Before this fight there was so much press about this mega fight "saving" boxing...and while i think that is being overly dramatic...this certainly was a HUGE chance for boxing to bring back a mainstream audience. Well...it's not going to happen...and we can blame both Floyd and Oscar for that. There was really no passion shown by either of these guys. After all the hype, knowing so much was on the line...they give us that?! Now, some of you boxing "purists" are gonna jump out of your seats screaming that Floyd exhibited tremendous skill and poise or that Oscar fought valiantly to no avail...blah, blah, blah. Bottom line....this was not a FIGHT....this was not two fighters who left their heart in the ring and give the MILLIONS of people watching, a show they could be excited about...instead...it was two fighters who wanted to make $$$ and not look bad. Sure, Oscar pressed the action a bit more and would try and land flurries....and every once in a while Floyd would pick his spot and throw a crisp shot...but is that it?! Oscar looked content with throwing flurries at the end of some rounds and going to the cards and Floyd also looked perfectly content with doing just enough to win 7-8 rounds and going home. So after all the hype, after 24/7, after all the talk of the importance of this fight in bringing good light and popularity back to boxing...this is the the result we get for one of the biggest fights in the history of the sport?! Would this fight have made fighters like Ali, Hagler, Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Chavez, etc....proud? Those fighters gave us a show. They exhibited their skill, heart, and sense of the dramatics. For me...the most exciting part of this fight was the last 10 seconds....the only time where you got a sense that both fighters just let go...trading hard punches till after the bell. Again, some of you so called boxing purists will try and persuade me that Floyd showed his defensive mastery and that Oscar tried to cut the ring off and that boxing isn't only about knockouts and going toe to toe, etc. But that is ultimately a cop out. Both these fighters should have realized the importance of this fight and had a sense for the kind of stage they where on. They could have thrilled us...but instead they put on a business like performance. S***...the interviews with Floyd Sr. where more entertaining than the actual fight.
