Thread: Just when you thought you'd seen the last PBF-DLH poll........

Although my heart wants PBF to win, I'm predicting a DLH KO in Round 9. The referee will stop the contest about 1:45 into the 9th round, while Oscar is flurrying at Floyd who will be against the ropes.

(Just a vague guess).

dlh ko in rd 8

DLH TKO 8-10

DLH tko 11th round

dlh ko in the 10th

De La Hoya TKOs Mayweather in the 8th.

I reckon it's a 50/50 fight. I hate to sit on the fence but I just really don't know.

It seems most seem to think Floyd on points or a DLH knockout.

I actually feel it could be like Toney Peter with Oscar adopting Peter's role and suprisingly getting a points victory.

His sheer size advantage may offset Floyd's aggression and nullify him.

We saw what Jermain Taylor was able to do to Kasim Ouma's jab thanks to his extra 7lbs frame, I think it's possible we see something similar here with Oscar just walking Floyd down and smiling at him every time Floyd lands.

Still not too many votes, but so far it's 10/16 for a DLH victory, and 8/16 for a DLH KO. Seems the tide has shifted since the fight was first announced, when most people would've bet on Floyd.

Definitly, especially seeing as how seriously Oscar has taken his preparation for this fight. I can't remember him ever looking so cut for a fight.

Also Floyd really does look small at the weight.

Weighing in at 150 lbs it's probably fair to assume that Oscar could be upto 20lbs heavier than Floyd when they step into the ring.

And its not like size is all Oscar has going for him, he's an absolutely top class fighter.

It's a real test for Mayweather, make no mistake about that.

I voted Oscar TKO 7-9

i just put a 50 pound bet on Oscar to win by 12UD
