Good man. When I originally saw the fight,I thought Oscar won easily and thought it was one of the biggest robberies I have seen.

However,upon review,I noticed alot of the things you notived Rookiefan. I thought the commentary,the replays,the crowd,everything was in Oscar's favour. The repays would show his punches,the commentators especially Lampley kept gloating about how amazing he was and the crowd would cheer even if he missed. (HBO does this with alot of their fighters )This all influences the person watching the fight so I watched it without sound and it was much closer than I originally thought.

I agree with nearly all your points especially on the jabs aspect. Jabs are good,scoring punches but I tkae a power shot over a jab as the criteria is clean,hard,punching,which alot of people forget. That's where your points come into play.

I think a draw would have been the best result. Just out of interest,anyone have punch stats for the fight?
Thanks for your comments and CC for understanding what I'm trying to say.

It don't bother me if you saw the fight one way or another, I'm not trying to make you see it my way. I'm just pointing out that this fight was extremely close and no one got dominated at any point. Even when DLH was out boxing Tito and winning the fight, I did not get the impresion he was dominating Tito. Both guys did a great job and it was a solid fight. In a funny way, I think it was up to that point their finest hour and their worst hour all at once. If you all understand what I mean....
