Floyd by UD12 and ive voted he could even pull out a stoppage if Oscar runs out of gas but more likely to be UD12
FM ud12
Gotta feeling Floyd will put in a career defining performence !
But Oscar has been here i hope it lives up to the hype !
Im Gripped by fever part of me doesnt want to admit that Floyds trash talking has got me aching for May 5th ....... coming to terms with it slowly .
Knock him out Oscar .
If Floyd can win his share of the early rounds then it is a possibility he will turn it up for the latter stages in the interest of the recognition he will gain. Going by history he will play it safe.Quote:

I hope Oscar gets his ass handed to him, I read he tried to give Floyd Sr guest tickets......He's just needs to stay out of the father and son rocky relationship.
Floyd by decision for me too.
Like the Judah fight, for the first few rounds it will be cagey and tense, but I see Floyd pulling away down the stretch due to his ability to adapt and his superior fitness.
Floyds an awesome talent lets forget the trash talking its just to sell the fight boxers have done this for years the guy is an amazing boxer i hope he does'nt retire lets enjoy him
so many what ifs!Quote:

The only thing that makes me think Oscar has a chance is that FM is on record as saying its gonna be a massacre and he's ' going to war ' and that wouldn't suit him , i think saying it in front of the whole world and then Ice Skating to victory will not do anything for a Mayweather Legacy .
Oscar is very strong at the weight and Mayweathers performences against Judah and Baldomir have me ummm and ahhhing .
I think it will be all Mayweather cos its an old Oscar .
Mayweathers 30 but Oscar is only 34
Floyd by UD... But I am just as confident as a Floyd TKO...  Reyes gloves will benefit Floyd too with his accurate stinging accumalative damage....
By the 3rd round it is apparent Oscar cant hang, by round 5 he tries opening up more and leaves himself open for more counters, by round 9 Oscar is fatigued as usual and is even in more rough shape from the beating... By 10 its stopped by ref or Roach in the corner
But Mayweather is at the top of the totem pole and has won all of his recent fights. Sturm beat Oscar too (yes, he did!!!). That makes his recent record look all the more flawed too. Oscar has only looked good against Mayorga in his last 2 years as a pro...He loses more than he wins.Quote:

Im with you miles but perhaps if you put in the fact that Oscar is fighting at his natural fighting weight he was out of his depth at middle it evens things up abit as it is Mayweathers first fight at 154lbs
And perhaps put in that Oscar has fought about once in 2 years.....Oscar should use his speed and work well. This is hardly Hagler: Hearns IMOQuote:

You missed my point. I never said that you said it was Hagler: HearnsQuote:

116-112, although a bum decision could push that to a draw or even a DLH win. I also have a feeling Mayweather won't fight as cleanly as he has and get a point deducted sometime.
Jaybee.
Oscar by knockout.
Floyd is using Reyes gloves? :oQuote:

Oscar had it in the contract, they would both have to use Reyes gloves. ;)Quote:

J/K ;D
Floyd by UD. Like most people I think it will be close early, but Floyd will adapt to Oscars style/gameplan and dominate the latter half of the fight.
I predict a KO for Oscar in a performance no one thought he was capable of at this stage in his career.
good man. im picking oscar to stop him aswell. i think floyd will frustrate oscar a lot but i dont think floyd can stay out of oscars way all night and i reckon oscar will be to much for him.Quote:
