While Sweet P wasn't at his best therre can be no denying that he fought his a** off and fought well against Oscar, but certainly he had been on the decline for a couple years even.. Before this fight he had eeked out 2 close decisions over Wilfredo Rivera, and lost most rounds being dropped twice early against Disableys Hurtado... In the prefight's Whittaker didn't even sound confident.. I remember reading one interview with him where he almost sounded like he expected DLH to win.. Saying things like he very well may lose the fight, anyone can get caught with a big punch, etc...

Pernell Whitaker won that fight 7-5 rounds IMO.
i agree with that and if he hadnt had point tooking away it would of been 7 rounds to 4 or one even or something like that been while since i seen it
