ODLH has the style to trouble mayweather and if he can get that left jab pumping for 12rounds........who knows!!!
Watched the fight numerous times.... Delahoya NEVER landed anything of meaning, Albeit the flurries on the ropes looked flashy but all were defended by Floyd.... Floyd dominated the last 1/2 of the fight and buzzed Delahoya 2x good and buckled his knees with a bodyshot..Quote:

115-113 to me is more than reasonable The fight was far from a draw
I think Oscar De La Hoya has some sort of mental block. In every big fight he seems to just blow the win. He had the Trinidad fight until he ran giving up the last round. He had the Mayweather fight if he only kept jabbing.
It is not like he did not find his niche until the late rounds but just stopeed using his recipe for success out of nowhere. Strange in my opinion.
Who knows how the rematch will play out. I suspect it will be a mirror of the first bout.
Tough to imagine a different outcome. If PBF was a little more aggressive early especially with that laser sharp straght right, I think we could see a stoppage. But most likely it will the same as the first time.Quote:

I second that Bro. I have to give it to PBF for beating a bigger ODLH but if Oscar did pump that jab more he definitely should've beaten PBF. ODLH definitely is not in his prime but in noway is he ready for the taking, I think ODLH beats PBF this time via a close UD.Quote:

Call me a cynic but Mayweather/DelaHypa 2 has less to do with a close debatable decision ( good buy line) and more to do with a cash cow payday.Really can not knock them for that I suppose.I think back to Mayweathers words after Hatton Victory and He has brought them to ferition..."Now I need a vacation..I'm not trying to call out any Welterweights.....Ive done what I had to do in the sport.I accomplished what I had to accomplish Now its time for me to become a promoter..." and here they are together,Cha-ching.I just dont see Oscar beating Mayweather but if he does pull it off,Can you say trilogy??...no thanks.Quote:

For future PPV of course, with other "O" fighters (Cotto), which Oscar will profit from.. Because Golden Boy Promotions & I love pretty school boys promotions are in Cahoots with all fights from now on.... It's worth it to Oscar to see Floyd remain unbeat,,, so if Floyd continues fighting, he's worth more $$$.. ODH v PBF II is a boxing conspiricy as far as I can see...... Although I love conspiracy so don't quote me as fact... Unless you can see it too..Quote:

Where are the smart people who used to post here anyways... god half the people in this thread have no idea what they are talking about.
Mayweather was by far the better fighter that night, he won most of the rounds, and Oscar couldn't hit him, he couldn't keep up with him, and he couldn't outlast him.
I thought this thing was signed and sealed ?
Not really interested - will be a rerun of the first and a waste of time.
Oscar has been great for boxing but he should move aside now and give the other more deserving guys a crack at Floyd - he ain't going to stick around too long
