Oscar had a sub-par performance?

News to me.

Go slap yourselves.

I thought Oscar looked great. He was playing the aggressor, using the jab and the double jab to get in on a defense first opponent, and using his height to his advantage.

Yeah, Oscar got hit occasionaly, but that's what happens when you try to make the fight. I thought his jab looked great. It was accurate, fast, and it got Oscar in close so he could fire off combinations.

Not only that, but Oscar didn't fade that much in the later rounds and his workrate was relatively steady throughout the fight.

To me he looked much better than he did when he fought Mayweather, and I don't see why so many people on here are saying that he didn't.

Because he didn't knock Forbes out? Slap yourselves.

And while this fight isn't necessarily an exact indication of what would happen against Floyd considering Floyd's defense is much better than Forbes, it does give some insight into how Oscar will approach his next fight, especially considering who Forbes' trainers happen to be and the style they implement.

And yeah, while Floyd's defense is better, he's much more reluctant to open up. So for ya'll that say Oscar's face looked beat up, you have to open up to do that to him and it was obvious to me that everytime Forbes opened up save a few times, he was getting his ass kicked.

I thought it was a straight foward ass kicking and only Forbes resolve kept him in the fight. Forbes is a hard man, but Oscar put on a great performance.

 

Are you kidding?

He used his jab almost the entire duration of the fight. The way he was doubling it up and keeping his hands in a position to block right hand retaliations was TEXTBOOK.

He also looked faster and more fluid. And how are those spurts? When he wasn't on the inside firing off combinations he was using the jab to control the fight and set the pace.

Oscar didn't fight Forbes fight, Forbes fought Oscar's fight and got his ass kicked in the process. I'm surprised that Forbes survived.

You can't knock everyone out. ****, if you put it that way, Floyd didn't knock out Baldomir, and Baldomir isn't on Forbes level and was basically a sitting target.

Shouldn't Floyd have knocked out Baldomir considering the similarities in at least the fact that neither he nor Forbes have ever been knocked down.

Forbes proved he's hard as **** in this fight. I don't know what you were watching.

 

What the **** is this supposed to even mean?

Did I say that Oscar was going to beat Mayweather?

No, I just said that the way he approached Forbes was much better than the way he approached Mayweather, and I believe he should utilize that approach for his fight against Mayweather.

It was textbook.

Not only that, but to me, he looked sharper and faster.

So what's the obvious I didn't see?
