Re: Oscar De La Hoya Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I'm glad Mayweather won. I wanted to put money on it, but everyone was trying to bet on Mayweather. I like Mayweather's attitude, it's like Tyson's. No ones likes him, they talk shit about how he fights, so why should he be the nice guy when everyone wants to see him lose? It didn't look like Mayweather got hit in the face to much, he just had a little lump above his right eye. I haven't seen De La Hoya's yet. I don't know how they judged the fight, Mayweather clearly landed 43% of his punches, where De La Hoya only landed 20%, I feel that it should have been a unanimous decision for Mayweather. I have seen fights where the judges take away points for the guy throwing crazy amounts of punches that don't land, it should be the same no matter who the fighter is. On another note I want Wright to beat Hopkins, I know that sounds a little crazy but I like Wright what can I say. If I was to say Hopkins is going to beat Wright then that’s like saying you love the Redskins but Dallas is going to beat them.
Winky is the greatest unknown fighter right now he gets no pub that guy is a old school boxer.. I expect him to win that fight but Hop is a very smart fighter that is crafty so you never know..

I tried to watch this fight in Crystal City, but the sports pub I went to wasn't showing it b/c PPV was charging the place $50,000 (no lie) to air the fight in that restaurant.

Re: Oscar De La Hoya Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
fight was ok just because of oscars flurrys now and then. Only thing that made it suck was that mayweather was just running around and pitty-patting the whole time, was not what it was all hyped up to be. And on the winky wright hopkins fight dont know who really is or not real boxing fans and actually watch all fights and not only big ppv ones if you ever saw winky fight sam saliman from australia you can see that winky can actually be eaisily hit as long as you constantly throw combinations, this guy kept on winky he just did not have the power. So if hopkins gets his training right and conditions himself to where he can throw lots of punches every round he can get winky, if he tries to sit back and counter he is going to lose bad.

Meh...I wanted Hoya to win. Mayweather has to be on of the cockiest people alive, he couldnt even give Hoya his respect. The guy asked why wasnt it a massace, he talking about he gave the fans what he wanted and BS. He barley one, I say it should of been a draw, round 12 was hard to tell. Hoya was flurrying but he was landing some. oo and +1 for Hoya's wife, lol.

Fight Sucked, IMO Mayweather Didnt win, Oscar dominated 9 out of 12 rounds, only reason he lost was floyd landed more punches, but I think Oscar landed more punches than they say he did. Floyds punches never affected Oscar even the power punches. Oscars hits did affect floyd though, who was bleeeding and had a couple knots on his head. What a gay fight all the hype for bullshit
