Anybody going to watch it tonight? Who is everybody pulling for? if a thread like this has been posted. TOugh
De la Hoya by knockout! You heard it here first! When he lands that left hook Mosley will drop like a stone.
de la hoya said his hand was injured. maybe he was playing it up to mosley so he doesn't expect it. or in case he loses, he can say that it was his left hand.
OMG, that was proof boxing is corrupt! De La hoya threw twice as many punches and landed twice as many punches. Thats Bull$hit judging.
De La Hoya was robbed. No doubt it was a great fight, but there is no way in hell that Sugar Shane walks away with a unanomous decision.
Time to start that mariachi band. does anybody else think it was fixed or something? its as de la hoya didn't even care.
I thought Oscar won as well, but the guys from ESPN that were there thought Shane won while watching it live. They were surprised to see the punch stats in favor of Oscar and thought Shane had much more power shots, who had a better % but fewer of them. Also mentioned that the punch stats only show total stats and not round-by-round. I think their example was Team A scoring more than Team B but at the end of the season, Team B could have scored them at the right times. Basically, watching it live is different than on TV and it was a VERY close fight is what they were saying.
This is just BS, really. No excuses for this. This fight is fixed! Boxing is so corrupt it's ridiculous. Are you sure about that RC Cola? The power punches look extrmely even to me. <a href='http://msn.espn.go.com/boxing/news/2003/0913/1615442.html'>ESPN's Round By Round Scoring</a>
I think I kind of said it in a confusing way. The ESPN guys watching it ringside THOUGHT Shane had more landed power shots, who had a better %. But, in reality, Oscar had landed more power shots, I believe, than Shane. I'm just going on what they are saying, which is that this was a close fight and people had different views on who won.
when i heard "all three judges scored it 15 to 13", I was sure Delahoya haaaad won. I remember through out the fight, the corner cutscenes showed Mosley's dad telling him to dig deep and in the last round, told him to let it all go for a knockout. Even Shanes dad thought he was losing. I was shocked, but these kinds of things happen when u leave it to a decision. UGGGH! Oh well, in the end Oscar still came out with 17 million! Not bad for losing a fight.
