That shocks me, it really does.
115 - 113 all three for DLH, What a surprise
All three judges score the bout 115-113 for Oscar De La Hoya. He wins the
WBO middleweight belt.
Maxboxing scores the bout 115-113 for Sturm
Purist, you are a genius.............
Wait!!! De La hoya wins barely!!! Whew. God I really thought Strum won but oh well. The fight is on!!!
Yes I am, I know boxing, I was gonna say Pernell Whitaker all over again, but Strum is no Pernell, but same result none the less.
memphis, I am proud of you for staying up late.
Must dash people, have to pick the missus up from the casino!!!
Naw, I would have bet my house on Oscar (if I had a house,) to win by UD, because I know boxing, politics and all, why do you think I never wanted to turn professional.
I'm still going with De La Hoya over Hopkins in September even with that shitty preformance tonight by both fighters. :o
Hopkins's performance wasn't s**** it was masterful boxing, nobody said Masterful boxing had to be entertaining.
But Oscar is losing to Hopkins, but if it goes the distance, Oscar wins, because, who does the boxing media want to be the Middleweight Champion, the Golden Boy, who's quiet, and good personality for the boxing media, or would they like Hopkins, who will always say what he feels even if he had a *** to his head.
Media and politics choose Oscar, Hopkins has to stop him.
I was impressed with Sturn. it was my first time seeing him. i thought Sturn won 8 to 4, but Knew he wasnt getting the decision. Hopkins will put DLH away inside of 8.
Hopkins was having a difficult time with the Deadbeat Allen, how can he beat DLH. DLH has proven it over and over again that he is one of the greatest. This was a good fight for him because it will prepare him for Hopkins. If DLH was able to beat Fernando Vargas with steroids, he is able to beat Hopkin's without.
yeah, and DLH just got another "Gift" from the judges, against an unknown from Germany, so your point is ???Quote:

DLH goes life or death 115-113, if I had to pick who is a better fighter during that tougher time, i'd pick Hopkins.
psst.
All boxers take notes, this could be the secret strategy on how to have a chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Gatti better be taking notes ;)
DLH better be thinking of a way to get out of fighting Hopkins, i know its a win win situation for DLH because noone really expects him to win and he gets a s*** load of money losing. OK its worth taking the fight even if i get a beating.
Hopkins fought this poor boy that he has beaten twice. How can this even be a fight. If he would not beat this boy tonight it would be embarrassing. I don't scare about the scorecard. His performance was very lackluster.
DLH fought a champ who is rated high regardless of your opinion. DLH will have too much speed for Hopkins. Hopkins is too old and slow. He is past his prime. DLH will fight anyone and his fights bring the money and the spectators.
My point is: DLH is the money maker and he will fight anyone. He will not dodge any fighter, unlike other fighters.
