Who will win?

[Horsehead]

^ Even though he's made unforgivably bad, vomit-inducing pop records, I have to root for my local boy De la Hoya. He bugs me and I've disliked him during much of his career, but I've grown to appreciate his persistence in recent years.

De la Hoya TKO in the 9th. :cool:

[YOUNGSTARS87]

TKO? The only person getting that would be De La Hoya, Mayweather is the best pound for pound for a reason.

I think it will go the distance with Mayweather winning on the cards. If not De La Hoya knocked out by the 8th, 9th or 10th.

Mayweather Jr. wins!!!




Youngstars87: "What I learned last night"

1. De La Hoya's wife is fine....

2. Mayweather Jr. and Sr. look identical... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, you tell me.

3. Mayweather Sr. looks as both his son and Oscar De La Hoya as sons. I'm sure it was bitter sweet for him to see one beat the other.

4. Ring girls >>> regular girls.

5. Mayweather toyed with De La Hoya, even when De La Hoya was firing punch after punch on Mayweather on the ropes, Mayweather laughed and smiled.

6. Mayweather is very accurate and throw less punches, while De La Hoya isn't accurate and throws alot more.

7. Mayweather is a little too arrogant, he nearly blew this fight over letting De La Hoya be too busy... although ineffective.

8. Sugar Shane Mosely = looks scary.

9. I hope Mayweather beats Sugar Shane Mosely up.

10. Mayweather is quick... REALLY quick.

11. Here's to the pound for pound fighter of the world, who needs to drop the retirement "act" and keep whipping boxers.

[4x4s]

I actually stayed up all night to watch this, the fight was over at 7 in the morning local time(sun was up and everything), but it was worth it.I usually watch 3-4 fights every year max, but if one fight was worth staying up for then it was this one.

Exciting from start to end, no dirty tricks from anybody, great stuff.

Bump.


Sos I could better copy YS's boxing threadstarter. :p
