Yet another Big Fight thread - Big H's view
I had Oscar winning 5 of the first 8 rounds. but faded down the stretch and lost the last 4 (115-113 PBF) A lot of similarities here, in terms of people's scoring of the fight, with Taylor v Wright. People that think Floyd walked away with it need to look at just how many punches landed on Oscar's gloves and and arms and therefore DO NOT SCORE.
That said Floyd did do enough imo
There is an argument that a prime Floyd only jusT beat a very far from prime Oscar De L Hoya, but nuff respect he was fighting a bigger guy (although they only weighed 2 pounds different on their debuts, i.e natural sizes ;) )
Great fight - loved it
Re: Yet another Big Fight thread - Big H's view
Was it enough to just let Oscar tire out and not even live up to his ( Mayweathers) big promises ?
Mayweather is a coward and an empty bin ....from the point of view of a massacre and the confrontation he promised along with him making ''Oscar his bitch'?..........
I give him 0.000000000%

To be fair, people then would also have to look at many of De La Hoya's "flurries", and see how a lot of those punches were more for show and didn't connect.

So if floyd came out and said he'd beat Oscar by a split decision, you'd respect that?
And your feelings towards his performance are based on his talk?
What difference does it make?
Floyd won the fight regardless of how he said he'd win it.
Come on, I expect people on this board to understand the nature of trash talk.

Yeh that's true, but I think in comparison, the power shots that were landed came more from DLH, but as I said scoring each round on it's own merit, I think PBF won more rounds and won the fight. Would have been interesting if DLH had a bit more in the tank to see how applying presssure for 60 seconds per round (instead of 30) would've affected the fight.

I don't know that I agree with the power punch thing, Big H. Although Oscar definitely threw more punches, Floyd was more accurate. The stats bore that out. If anything, I thought Floyd could've thrown more combinations. With his hand speed, some of the followup punches would've landed cleanly.
And you're right about the 30-second bit. Oscar should've pressed the action throughout more of each round. Not just the last 30 seconds. To the knowledgeable fight fan (and judge), that's just too transparent.
