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

I think it was a good fight. I had it even in the 10th. DLH's lack of stamina caused him again in the last 2 rounds.

I give it an 8. Good not great.

What do you think.

It was better than a lot of other hype fights I have seen. I expected something less from Floyd. Credit to Oscar for blocking all those punches. Something no other fighter has been able to do against Mayweather Jr. Oscar came out of this fight unscaved. His defense and his hand speed is still pretty good. Stamina is the issue.
Oscar is no Gatti and Floyd is no Mayorga. Neither fighter was totaly dominate. Good tactical fight. I guess I can give it a 7 maybe an 8.

Good fight, but a great event. For action, 6/10... for boxing, 10/10.
Two master boxers at the top of their game. Oscar cut off the ring very well, but Floyd seemed to deflect most of his shots along the ropes. Oscar's defence was great too, he caught a lot of Floyd's shots on his gloves and forearms.
It was nip & tuck until the 10th, then Floyd opened up when he sensed Oscar was tiring. Oscar was fighting in short combination spurts, while Floyd was more consistently picking single shots.
The decision was the right one in my opinion, but like I said in another thread... I would never have begrudged Oscar a victory either. Close fight!
Boxing needed an event like that!

Good topic Rookie, and I'm sure I can spare you a CC.

Personally I thought it was very absorbing, and although it didn't get into the real Mexican style that Mayweather's fancy dress would suggest, I still enjoyed it and will probably watch it again when I get a minute.

Personally, I'd rate it as an 8. Good entertainment, and no suggestion of a letdown as it could have been.

I'll give it a 7.5. It was a great boxing match between two HOFers. It was 12 times better then ODLH vs B-Hop, I can tell you that much. 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 give it a 5. as much as I love boxing the fight was disappointing for me. I though floyd won, but these chess matches are boring. They both fought scared and did very little. I wish they would change the name of the sport to Fighting instead of Boxing.

Thanks my man. Would give you a CC back if I could. Will have to make a few more posts for that. HAHA but you are spot on it was very much absorbing and my hart was pumping all the way. Too bad Oscar ran out of gas at the end.

I think 7 is a fair score..being as so many hoped for a 10. But that was unrealistic in the first place.

You could tell Oscar wanted to make the fight at least be a little of the something I think he hoped it would be. The problem was floyd just plain doesn't care to entertain, he will just simply win in his tried and true manner which isn't very pleasing to a lot of fans, but is pleasing to his pocket book.

I'd give it a 6 or a 7, it was a good fight but not a great one. It was easy to watch, but I agree with those who say both men, particularily Floyd, looked a bit tentative or scared.

an 8 seems like a great number it was one of those rare fights that had my adrenaline pumping and it felt like i was mentally slowing down the fight to watch the whole thing in detail. Pretty good action i don't think it dissapointed and the ending decision was right.

i thought it was a pretty decent fight. i was nervous and excited the whole time.

i give it a 7 or 8

I give it a 6. Not a great fight, actually better than I thought it was going to be. I just don't find Floyd's fights that exciting. But this was a dramatic fight. I scored it 115-114 for Floyd. I hope he does not retire and fights the likes of Mosely, Margarito, or Cotto.

i give it a 6 i swear there where times when i could of heard a needle drop. I give it up to oscar he carried the fight he brought the excitement and the noise from the crowd, but once again floyd wins.

I give it a 9 it wasnt as much a brawl but was a awesome display of boxing from both fighters I loved this fight because every round was tense and if one of them slipped up for a second they could get into trouble.

It was oscar's fight for the taking, but he refused to punch enough. Every time oscar swarmed floyd on the ropes, it worked somewhat. he just didn't throw enough punches. Maybe mayweather is just too hard to hit?
