who won...de la hoya or trinidad

No offense, but your username is puertoriccane...and you're talking about perception and bias...

 

Yes I'm puertorrican but i can judge a fight leaving my like or dislike for a fighter aside. Yes the fight with DLH vs Tito couldve gone either way but when you see so many people calling it a robbery is funny. This fight was close and DlH gave it away by running and refusing to fight. But at the time DLH was the golden boy nobody thought he could lose a decision in a big fight. Plus the commentators of the fight was for DLH so that changes the public opinion also. Watch the fight in mute and tell me you think DLH was cleary dominating the fight. And pro boxing is not the amateurs where you get a point for each hit. You get judge by applying pressure, landing the more meaningfull punches not just slaps.

:hat

 

That's funny. That's the same thing Oscar fans were saying about his fight with Mayweather.

 

Oscar doesn't slap, dude.
You see Tito walk into the ring with white trunks? Do you see the red on his trunks mid way through the fight? That's Tito's blood.

 

Bleeding is part of boxing, are you telling me because tito was bleeding from the nose he lost the fight? That is really funny like i said before fight was close and couldve gone either way but to call it a robbery thats is stupid.

:hat

 

No, not saying he lost the fight because he bled. Just saying those aren't really slaps. Calzaghe, not that's some slapping there.

 

De La Hoya by 4 rounds!! This result devastated me for weeks as it was obvious!

 

Anyone here have the boxing writers opinions of this fight before the fight happened and how many sided with who beforehand because Oscar appeared to be all sorts of wrong for Tito?

 

I remember the Sky Ringside show and I think out of 6 pundits 5 predicted for De La Hoya I think. I do remember that most predicted for Oscar

 

Cheers for that man. If I'm correct this would be the last fight between two of the top 3 pound for pound fighters for quite some time so I didn't think the predictions would be that clear cut in favour of Oscar.

 

What i meant is that if you look at DLH's career prior to this fight and you can see that he sat on his punches. He took the fight to his opponents and wasnt afraid to brawl. Against tito he looked like he wanted to use a more amateur style of fightint. At the end of the day his excuse was he wanted to give a boxing lesson but lets be real here he was afraid to exchange and if he wouldve trade it with tito he wouldve been dropped probably koed. He refuse to sign a rematch and ran from it. Tito when on to do bigger and better things against reid, vargas and joppy. Dlh thought he was invincible and that he would never lose a decision and that cost him. He needed that humbling expirience.

:hat

 

The thing is, most people who score it for Oscar don't defend his running like he did and almost everyone finds it distasteful. He still had enough rounds in the bank before that. Obviously he blew it with the official judges due almost entirely to that decision.

 

Oscar. clear as day. If they werent named trinidad and delahoya and were just a couple of guys boxing, ya'll would have had the fight scored 8-4 Oscar

 

Look at his avatar, he got Tito and Juanma, obviously a Boricuasexual lover nuthugger atsch
