Oscar sparks him inside 8 rounds O0
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
I think Oscar will win too. PTS though, most likely a SD.
I just can't envisage Mayweather getting knocked out. His defence is to good for that.

That said with this much money involved, I'll be putting a bet on a draw and a Floyd sd... ;)
Than Oscar?
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
The weight differential shouldn't even be a factor. Only a fool would stand toe-to-toe and Floyds not come this far to roll the dice now...
:scratchchin:
Y'know, It's saying something about Floyds skill that I'm giving ODH a punchers chance :o
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
Thing is,PBF is gonna be expected to back up his mouth so in that respect he'll trade (or try to,early on) purely on ego alone ;)
I have no doubt that Oscar will dismantle him at some point :)
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
He's always been this gobby but come fight night he never deviates from the plan. He's a pro.
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
I think the weight is a factor. Oscar is the best fighter, hardest puncher and smartest guy Floyd has ever faced.
I also don't think the fight would even be happening if Oscar wasn't seriously confident he would win...either way I don't see Oscar sparking him and don't see the complete shutout for Floyd. Close fight.
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
Im looking forward to this more and more as it gets closer, interesting to see how opinions are fairly evenly split for this one. Im still thinking (and hoping) that Oscar can get the better of Mayweather. Although I'd love knock out Im thinking probably points.

Floyds conceeded just about every advantage to do this fight on DLHs terms. Now that's confidence.
Oscar is all the attributes you mention but that split second he may have lost due to inactivity and age will be enough to seperate the two, I feel.
Great that a fight is so close to call for once aint it? 8)
Re: Catch the OSCAR v Floyd build up only on Sky (starts tonight)
Can't think of a fight in recent years that really excited me as much O0
Gonna be wicked

True. Although I thought $12m had more to do with it ;)
I agree with you about Oscar's inactivity and age but don't think the Oscar supporters should use it as an excuse (obviously they will should he lose) considering he looked superb last time out...all be it against the antithesis of Mayweather...

Thats not that hard to do.
After watching the program I tried it and it was easy enough.
