Oscar De La Hoya: "I Thought I Won The Fight"
By Mark Vester

Shortly after Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was declared the winner of Saturday's fight against Oscar De Le Hoya by way of a split decision, De La Hoya told reporters that the decision should have gone the other way because he did enough to win the fight.

Judges Chuck Giampa and Jerry Roth had it for Mayweather, with scores of 116-112 and 115-113. Tom Kaczmarek, the third judge, had it for De La Hoya, with a score of 115-113.

"I thought I won the fight. I landed the harder, crisper punches," De La Hoya said. "I felt when I landed my punches I could see I was hurting him. If I hadn't pressed the fight, there would be no fight."

De La Hoya was not the only person to see it that way. Floyd Mayweather Sr., De La Hoya's former trainer, saw Oscar beating his son.

"I thought Oscar won the fight on points, threw more punches and was more aggressive," said Floyd Mayweather Sr. "My son had good defense and caught a lot of his punches, but I still thought Oscar pressed enough to win the fight."

As expected, his son did not agree with him.

"It was easy work for me," Mayweather said. "He was rough and tough but he couldn't beat the best."

Floyd took some nice shots. He did well in countering and fired off some nice shots of his own which backed Oscar up in the would be exchanges. I did not expect Floyd to counter but he used his hands wisely like no one else can. He also held Oscar enough to frustrate him.

CC 492 bro! thanks for that!

but i have a problem remembering the pic where oscars holding floyd decapitated head in the air? what round was that? :P
