I'm not 100% sure. But if I remember correctly, by round 6 I had De La Hoya winning the fight by a good margin. Then De La Hoya got too cautious and then Mayweather began to pop him.

Some articles say that De La Hoya looked good late against Forbes but I'll tell you this, Forbes isn't Mayweather.

Delahoya didn't get cautious in the last few rds...he got tired. He no longer could pull the trigger because his body wouldn't let him. He fought so tight early in the fight and was dead even with Floyd going into the last 3 rds. Then he just hit the wall with fatigue and it was painfully obvious. I thought he blew the fight just as he did in the 1st Mosley fight. If he can box, move and relax like he did in the 2nd Mosley fight...he'll beat Floyd. Reguardless of the decision, Hoya beat Shane in the 2nd fight.
