    Yeah, I had it 116-112 for Floyd. In the likely rematch, I see him winning more convincingly...getting the unanimous verdict.

    Dude Oscar didn't beat Tito --

    You notice everytime that DLH loses (for the exception of B-Hop) he loses by SD.
    And the fights are never usually that close....

    In the case of Tito -- I had the 6-4 for Tito going into the championship rounds. All DLH was doing was bouncing back and fouth ... nothing effective. After the 6th he start fighting flat footed and stopped throwing his jab. He then ended the championship rounds by running and getting caught with flush right hands from Tito.

    I remember that fight as clear as day son and Oscar didn't win that fight. I seen that fight like 30 times and never seem a legit argument for Oscar. He popped his jab and bloodied Tito's nose, but Tito was stalking landing jabs, right hands, and left hooks at will.

    Floyd can possibly knock Oscar out -- if Oscar chooses to fight after 6 rounds and throw punches.

    He buckled Oscar's legs in the 5th I think when he was on the ropes. Oscar opening up like that gives Floyd more opportunities for sneaky countershots.

    I remember that and I was just thinking how easy Floyd made it look to throw those rights while having his body twisted.

    Oscar caught those shots flush on the jaw and he stopped fighting effectively after the 6th. It got to the point where Floyd was standing there, leading and countering. He wasn't moving backwards ...

    Oscar was just following him around the ring with a high guard. Floyd was picking his spots and landing the cleaner shots. If they fight at 147 or 150, stamina could be a bigger concern for Oscar.

    They're fighting at 150 -- thats why DLH is trying to get some rounds in against Stevie Forbes. Its not going to work though ...

    Stamina will come into play unless Oscar pulls that bull**** he pulled last fight. Thats half way I don't want to see it ...

    He's just going to keep his guard up - absorb some precise shots and flurry every now and again.

    Pretty much. He'll start off strong, behind his jab while Floyd takes a couple rounds to settle in and adjust. Then Oscar will fade and Floyd will take over down the stretch.

    Do you think he'll stop Forbes?

    DLH's stamina will once again be his problem. However, if that's the case, maybe Floyd shoud turn it up a notch and FORCE DLH to fight this time.

    agreed
    yet another reason why I don't wanna see the fight --

    Floyd just seemed to comfortable with winning like that instead of going for the gusto and making Oscar fight -- which in turn wouldve probably caused Oscar to get KO'd.

    You know Floyd wasn't going to get tired.

    Tito tried to make Goldy fight. We all know how well that went. "Feets don't fail me now!!" :lol:

    I don't think he'll stop Forbes -- I think the point is to get rounds in with a smaller, fast, fighter. He will punish Forbes for 12 rounds and in return Forbes gets a quick million and a 1/2 maybe 2.

    IMO he shouldve fought Vernon Forrest or Corey Spinks

    Oscar won't go out like that against a fighter smaller than him -- whos not known for being a KO puncher like Trinidad was. at that time Tito was the bigger man and a natural welterweight.

    He would be forced to exchange with Floyd and possibly get knocked out.

    There's no way Floyd KO's DLH. And I say that not because Floyd doesn't possess the ability, but because the first sign or danger, DLH backpeddles it.
