Oscar's jab was good, but I wouldn't agree that he was more effectively aggressive. Aggressive, yeah, because he came forward with a lot of flurries but most of them didn't connect. Not exactly effective.

[treelizard]

Some boxers have told me that even some of the shots that looked like they were connecting didn't.

They told you right. And I was impressed by your assessment as well. Aggression is not the same as effective aggression. DLH threw more, landed less and never landed anything significant.

There was no arguement over who was the bigger, stronger fighter. However DLH expected Mayweather to stand toe to toe with him and slug it out in Floyd's very first fight at jr middleweight.

DLH was swinging as missing. He isn't fast enough to score against Floyd like that. I've seen Floyd slip and smother much faster fighters than DLH. And even though DLH carried more power at that weight, power only matters when you can connect with it.

[Uke]

Many people who have written about this fight share a common sentiment that says the judge who scored it for DLH needs to retire.

[treelizard]

He had some good jabs, I'll give him that...

I was impressed with Floyd's speed. Maybe because I watch more MMA than boxing.

[treelizard]

I still haven't seen the fight, but everyone seems to agree that Oscar's jab was working well when he decided to throw it. Why didn't he build on that or go to the jab more?

The boxers I've talked to said that it was Floyd's speed that threw him off--the constant feinting (etc.) threw off his rhythmn.

This wasn't apparent to me from watching it, but I'm not a boxer.

You know why?

Coz Oscar didn't want to fight like a pussy, like everyone fights now.

LOL

Statistics will tell you that Floyd got connected more, but those punches were nothin.

Through all the fight Floyd connected with about 10 hard punches, he connected with about the same in round 11. But Oscar did not went in hard defence after that, nor he was runnin from Floyd.

Actually try to choose the winner at first 6 rounds. It was Oscar.

Floyd was runnin, thats it.

Best pound-for-pound.

Bullshit

A couple of things.

1) Oscar Delahoya had no choice but to press the action. His size and strength were his only advantages.

-and-

2) Was it a 6 round fight? If not, then why score it like one? The harder, more effective shots were landed by Floyd Mayweather. They didn't have any dramatic effect on DLH(2 actually did), but he was landing the better, more clean shots. Just because DLH used his size to bully Mayweather into the ropes doesn't mean he landed anything hard or clean to score.

But of course its obvious that hempy thinks that the smaller man should have pressed the fight in his first bout at jr middleweight.

Ponder this hempy: Why do you think Oscar DelaHoya didn't make the fight at 147? Its because he knew that Floyd had too much time to get strong at that weight. He also knew that he received more losses(some official, some not) at 147 than any other weight. So he made the small guy come up in weight in hopes of doing what Hopkins did to him.

Seems like you're not a boxing fan. You're one of those "If it ain't a brawl it aint a match" kinda fans. That's fine.

I missed the fight. Anybody know where I can see it? Is it on line yet? (preferably in a place I can get to for free, and with little complication)

Tonight's the night for all the kiddies who didn't get to see the fight when it happened.

I'm sure there's a lot more you'd have like to have seen, but what you did see since you caught the last 4 rounds was shades of Gatti/Mayweather. Three piece combos. Landing at will. It looked all too easy.

I never thought it would be a walk in the park against DLH. He's been in more wars than anyone fighting today. I just knew that champions like Floyd don't have to get into wars. They don't have to take chances that lesser boxers have to take. That bothers some people because most people want to see bloody exchanges and and footage for the nightly knockout reel.

It wasn't a landslide, but it wasn't a 2 or 3 point victory. There were clear rounds that Mayweather won that press row was giving to DLH in their scoring.

And being that Mike Brewer is supposed to be a boxing coach, I know HE knows that the pitty pat flurries that land on elbows and gloves don't count. Throughout the ENTIRE fight, the commentators kept trying to give DLH credit for coming forward, but you don't win fights by coming forward. You win fights by landing clean punches, or knocking your opponent down or out.

So many people wanted DLH to win that every punch he threw was met with "oooooh" and "yaaaaaaaay", but they were mostly hitting gloves and arm on the ropes, and missing in the middle of the ring. They felt that because DLH was able to rough up Mayweather that it should have counted for something, even though when Hopkins does it he's called a "dirty fighter".

DLH was the naturally bigger man. If he couldn't push Mayweather around then he basically had nothing. DLH gave a great effort, but don't confuse effort with success.

"Real" men don't need to put on acts to be respected.

But they do need to put on acts to sell PPVs.
