The second fight was not as good and Oscar won that.
I remember the fight like you do Master. I thought it was a great fight with tons of action. Shane eked it out in the later rounds thanks to slightly better conditioning. Oscar always had issues with Shane’s style and speed, although I agree that he likely edged the rematch (except where the judges were concerned).
I also remember it the same Master. Wasn't it the cover of one of the old boxing games as well?

As for the rematch, I thought De La Hoya won, but Mosley also admitted to being on substances. Unusual that they never pushed for that result to be changed to a no contest.
