That was one of the weakest responses and/or explanations I've ever heard after a fighter basically threw away the biggest fight of his life. This was worse than the Tito fight. At least he can say he was decisively winning that one then he tried to coast but against Floyd Oscar had to realize that he needed every round in order to win a decision. Floyd did his usual thing, he talked a big game then danced around landing his pitter-pat shots one at a time. He is extremely slick and sooooo difficult to hit but shut up with this greatest of all time crap, it makes me sick. Oscar's late round performance was dissappointing. As he has in other big fights he just dissappeared down the stretch, the CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS, when great fighters are supposed to shine. Were this fight between two other fighters it would have been great but with the skills that these two possess I expected more.
It isnt about all that your putting too much on it! He was just fine as he was fighting! Alot of Mayweathers punches were blocked I only saw Oscars head fly back twice in that fight! I cant count the times Floyds head went backwards! Oscar was also the aggresser through out that fight some fail to see. The judges werent the kind that look for that either I guess. You should have expected the youngster to be the aggresser not the vet! I won my bet but I thought Oscar won that fight and have seen it at least 5 times and nothing changes my mind. And if others have there thoughts thats ok too! But to me Oscar won and when I see him next time I will congraulate him for a great fight that should have been a win!
