Thread: DLH - PBF 1-10 rate this fight and why.

I give Oscar a 7 or 8 for his effort and Floyd a 10. Floyd outboxed a bigger guy and still won. Give him credit. He beat the bigger guy, something Oscar did not do with Hopkins. As for the fight getting a 1-10 rating?? 8

if it was for the blatant robery i say like a 7.9, but cuz of the roberey i say a 2

this fight suked asshole, balls, and everything in between. i give it 2;it didnt live up to its hype

Little harsh aren't ya?

I give it a solid 8.
The pace was great. Oscar gave a tremendous effort like we knew he would. And Floyd was beautiful like we knew he would.
Any fan of either fighter had a good time.

Go watch street fights on youtube or something if that's what you're into.

6.5, technically excellent and great boxing skills - as I've said in another post I wanted something a bit more conclusive

Don't think we were ever going to get a stoppage were we with these two

Floyd landed some really hard punches on ODLH, I was surprised because ODLH didn't really look like he hit harder than Floyd. When Floyd actually sat down on his shots, they looked hard as hell. ODLH gassed out and mentally went away from his gameplan, he should blame himself for losing that fight. The SD was disappointing. Floyd adjusted, Oscar didn't, plain and simple. Roach told Oscar to jab and he didn't. A rematch isn't really needed. Oscar should try and avenge the loss that really hurt his legacy (Trinidad) and Floyd should take on Hatton, Cotto, and Mosley.

I agree. No rematch needed. I gave this fight an 8.5. This wasnt just because like you said it was really awesome watching two great boxing masters go at it and with the combined personalities and celebrity-like excitement brought to this match (i dont know about you guys but delahoya fights usually bring some pretty fine lookin girls by the pad and this was no exception...it was even multiplied because Floyd has a lot of female fans too...so there was a bigger and more diverse boxing crowd than normal at the house, which added to the fun/excitement of the match; instead of just a bunch of drunken yelling guys we had a bunch of screaming drunken girls too so this was a good time beyond just your average boxing match. Gotta thank God for boobs.

Floyd, if he stays, should look to take on Cotto only if he wins against Zab and Hatton if he beats Castillo. Both of them really have to prove themselves to be worthy of being on his radar right now. I think the only fight right now for Floyd if he does not decide to retire is against Sugar Shane Mosley...


Now I guess we wait to see if Floyd retires.

Mayweather 6, for turning up , nothing new though no guts just his usual ring perminter defence and potshottingfrom the outside .

Oscar 7 , made the fight initiated all the attacks backed up the young man , stamina let him down .

Fight 8 , not so good when you watch a second time round it was more about the event Oscar bought some guts and genuine intent , Mayweather just wanted to Foil Oscar and just do enough .

Not enough from Mayweather nowhere near enough after the shit he talked !

The Event was always gonna be bigger than the fight it was like reading a good thriller the conclusion or anything leading upto it was going to better than what actually happened .

the suspense absorbed me throughout but only becuase Oscar showed glimpes of his oldself

I give it a 10 bacause it pulled me rite in i was a bag of nerves till final bell did'nt want Floyd to get caught both gave 100% it was as good as it was ment to be but Floyd deserved a UD

I'll Give It An 8 , Was A Good Fight But I Expected To See Alot Mor Action From Both Of Them . I Pesonally Thought Oscar Won The Fight And Flloyd Only Won 4 Rounds.

So, with only a few exceptions, I see most agree this was a good fight. Though it did not live to the hype, a feat that would have been impossible the way this fight was promoter, the fans got to see some great boxing from two elite fighters. I wonder though if the cassual fan drawn by the event that was this fight was convinced at the end to watch some more fights.

One thing that suprissed me was how good PBF handled DLH's punches because DLH did indeed land 2 - 3 solid shots. But in fact it was DLH who seemed a tad more affected when PBF tagged him.

i give it an 8 out of 10. its was an absorbing bout rather than a classic but was a better fight than i expected.

I have to agree with you bro. I actually felt empty after the fight. What did both men prove. O yes. Both combined are $100 million richer. We all have to ask ourselves if what we saw was good for the sport. I mean I expected a lot for the monies both men earned. Actually, IMO they are probably both OLDH and PBF are l probably aughing all the way to the bank while most of us are still arguing about the fight. I feel cheated really.

Then go watch MMA!!!! It is called boxing for a reason...."The Sweet Science" ring a bell...this fight wasn't a bunch of half-a**es trying to fight (MMA, K-1, PRIDE) this was boxing....you need to watch toughman contest if you want to see fights......oh yeah, before I forget, Here's your first SC.....have a great day!!!

I gave it an 9 I like chess matches and how many times can we expect two fighters of this skill level fight in the next few years? Not many.

I would also give a 9 to the Bautista fight, that was a very well-contested match-up.

i giv it a 10 ..... when is the last time u seen a good fight between popular fighters? dont compare it to leanord hearns but myweather did try to brawl at some points and didnt do to bad but it was going to win him and even fight and he did what he does best good fight i loved it
