Mayweather will put De La Hoya into retirement for good...

Mayweather by unanimous Decision. Something like 8-4.

Hopefully Mayweather will be able to back up all of his talk.

I am hoping for a De La Hoya win, but I don't see how Oscar can match Mayweather's speed. Mayweather in a decision.

No it was a good fight... and this business about Mayweather running!? He fought the fight a smaller guy had to fight to win!

AND HE WON! POUND FOR POUND BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD.

De La Hoya shouldn't have even won the card he did - he was just flailing... look at the compubox numbers.

From ESPN.com:

Ringside punching stats favored Mayweather heavily, crediting him with landing 207 of 481 punches to 122 of 587 for De La Hoya. Mayweather also landed more power punches than De La Hoya, outscoring him 138-82.

That one.

I know De La Hoya pushed the action, but most of the time he was just throwing wild punches... a bunch of the punches he landed were the ones to the body while they were clinched. He also got away with at least two low blows and was warned about his elbows.

Me just thinks nobody likes Pretty Boy Floyd.

This fight wasn't close.Mayweather outclassed De La Hoya,.He landed the bigger blows,the only reason some people think De La Hoya won is,because the crowd went wild when he landed even one punch.I counted a few times when Oscar went 2 minutes without hitting Floyd.

A) If you thought it was a bad fight, you probably aren't a boxing fan. I thought it was a great fight. Mayweather proved again that he has the best defense in boxing. A boxing match doesn't have to have both guys standing toe-to-toe slugging it out for it to be a great fight.

B) If you thought Oscar won, you wasted your money because you really don't know much about boxing. Just because you THROW a lot of punches doesn't mean you LAND a lot of punches. I just watched the fight for the second time, and both times you can see that almost every punch the crowd goes wild on were blocked or ducked.

C) When a fighter throws less punches than his opponent but lands more punches, there is no credible argument that said fighter should ever lose said fight. Not only did he land a much greater percentage (about 2-1) he landed more punches. I'm pretty sure someone else put the stats up. If you disagree with the numbers provided, go back and watch the fight yourself and honestly think about how many punches actually hit Mayweather. If you look at it without any bias, you will realize that Mayweather won the fight atleast 7-5, but more like 8-4.

Most of De La Hoya's punches landed on the arms. Pretty Boy Floyd owned this fight.

in street fight terms, if both woulda been gloveless, de la hoya owned him.. even mayweathers dad said that at the end..
Bobama
Yea, Mayweather's dad is the source I go to everytime I want insight.

It's boxing... not UFC.

It was a good fight and I can't believe De La Hoya actually got a decision in his favor.

Why would one compare boxing to street fighting? Thats like saying New England would have defeated the Colts last year had they been playing rugby!!! Im at a loss?

Mayweather's dad is a dope. His son just won the fight and he is siding with the golden dud. Can you imagine how you would feel if your father did some such?

Maybe the dad and golden dud need to get a room.:yay:

Of course De La Hoya threw more punches then Mayweather because Mayweather is a counterpuncher.

If De La Hoya would of threw his jab properly instead of forgetting about it after round 5 or 6, he would of had a better chance in the fight.
