Hmmm maybe it was the hype that surrounded this fight. I was really expecting more excitement hoping each fighter will try to dominate or at the very least have a distinct defining moment. After all the great fights we have watched prior to this fight (castillo vs. corrales etc. . .), this fight left me numb and uninvolved. I even felt more at awe when Mayweather gave Baldomir a lesson in boxing (that was sweet science). In this fight I had it even coming to the last 3 rounds. Then maybe Mayweather pulled ahead but really no defining moment in this fight. Maybe it was all the hype but Boxing needs more excitement than this. Sorry I know I may get some sad clicks but I have seen better fights with great boxers taking calculated risks. I even appreciated the Bautista fight with the Argentinian. Clearly both wanted to make a statement. What did each fighter prove in this match? We already knew Mayweather could box and evade. We also knew that OLDH can pour it on with a series of punches. Maybe this should have gone 15 rounds and then we would have probably seen some excitement during the championship rounds (14 and 15). Remember the fight between Sugar Ray and the hitman Hearns? Ali Frazier thrilla in Manila? Now those were exciting fights.
