Just saw the fight. a few things I'd like to say
1) Oscar looked spectacular because of who he had in front of him. Look at the kind of boxer Oscar is, and look at Mayorga who throws wide shots, has no defense, leaves his chin open, and never puts his hands up. Oscar fought guys in his pro debut that had better form then Mayorga does. Was Oscar supposed to look anything "other" then spectacular.
2) Trinidad. Don't be fooled by also the Trinidad factor, look at how Trinidad looked against Mayorga, and then when he actually fought someone in Winky Wright he was destroyed very easily. This is because Mayorga's style helps you look spectacular and 6 years younger, but when you're at that level, you are supposed to look spectacular against a guy like that.
3) Don't overhype Oscar in this fight, he looked the way he was supposed to because of Mayorga's style and who he had in front of him, but despite all that I am still worried that Mayorga was able to win rounds from Oscar, and that uppercut in the 3rd has me worried if he ever fought an accurate puncher like a Mayweather. This is a fight to look at what Oscar didn't do, because given Mayorga's style, there was only one thing he was going to do.
