Final poll time...Who will win? Oscar or Floyd?

**Jaybee from UK** · 05-03-2007 06:53 PM

Leaving aside controversial decisions, I'm picking Floyd to outland DLH, Compubox will tell you how much PBF outlanded him, and their respective faces will tell you who landed hardest. Don't see a KO either way.

116-112, although a bum decision could push that to a draw or even a DLH win. I also have a feeling Mayweather won't fight as cleanly as he has and get a point deducted sometime.

Jaybee.

Oscar by knockout.

Floyd is using Reyes gloves?

I didn't know that... that will probably improve his speed, but his hands will be less protected now. Why isn't he using Winning brand gloves for this fight? I would have thought he would need protection for his hands now more than ever.

Oscar had it in the contract, they would both have to use Reyes gloves.

I can't see that as anything other than an advantage for Oscar... Mayweather will be quicker, but his hands will do well to hold up without injury for the entire fight. The Winning gloves also provided better cover when he was defending himself.
Makes things more interesting!

Wont have an impact on his speed... no matter what glove he picked if he could, would have been the same weight. Its just a matter of having more padding in the knuckle, or more on the wrist

Yeah, but the other gloves were bigger in size... aerodynamics.

The reyes gloves seem really compact compared to the Winning gloves.
I'm changing my pick to Oscar by KO.

Floyd by UD. Like most people I think it will be close early, but Floyd will adapt to Oscars style/gameplan and dominate the latter half of the fight.

I predict a KO for Oscar in a performance no one thought he was capable of at this stage in his career.

Oscar has never been a pressure fighter.... Why would he start at 34, and when he has had to be even the least bit of agressive, he looks uncomfortable doing it
