
