Yep by round 3 the De La Hoya nostalgia will be out the window and people will realize its May 5th 2007 not May 5th 2000... It will be apparent early on that Floyd is way to much for Oscar
I agree with JT,around rounds 5/6,people will realise Floyd is just too dam quick for Oscar.
Oscar wouldn't have taken the fight if he didn't think he could handle Floyd's speed (and lack of power ).

I thought he should steamroll Floyd in the first couple of rounds and then settle back behind the jab, but I think the opposite could work too. If comes out guns blazing and is unsuccessful then he has quickened the time it will take for Floyd to figure him out and find a rhythm.

Oscar might be better served controlling the tempo with his jab early on and steal rounds with a flurry in the last 30 seconds ala Ray Leonard. Floyd isn't going to swap punches when Oscar comes in both hands swinging and like someone said earlier the judges won't care if the majority of punches don't even land. (I could be quoting Wacko?)
