    Good fight I thought Oscar nicked. Whitaker made him look a fool but failed to land enough meaningful punches round to round IMO.

    well he did land more punches though... Kinda what you're suppose to do.. while making him look like a fool.

    It was a let down this fight, though great to see Oscar get clowned i think had Whitaker been a bit more active with punches other than the jab, Oscar was there for taking a close but clear decision from.Oscar just wanted it more on the night and Pea didn't have the same focus he used to, lapsing more into a Starling\Locche-esque mindset by this point in his career. though definitely a debatable bout, still.

    A bit like the 90s Laciar vs zapata.
