Buy the hype: ODLH vs PBF on May 5, 2007 will be a CLASSIC!!!

[Kel]

The only way this fight lives up to the hype is if Floyd backs up his big talk of standing toe to toe with Oscar. If Floyd does the smart thing, which there is 99.9% chance of him doing, he will use his speed and dance his way to victory. If there is that ever so slight chance of him actually trying to war it out with Oscar...he will taste the canvas. Floyd has been caught and stunned by lesser fighters than Oscar...so if he plays around and catches one from the bigger and stronger man...he will be out. Oscar is also excellent at finishing off a fighter when he has them in trouble. Oscar of course would relish exchanging with Floyd...Oscar has a great chin and even though he is not a young buck...he is still an accurate and strong puncher with good technique and still quite good speed. BUT, most likely...Floyd will use his speed and stay on the outside and away from that left hook...he will just peek away and stay safe. Not sure if they have decided on a smaller ring....because a smaller ring will definitely make things a bit more interesting. Either way...Floyd is in a lose, lose situation. if he wins by dancing and not really exchanging...people will get on him. If he is stupid enough to try and war it out...he will stand a good chance of being hurt. I'm rooting for Oscar, but i think Floyd will win by decision.

Floyd said the same for the Baldomir fight didnt he?

It's all said to sell the fight and everybody knows it. Oscar is a great fighter......he is past his prime but he is STILL a great fighter. I have hated many of Floyds fights because of the 'running' but maybe he is just being smart (even though not crowd pleasing)

Floyd beats anyone with his speed if he wants to. Boring or not, winning is winning I suppose.

I regard Floyd as one of the most gifted fighters ever to grace the sport.......but I will never be a fan at the end of the day.

Trinidad vs Oscar had the MAKINGS of a classic just like this one too

Trust me...Wacko's definently buying the hype...all the way to Las Vegas baby!!!!

Got my room on reserve & me plane ticks bwought!

NICE finally u make your way to the 702 bro! u gonna be delegating your powers of thet DRBR to a less powerful saddonean or u gonna bring ya lap top with ya hahaa. what casino u staying at bro? what level of tickets will u be buying? hollaaaaaaar

MGM Grand.

Floor or ringside. Probably going to be taking in the laptop & doing the DRBR & then shooting it in all at once if at all possible. Also bringing the camera if they'll let me...that all just depends.

Gonna try to either shoot or type...or bofemz!

Are you seriously going to take your laptop? I hope your close enough to ringside for us all to see you. I'm pretty sure a man typing away on a computer keyboard ringside frantically in between rounds would draw at least a couple of witty remarks from Larry Merchant if he saw.

Larry: What is that strange Amish looking man doing on his typewriter Jim?

Jim: It's called a computer Larry and no I have absolutely no idea what he is doing!

Larry: I wander Jim, if Oscar is feeling the pressing of fingers against his chin right now Jim, will Floyd soon hit the return key?

Jim: I have no idea what you are talking about Larry.
