Do you thinks that Oscar vs Floyd will be an another imitation fight ?

[C-Lo]

I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed Hoya/Mayweather. I thought Hoya had MAyweather's number and was doing great till he hit the wall and ran out of gas going into the last few rds.

I'm not 100% sure. But if I remember correctly, by round 6 I had De La Hoya winning the fight by a good margin. Then De La Hoya got too cautious and then Mayweather began to pop him.

Some articles say that De La Hoya looked good late against Forbes but I'll tell you this, Forbes isn't Mayweather.

Oscar didn't come close to winning the first half of the fight... to have him ahead by a good margin is insane

Really? Mayweather just backed up and let Oscar miss but definitely didn't throw much back. Even though Oscar didn't land anything flush, he IMO landed good enough to win the rounds. You can't win rounds by not throwing punches.

I don't want this to get confused by me saying that Floyd lost. I thought Floyd won a somewhat comfortable fight but for the first 6 rounds, De La Hoya put the pressure on.

TAETH...

...Just wondering, I wanted to know why you thought Oscar was in no way winning the fight through 6?

Delahoya didn't get cautious in the last few rds...he got tired. He no longer could pull the trigger because his body wouldn't let him. He fought so tight early in the fight and was dead even with Floyd going into the last 3 rds. Then he just hit the wall with fatigue and it was painfully obvious. I thought he blew the fight just as he did in the 1st Mosley fight. If he can box, move and relax like he did in the 2nd Mosley fight...he'll beat Floyd. Reguardless of the decision, Hoya beat Shane in the 2nd fight.
