Good match. Pretty Boy won by SD.

I was hoping Oscar would just knock him out. Knew it wouldn't happen but, man. I was happy it was unanimous though.

So whose next for Floyd Mayweather? Sean Sherk, perhaps?

After oscar, there's really noone out there. Floyd said he would retire but that's . But it's really going to take a lot of money to get floyd to fight after this.

For real...i guess the usa should just except it...floyd's the most dominant fighter of our time...manny P is to small and floyd cant go any bigger....i mean oscar lookeed like a giant campard to him during the fight...thats the only reason it was somewhat close...maybe miguel cotto???? i dont know

Floyd Mayweather

It was a split decision, not unanimous. The first judge gave it to De La Hoya, then the next two gave it to Mayweather. The last judge scored it 115-113 I believe, and was the only judge who had Mayweather winning the last round. I thought De La Hoya took that round easily, especially with the power punches he closed with. If that judge scored it the way it seemed, it woulda been 114-114, and it would have been tied. But, thats boxing for ya. Honestly, If De La Hoya had won the fight, I would be convinced that this sport is fixed. Pretty Boy dominated the fight. De La Hoya threw so many punches and landed something like 20% of them. After each round, they showed the punching stats, and De La Hoya always threw about 20-25 more punches than Mayweather, but would only land about 15-20% of them (maybe less). Meanwhile, Mayweather was consistently landing over 40% of his punches.

Good fight overall, although I was hoping for a bit more, at least one knockdown. I wasn't expecting one, but it would have been sweet to see one of them go down once. And, BTW, I don't know how anyone could have or would have put money on De La Hoya. I was at the bar watching the fight, and so many people were pissed because they lost money on the fight. I just didn't get it.

I know it was split. I mean't to type out wasn't unanimous, and I thought I did.

The first judge went 115-113 De La Hoya, second went something like 120-108, last was 115-113. One round was just flat out horrible for Oscar when he only landed 8 punches. And he didn't go for Floyd's face much, mostly body shots which yeah, were hitting his arms.

I'm a big UFC guy and after all the shit Mayweather talked about UFC, they offered him $2 million to fight Sean Sherk and he declined, probably because he knows he'd get his ass kicked.

Well said, HHF. I'm a big MMA/UFC fan myself. Sherk would destroy Fair-weather easily. I love how boxing's "biggest" name had to defend his own sport at one of it's own events. Ugh...boxing is dying such a slow death it's comical.

In re: my previous response to your other post, here's an idea:

Mike Tyson vs. Ken Shamrock!

[ganggreen_ewok]

In a man on man fight I'd give it to a pro boxer, I'm sorry. They are more finessely trained, quicker and faster because they can only use their hands. Plus Mayweather is a straight up thug, nobody could touch him. Put this in perspective:

The UFC fight- 2 million for a smaller fight in which Floyd has no experience in, less publicity, and less endorsent deals, PLUS he risks injury

The De La Hoya fight- 40 million and counting, where if he does injure himself, it'll be in a sport hes owns and he wouldn't get criticized for jeopardizing his career. When you make that kind of money 2 mil is chump change, couldn't even make the down payment on his house. The man carries around at least 30k in his pockets wherever he goes.
