Pernell whitaker vs Dela hoya.

Pernell is 5'6", older as compared to Pac, 5'7", younger at 29, faster. Pac should use this fight as blueprint to beat dela Hoya. :good Pac has a chance to beat dela Hoya by UD or late KO.

 

I had Whitaker winning 114-112 (Pea's official KD and the idiotic headbutt rule that cost him a point).

 

Great post....

And yes...he was.

 

He won that fight with the jab alone.

 

I had it 113-113.

Rough fight to score.

 

Peas eye was from a headbutt early in the fight. As far as dlh doing alot more......ya similar to calzaghie outworking hopkins by punching air. If punching air scores points, dlh won. Whitaker landed a consistant jab al night and that to me is better then coming forward and punching air all night.

 

No, his trainers told him he was behind and he said if thats the case then im gonna lose then.

 

ive watched this fight and the calzagie hopkins fight well over 100x and i just dont see how you could give a legit decision to either joe or oscar. Im sorry.

 

This whole "Sweet Pea schooled DLH thing" is based off of two sequences in which Whitaker did this very cool evasive move as DLH threw combos. The rest of the fight is DLH hitting Whitaker with very hard shots. Whitaker did some good combos off the ropes but it was DLH's night.

 

The thing with this fight, is most people are listening to Merchant keep saying Hoya isn't landing. The **** is saying this throughout the fight despite the fact that while he's saying it Hoya is landing hard on Whitaker. Merchant is an imbecille at times and this was one of those times.

 

The kd was nullified by the point deducion against Whitaker.
You might argue that its bull**** that Whitaker had a point deduction.
I would argue that I've never been a fan of Whitaker's nasty tactics as well as the kd was a grazing punch with the side of his arm on an off balanced Oscar switching stances. A kd is a kd, true, no matter what was the reason. On the same side of the coin, a point deduction is a point deduction.
