Neither did what they were boasting they were going to do.

Everything I've heard gives me the impression Mayweather won the fight fairly comfortably and that a split decision was extremely generous to Oscar. Maybe that was one judge trying to create a rematch.

How unfortunate for the 2 of them. Looks like they'll just have to fight again and land another multi-multi-million dollar payday

Get ready to shell out another $55 because there will be a re-match.

I'll tell you what Ace, WATCH the fight and get back to me. I don'k like Mayweather and had cash on DLH, but DLH lost the fight.

He sounded like a punk on all the pre-fight hype that was on HBO...

boxing sucks.

this fight was supposed to save it, but it was just another controversial decision. sounds like a good fight though.

too bad boxing has gone the way of figure skating. any event where the winner is determined by judges isn't a sport, its a fucking joke

This fight wasn't gonna save boxing.. this was the last big fight in boxing(well, barring a likely rematch). After this Boxing is pretty much ****ed.

The only controversy I see is that it wasn't a unanimous decision. The right fighter won.

kcxiv · 05-05-2007, 10:48 PM

IT was close, Meyweather just punch and runs. I could say he won. It honestly wasnt to entertaining to watch. Floyd's running style is boring.

kcxiv · 05-05-2007, 10:49 PM

The fight was pretty close, the reason it was, is becuase OScar pressed the fight. LIke he said, if he didnt press, there would be no fight. Again like i said,Floyd is good at running.

Problem is that boxing screwed up the decision, so that just puts another nail in the coffin for the validity of boxing.

I agree, It wasn't one of the all time greats to say the least. I did my best to give everyone a no bullshit look at the fight in spite of who I wanted to win. I have spent a lot of years fighting in and judging MMA and boxing is very close in the judging department. Mayweather won the fight, the judge that called it for ODH was either drunk, or getting paid off.........seriously. Stevie Wonder wouldn't have called that a ODH win and I waned him to win.

Bottom line, not a great fight but the guy that should have won, did indeed win the fight.

On a side note, this will likely be the last boxing match I ever pay for and if my hard earned money is going to go to Direct TV, I will be to watching MMA.
