Was the DLH-Sweet Pea decision controversial?

Whitaker was robbed! It was very contoversial but nothing like the Chavez fight.

 

It was controversial....many feel that Whitaker wasn't actually beaten until Trinidad beat a very bad version.

 

its on youtube so u can watch it and tell us what u think.

 

Yeah Sweet Pea was definetly robbed, I remember way back when watching this fight and I thought Sweet Pea definetly won and i was shocked that they gave Delahoya the decision

 

I had 7-5 for DLH. Letterman had it even.

 

it was not controversial..sweet pea lost because he didn't throw any power punches. you can't beat oscar with just a jab and defense. I scoed 7-5 for hoya easily.

 

You can if you land far more. Besides, you can't really judge based on that can you? If you land more power punches you automatically win?

 

Oscar missed all night long and the refs gave it to him because he was the future. Without a doubt a robbery

 

hey I wanted sweet pea to win but he didn't throw any power shots. he acted like he was afraid to engage hoya who was open for some power shots. sweet pea kept throwing that soft jab and parrying oscar's shots but oscar was landing and was very agressive in pressing sweet pea.

Oscar was just too big for sweet pea same with trinidad. either they were too big and young or sweet pea was on the snow real bad.

 

a coked up Pea gave Oscar a scare although I thought Oscar won...Prime Sweat Pea...dont even ask

 

He landed more punches and threw more as well, so he was certainly engaged enough to accomplish that. He also landed at a higher connect rate. Oscar was barely landing anything. Landing more power punches doesn't mean you win. Not if you are outlanded so badly.

 

You can't win a fight without landing punches. Well, except if you're Oscar

 

Fight could have gone either way, it wasn't a robbery. But the judges' scorecards were pathetic, as they were in plenty of Whitaker's fights.

Personally I had it for Pea by a point. I think DLH was grazing or not connecting cleanly with a lot of his power punches, so the disparity in power shots landed on the compubox stats were sort of besides the point.
