I watched the re-airing of the fight last night for free on HBO. The judges decision was a fair call. The crowed kept going wild every time Oscar gave out a flurry of punches. The problem was that he wasn't making contact. Pretty Boy Floyd on threw half the punches of the Golden Boy but Mayweather was making at least 40% contact while De La Hoya was only making 25% contact flurries and all. In the world of professional boxing it's not about activity is about accuracy. The judges don't count how many punches you throw, they count how many you land. Mayweather landed more punches and won the fight fair and square.

So you just don't like Mayweather, that's pretty plain. Oscar DIDN'T win the fight...yeah, he was the aggressor most of the time, but a lot of the punches he threw were landing on Mayweathers elbows and gloves, or just plain missed. Floyd, on the other hand, picked his spots and was tagging Oscar cleanly while he was on the ropes. I originally figured it was a draw, but after watching it again WITHOUT the sound, I figured Floyd won 8 of 12 rounds. And no, it WASN'T the worst decision ever...that goes to either scoring the first Holyfield-Lewis fight a draw, or the de la Hoya-Whitaker fight...both of those decisions sucked!

Whether you liked it or not, it was the proper decision based on the rules of professional boxing, not preferred taste of fighting style. There's really no point for a rematch. You'll get the same result. Oscar can't match up with Floyd's superior hand speed. Oscar should go to England and make millions against undefeated Ricky Hatton. Oscar wants to fight in England and Ricky wants a chance at Oscar. Oscar will have to trim down. Floyd should fight undefeated Miguel Cotto or Sugar Shane Mosely at his natural weight.

It certainly didn't live up to its hype. Floyd never delivered the @ss whipping he promised and Oscar chased him around trying to press the action. Floyd didn't oblige and won an easy decision (yawn).
What's the point of a rematch, 12 more boring rounds and another decision for Floyd?

Mayweather won. With the power Oscar De lay hoyas has and punches he was giving he should of knocked out Mayweather but Mayweather withstood the ones he actually conneted and played him well. Oscar was also fighting at his natural weight

how do human beings nevertheless believe de l. a. hoya received the superb wrestle its incredible,he compelled floyd yet thats no longer adequate,how a lot of his punches truly landed?Floyd boxed wise and honestly received,he landed each and each and every of the cleanser pictures.it became under no circumstances a split determination i think.as for a rematch i visit work out floyd walk it back,very similar type of wrestle as very last time.oscar became quite sluggish back then,yet another isnt gonna have helped.to say floyd became merely hiding behind his jab and terrified of gettin knocked out is garbage.hes a wise fighter and if u have considered any of his previous fights ud comprehend thats he doesnt pass toe-toe, why ought to an exceedingly good protecting fighter substitute his sort to in structure the ordinary public?boxing is about prevailing no longer exciting.

I saw it very close also. Oscar won early in each round, and Mayweather comes back When you get two fighters with skills, not just offensive but definsive as well, you tend to have boring fights.

the only reason why it looked like oscar won is because of those flurries he did once a round but he missed most of the shots on those flurries and if he did 3 or 4 flurries a round he would of won but he thought he could win each round at the last 30 seconds and thats not how it goes

i didnt watch the fight ,couldnt see paying 55 dols on something that will be on hbo for free in a week or two,but i can tell you, it couldnt be close to being the worst decision ever. bad decisions are common place in boxing,it is something that is defitely hurting boxing.boxers careers are often ruined by bad decisions.but from what i hear that decision was fair.

It was close but Oscar just didn't throw the punches he needed to. Merriweather won. Close,very close and a very good fight.
