What did you think of the fight? I loved seeing Oscar trying to box Floyd into the corner to pound him while Floyd kept using his speed in the center of the ring. It was very strategic and had some exciting moments.

Floyd had good cardio he has learned to run.

I don't watch any boxing really but I thought it was good. They should have fought until someone fell asleep on the canvas though.

wasnt as good as Id hoped.Both had their defense down pat making it hard for either to land a big shot.
No real winner either.
A draw wouldve been appropriate IMO

What's next in Boxing.?!? Next big event..

I though it was good fight, had some nice moments and tags from each other.

I told everyone before the fight, Mayweather by decision so at least i was right with that prediction.

i laughed at all the people who said floyd would knock oscar out in 6. but a decision is pretty much what the expected result was. tho i don't really think it should've been a split decision. there is no way that Oscar should've won 7 of 12 rounds, and i'm an oscar fan. freakin judges.

it was a pretty lame fight. split decision my ass.

anyone notice DLH stopped using his jab after the 3rd or 4th round?... fucking dumbass!!

he was gettin him with the jab.. and he stops using it... :/

Is it worth watching? or is a snoozer...Im not really a boxing fan because MMA>Boxing

Oscar almost got the draw... anyone ever look at the punch stats? one sided fight to me.

Worth watching unless you already know who won.

I like these kind of fights whether it be in boxing or MMA. The only thing really missing was the knockout potential from both fighters really. De La Hoya had a good gameplan in the early to middle rounds and I thought he was up a couple of rounds at one point, but after the 8th Floyd just put on a real clinic and deservedly won the fight. I thought the two judges who scored in Mayweather's favor scored the bout how I saw it.

it was aight...nothing more nothing less. Though it didn't live up to the hype.

Yeah. It was a classic match up of contrasting styles for sure. Floyd is just so quick and precise... The second round was awesome. De La Hoya just seemed pissed off. He was throwing some bombs. I think he realized after the first round that if he doesn't knock Floyd out there is no way he could win.

IMO the Split Decision was a joke. De La Hoya made a really good fight out of it,, and did win some rounds.... but C'MON!!!! Props to Oscar for being more aggressive, pushing the pace, unloading with some barrages... but unfortunately it takes more than "intention" to get a win. Floyd simply landed more punches. I guess it depends on how you judge. Floyd Sr. had an interesting perspective,,, that Oscar should have won because he threw more punches and was more aggressive. The old man was probably just pimping for a rematch so he could redeem himself for passing up a $1.5M payday.

I'm pretty jacked up to see he and Winky scheduled to fight...

I liked the fight. The only suspence was would Floyd get knocked out. Mayweather did what he always does, and that is fun to watch when he is fighting a top guy that can knock him out.

What??? Weren't you the one who said boxing would be dead after this fight? Now you're saying that you can't wait to see Bernard and Winky go at it? wts?

Thoughts... I give Oscar a lot of credit, he did A LOT better than what I thought he would. Both guys gave a real good account of themselves, and IMO both came out of this fight as winners.

BUT it should have been UD for Floyd IMO

Ill have to watch it again more closely.For the most part Oscars shots wernt landing[like the whittaker fight]Floyd was shoulder rolling & doing his thing.But Oscar was flurrying fast enough to restrict Floyds usually effective counters and deserves points somewhat for aggression & effort.
Like I thought the first half of the fight was very close,Oscars defense was very good & it was apparant that not only was Floyd having probs landing but he also couldnt seem to hurt Oscar.
When the decision was being announced I genuinely thought it could go either way,Floyd got the W but as you pointed out Oscar also came out a winner & he can hold his head high knowing that he gave boxings No.1 P4P all he could handle for 12 rds.

I cant see either of them retiring & a rematch is a natural.

It looked like Floyd won it pretty clean, I don't see how it could have been a split dec at all.

Floyd has godlike speed, noone can deny him that, Oscar couldnt even see him.

I had the fight 116-112 for Floyd, but I knew it could go either way because the rounds were close and Oscar has been involved with a bunch of controversial decisions, both for him and against him. I really don't know how that one guy had it 115-113 De La Hoya, but then again I've seen a lot worse.

I was nervous to see Jerry Roth there, we RARELY see a fight the same way. So I was surprised to see that he had this fight pretty much the same as I did. I mean he's the guy that scored Taylor/Hopkins 1 as 116-112 for Hopkins (what fight did he watch?)

i thought it kinda sucked
it did have some exciting moments but they kinda looked like they were trying to set up a rematch
and floyd isn't going to retire

He is great to watch,also consider that DLH is a speedster who's usually the one thats too quick for his opponents.

Should've gone to DLH for not running the entire time. :/

I suggest you need Mark Twain's advice
"It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

We need to somehow segregate the MMA and the boxing forum, with a special pass needed to visit both.

From what I know only 1-2% [maximum] of mma fans meet the criteria required to get that pass.Setting a criteria that works would be time consuming
Flaming of retarded input to the boxing forum should be made mandatory..& can be implemented immediatly.

thought the fight was very interesting to watch in terms of technical ability (not that I would know much about that). Floyd was very impressive and accurate. Some of his countering was awesome. Don't know why oscar abandoned the jab when he even saw that it was working. I still want to see rocky juarez's fight.

It was a decent fight. De La Hoya gave up on the jab though, that jab backed FMW up and gave DLH a chance for a flurry. Still I don't think DLH could've matched Floyd's accuracy, that was just amazing

I think he quit the jab cause he was fatuiged by then.

LOL. +1. PWNT..

I had the fight dead even at 6 rounds a piece for both fighters.

Great close fight, I thought at the end it was a draw but was leaning towards Floyd
If Oscar can get back into that kind of shape the rematch will be alot better and even closer
I thought Floyd had a few chances to do more offencively, and Oscar had nothing left through round 10 and 11 but he came back strong in the 12th

I want to see Floyd/Mosley now, and Oscar/Trinidad

Best thing about last night was Floyds drugged up dad... Hands down!

skullet > shaved head

I am a huge Oscar fan, but there is no way this should of been a majority decision. Mayweather clearly won the fight and proved to the doubters, like myself, of how damn great he is.

*B-Hop the great is coming back to fight Winky. This fight will be a lot better then Mayweather vs. De la Hoya.

Its refreshing to hear that someone who doubted Floyd before the fight came out of it with a newfound appreciation of his skills
You've respected the facts of the situation enough to make an objective evaluation thats right on the money.
Good post Henjes

Hatton Castillo is the one to look forward to in my books
