De La Hoya v Whitaker Reevaluated

[BIG H]

Ok, so after a discussion with Brazilian Bomber about this fight and since it was a long time ago that I saw it I thought I'd better watch again and actually score the fight round by round. CC for the Game for getting me the fight

I said before that I didn't see how anybody could score the fight for Whitaker, well now I can , so sorry Brazilian Bomber and CC to you, it was much closer than I remembered. I actually scored the fight a draw when watching tonight - here is my card

De La Hoya Whitaker

9 1 10
10 2 9
10 3 8 (Point deducted for but)
9 4 10
9 5 10
10 6 9
10 7 9
10 8 9
8 9 10
10 10 9
9 11 10
10 12 9

114 - 113


I think if you were scoring more for power punches, you may give the edge to De La Hoya, if you were scoring for all punches landed, you may give the edge to Whitaker. I tried to be objective and take both into consideration

Really enjoyed the fight 2nd time round

What's everybodies opinions ?
