super robbery De la hoya did coast late but he clearly won the fight. He outboxed Tito. He exposed a great flaw in trinidad he could not punch if he could not get set left hook or die
Exactly those photos proved that He turned in to a hooker. De la Hoya won but some round where close because of Trinidad activity, and the judges saw that, and in His last three rounds He just give up the fight, just like Clottey did against Cotto.
De la hoya was robbed. Tito just followed him around and he was outboxed. De la hoya did run late but he did to much to through the fight to lose. He should have that Tito win on his record in my eyes he does
I thought Trinidad won.Oscar was up 5-3 after 8 rds and then ran the last 4 and cost himself the fight. He deserved to lose
Can't see how anyone can score it for Tito. I was rooting for Tito but he was outclassed for long periods of the fight. Oscar threw more, landed more, landed in combination more, he even landed the cleaner punches. You can't give an opponent a round for simply coming forward, not throwing, missing when he does and just because he is seen as the bigger puncher give him a round for landed a couple of clean shots when he's been outclassed for the other 2 min 30 secs of a round. Never really liked De La Hoya, found him boring would rather watch Tito every time but he won that fight, clear as day.
I saw Hoya winning but I was not surprised to that loss because the HBO crew AKA Hoya lovers at that time had the fight even. maybe being ringside was different as seeing on tv.
Oscar won the fight by what should of been a unanimous decision, bizarre and borderline corrupt how he 'lost' the fight.
Tito was and is my all time favorite fight but i thought he lost that fight. I thinkh Oscar threw away the last 4 rounds and you simply cant do that in any fight. Let just say you had it 7 rounds to 1 after 8 but gave tito the last 4 then it would be a close fight. I doubt anyone had it 7-1. I think the turning point in the fight was i believe the 4th round where after dominating tito the first 3 tito caught oscar with the left hook and stopped oscar in his tracks. I think oscar thought itd be too risky to take too many of those and got on his bike and took for granted that he`d get any decision.
Oscar won. Honestly I remember Oscar even winning like the 10th or 11th round I think. He coasted, but boxing is a sport and he played by rules. He should've got decision. I agree above w there should've been a rematch though!
