I just watched the fight again and I thought the fight should have been stopped in the 7th but after the 8th it seemed obvious to everyone including Oscar that the fight might just have to be stopped. Should we stop the fight were the words that were being repeated over and over to Oscar by several of his people in the corner (Paramos la pelea?)
Oscar: No tengo nada. (I have nothing)
Those were his last words.
I know this must have been hard for him he looked like he wanted someone to save him but his pride would not let him say "please let's stop this fight." He looked lost sitting in his corner totally defeated. I am glad his corner was able to read Oscar's body language and deformed face and gestures and see that indeed Oscar had enough and was done.
How do you get owned by a midget?
Speaking of midgets, oh little Ricky what are you going to do? Manny said he is coming to the 140 lb division
Now we didn't expect Manny to fight Margarito or Williams did we?
Once again, now you all see why Floyd ducked Tony and even Cotto for that matter.
I think Oscar will retire, I hope Oscar does retire as he should. Oscar has done all he can and along the way he made himself and others very wealthy.
Thank you ODLH for all that you have done. You have done more than any boxer could have dreamed of, you were a champion in 5 different weight classes, a gold medalist and you even have a statue in your honor, now go on and retire because you "have nothing" left as you said on your stool before the fight was stopped. Many will miss you especially those who wanted to get rich while having the honor to step into the ring with you. You will be missed by all wether they liked you or not.
