Video: Oscar De La Hoya's 6 most controversial bouts

Finally got around to it. Two years later. I gave the 11th to De La Hoya. But your scorecard is far from egregious.

Round 1 De La Hoya 10-9 DLH's jab, combinations and hooks to the body take the first.
Round 2 Quartey 10-9 Razor close round, Ike landed heavier cleaner shots, but DLH with more volume.
Round 3 De La Hoya 10-9 Another razor close one, Ike a little too apprehensive, DLH had more moments.
Round 4 De La Hoya 10-9 Low output from both, Oscar parrying well, landing jab and counter left hook well.
Round 5 Quartey 10-9 Ike landed counter hooks, one twos, and jabbed well, Oscar's threw very little.
Round 6 Quartey 10-9 DLH drops Ike, Ike comes back and drops DLH, and takes rest of round with rights.
Round 7 Quartey 10-9 Oscar conservative, Ike takes round with jab a few rights, and a flurry late.
Round 8 Quartey 10-9 Ike dominated first 2 minutes with clubbing rights, DLH bounce back with left hooks late.
Round 9 Quartey 10-9 Close round, DLH started and ended well, but Ike took middle with heavy rights.
Round 10 De La Hoya 10-9 Razor close, DLH rocks Ike early, Ike's jab takes middle, DLH closes strong.
Round 11 De La Hoya 10-9 DLH lands left hook early, jabfest from both, DLH lands flurry late to take it.
Round 12 De La Hoya 10-8 DLH drops Ike early with left hook, then unloads vicious flurry for 30, Ike's out on his feet, then DLH gasses out and plays it safe.

114-113 De La Hoya

 

Here's my takes on Oscar vs. Tito and Sweet Pea, I finally rewatched them both, and finally got around to watching the Quartey match (three years later), which was excellent.

Round 12 Trinidad 10-9


117-111 De La Hoya

Just like with Leonard-Hagler, it's another "it seemed close at the time" match. De La Hoya completely schooled Tito for the majority of the fight, Tito took the fourth barely, the fifth was close, but Oscar more accurate, the ninth and tenth De La Hoya got on his bike, but Tito was landing little clean and De La Hoya still did enough to nick them, as far as the eleventh and twelfth go, it wasn't so much Felix won them, its that De La Hoya gave them away. Ridiculous robbery, the judges should be ashamed of themselves, in no way shape or form did Trinidad win this. And... Harold Lederman turned in one of his worst cards of 114-114, at the very best, Tito still lost 116-112.

Oscar vs. Ike

Round 1 De La Hoya 10-9
Round 2 Quartey 10-9
Round 3 De La Hoya 10-9
Round 4 De La Hoya 10-9

Round 6 Quartey 10-9
Round 7 Quartey 10-9
Round 8 Quartey 10-9
Round 9 Quartey 10-9
Round 10 De La Hoya 10-9
Round 11 De La Hoya 10-9
Round 12 De La Hoya 10-8

114-113 De La Hoya

Brilliant tactical fight from both men, the 3rd, 10th and 9th all ridiculously close, but going into the 12th he needed to close strong and he closed strong as hell, so... while Ike might have a slight argument by maybe a round, personally I think De La Hoya deserved the win.

Round 12 De La Hoya 10-9

115-111 De La Hoya

I haven't seen this match in a long long time, like over 20 years. I didn't enjoy it when I saw it live, but I thought Oscar should have won it then, but I wasn't some well schooled boxing geek at the time. But all these years later, my opinion hasn't changed. Pernell was just too damn inactive and inaccurate, many of his jabs missed the mark and Oscar was more active and his power punches when they found their marks, made more of a lasting impact on the rounds he landed them in. Sure Whitaker jabbed well throughout, but that's not enough to win most rounds, that Oscar was jabbing fairly well in himself, decisively enough for everyone to whine about it like they did.
