The best Tito could of done was a draw im shocked so many people thought Tito won, because the rounds wern't really hard to score.
I have that same score card cept for the first two rounds. I think the seccond was clearly Tito's and the first was even. So I had Tito by 1.
Nothing happend in the first round and Tito landed the more meaningful blows in the seccond. DLH just jabbed.
But like I said, this is just my opinion. It really bothers me though when people call this a robbery. It was pretty damn close and Oscar only has himself to blame for what happend.
This fight is often reffered to as the night Tito got exposed like if he wasn't that good or overrrated. Fact is Oscar did a hell of a job and fought a nearly perfect fight for the better part of 9 rounds. It was the best of Oscar we had ever seen and it's a real shame that he didn't follow through and win the fight. But it also shows alot that Tito cooly weathered the storm and kept the fight close enought to pull out the W in the end. Nobody got exposed that night. It was just two great fighters that fought to a stalemate. And it's a black eye for boxing that the rematch never got made.

I'll re watch the 1st two rounds now.
Re: Lets Review Some Of Oscar De La Hoya's Controversial Fights.
Re watched the 1st round you could make an argument that the round was a draw but i still thought Oscar did land the better quality punches.
2nd round was close but Oscar edged it with his work in the final 15 seconds.

Well we could go back and forth on this all day long. That's why it was so controversial. Only one thing would've settled this argument and that was a rematch.
Re: Lets Review Some Of Oscar De La Hoya's Controversial Fights.
Oscar has been in a lot of great fights but most of his big matches,he has won narrowly and could hve gone either way.Quartey,Pernell. The same could be said of his losses,Tito,Shane. I change everytime I see the fight but for whats it worth,I thought he beat Quartey,drew with Pernell and drew/lost to Tito. He blew the Tito fight himself,that was the VERY definition of running and to do it in the biggest fight of your life was shocking and embaressing.

I agree, for the life of me I don't know what that judge was thinking. I can see maybe given DLH one more round but that is it.
DLH was doing alright though and if he had kept jabbing he might've pulled it off.
