I personally had this fight a draw if I remember correctly... been a long long time. This fight was by no means a robbery. Lets just assume that I'm such an expert and a draw is actually the right way to score this fight then well maybe the next man doesn't have my expertise and therefor could mess up a point or two either way giving the fight to one of the fighters or perhaps sitting ringside is an inferior way to view a bout since sometimes you can only see the fighters back or perhaps it's a superior way to see the fight and the judges acctually scored this fight better than I did. Either way there have been many blatant robberies in boxing and big miscarriages of justice and this simply isn't one of them.
It was a pretty clear victory for Oscar. The way the judges scored that fight really made me wonder if they were actually scoring it round by round, because there's no way Tito won any of the early rounds in the fight. What I think is most telling is one of the judges, I believe Jerry Roth, scored the 12th round for Oscar, but had Tito winning the fight. If anyone actually saw the fight, they'd know Oscar didn't win that last round, he was back pedaling since round 8/9 in the fight when he thought he had won enough rounds to coast to the end. It was shocking to see it, the GoldenBoy losing a decision in Vegas in his prime. never thought a fighter would be able to beat Oscar in a decision in his second home.
Of course Oscar got robbed. It was the same year Don King robbed Lennox Lewis. No need for calculus here. Oscar won it easy. The only way you can have Trinidad winning even 5 rounds is by giving him 2 or 3 of the last 4.
Yeah but I had that much wider and more decisive. Besides I can't say anyone's been robbed when they spend four rounds robbing me of my money by running.
Meanwhile In Trinidadville, he didn't throw or land anything. Throwing 4 hard punches and missing them all aren't scoring blows.
In my eyes 7-5, 6-6. Either way, he lost. That's what happens when you confuse football with boxing and try to run out the clock. Only people that got robbed were the ones who paid for that sh*t.
I had the fight a draw,watch the fight with sound off and its a different fight,HBO were all over oscar's dick..
Fair enough. Now answer me this, exactly how does Ole' Fishnets win the fight while he's doing his best impersonation of Jessie Owens?
i agree that jerry roth should never judge fights as he is such a biased and corrupt judge. but after watching the fight anybody could make a case for who should of won that night
Rematch should have been made @154 after Oscar TKOed Vargas . Trinidad/Delahoya 2 could have very well beaten Delahoya /Mayweather in PPV buys. BTW It really makes me think , if Oscar knew he clearly beaten Tito then he should have gladly accepted a rematch and just beat Tito again , financially it makes excellent sense so why not take a 2nd fight ?? Oscar was aware Trinidad would be an even bigger risk to him in a rematch . Why else would he not pursue a 2nd fight ? I can't think of anything else .
