Mayweather-De La Hoya Revisited

[Hop]

Has anyone else carefully re-watched and scored 2007's superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya? I did and felt it was much close than what most people parrot.

My final tally was 115-114, Mayweather. (If you're wondering, I scored round 3 even -- after watching it probably half a dozen times.)

Anyone else have or remember their own scorecard? Just curious. I think it's funny that to listen to some of Floyd's most mindless adulators -- you'd think it was a shining, one-sided schooling by 'Money May'.

Oscar won 3 or 4 rds, clear Floyd victory
rewatch/rescore for fun if you choose to do so
but there's no confusion to be cleared up, SD was bullshit
another fight where the expected loser simply did better than he shoulda

I had it 7-5 Mayweather.

Here was my round by round scoring:

1) 10-9, Mayweather
2) 10-9, DLH
3) 10-10, Even
4) 10-9, DLH
5) 10-9, Mayweather
6) 10-9, DLH
7) 10-9, DLH
8) 10-9, DLH
9) 10-9, Mayweather
10) 10-9, Mayweather
11) 10-9, Mayweather
12) 10-9, Mayweather

Final tally: 115-114, Mayweather (6 rounds Mayweather, 5 rounds De La Hoya, 1 even)

In my opinion, the closest rounds were 3, 6, 8, & 9.

Final note: I was also surprised I didn't like the fight more. Wasn't at all a favorite of mine. Actually not that compelling or interesting for me. Not bad, but a bit too cautious throughout for my likes. Glad I processed it, though.

I gave Oscar 2 or 3 rounds.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Honestly,, watching it live i gave it a draw,,,, oscar started fast, but then faded mid rounds,, but then i thought made a comeback of sorts and split the championship rounds with floyd..

after rewatching it a few times, floyd won but it was close,,, 115-113 or 116-112,,,,,

If they fought prime, i would pick oscar to beat floyd IMO

[Scott9945]

I didn't think the fight was that close, around 9-3 I think. But I also have no interest in ever watching it again.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I gave Oscar 2 or 3 rounds.

That's absurd,,,,, 2 rounds for oscar,,,,,, maybe 3.......

I think your talking out your arse on this one....... I usually agree with your statements, but this is absurd,,

2 rounds,,, you have to be kidding

i agree how you can watch things multiple times and get different results,,,

to give may all the last 5 rounds is kinda bogus, if you ask me,,
no disrespect, i just think the latter rounds were very close,,, may def dominated the mid rounds, and oscar the early rounds,,,,

but i guess that is why they have 3 judges,,, to each his own my good friend
