De la Hoya gets screwed again...

sly fly · September 14th, 2003, 07:51 AM

He won the fight. Plain and simple.

What's with him and the judges? He got screwed EXACTLY the same way with Trinidad.

Judges in boxing are horrid.

I don't know, I heard Sugar Shane dominated him in the last 4 rounds.

You heard very much incorrectly! I watched this from the beginning to the end and De La Hoya dominated this fight from beginning to end! This is why Im giving up on boxing. It was an obvious fix!

Even BIG GEORGE FOREMAN was stating that this is terrible and horrible for boxing following the fight. The announcers score card had 8 rounds to De La Hoya and 4 for Mosely with the 4 for Mosely being called tough to judge.

This was a complete domination in the ring be De La Hoya and if I were him I would just retire because boxing is just as bad as WWF IMO!

Were you at the fight? I swear I saw a cop walking in with Cotto in the undercard and it looked like you.

Lederman had it 115-113 DLH but I thought he awarded 2 rounds to DLH that Mosely won (IMO). I was not shocked by the decision because it kind of fit mentally with what I was sensing but I will admit, it appeared DLH had control of this fight.

That's funny, I've heard on television and on radio that every media person at the side of the ring had Mosley winning. Every one. And some by a lot-- 8 rounds to 4, 9 rounds to 3.

I find it funny that you are so adamant about the decision when not only were the judges, but the media AND the people in the stands thought differently.

Ok please excuse my stupid rant on boxing

The only boxing I can watch is at the olympics.

Professional boxing has always been a scam IMO. I put it 1/2 a step above pro wrestling.

It never ceases to amaze me every time there is a "big fight" people get all excited then bitch about how it is fixed. Of couse it is fixed. The next fight comes along and people are all excited again.

I have great respect for the skills of the participants but the sport is like a bad joke IMO.

No offense intended to the die hard boxing fans, I just don't get it.

Umm ok thats why some of the most respected names and commentators in boxing who were handling the pay per view event all stated that this was terrible and bad for boxing. Stating clearly in there eyes that the fight was won by De La Hoya.

If you didnt see it I wouldnt comment on it. It was an obvious fix. By the way Chap if the fix is in wouldnt you think that it would be easy to pay-off some media as well so there supposed unbalanced opinions match yours????

Cubbie,

I was not there. Was sittin in the comforts of my living room watching on my new Plasma TV

Yelling about conspiracies and fixes is the sign of a deluded mind. I was in favor of Oscar winning, but to call out a conspiracy is the sign of bad sportsmanship.

You ever wonder why every single fight has somebody (usually from the losing side and its fans) calling for a review? And how many of those are proved to be fixed?

Im not a boxing fan per sey and if it wasnt for my GF wanting to see the fight because she loves Oscar I wouldnt even have ordered it. I had no pre conceived idea of who I wanted to win nor did I have a favorite.

I watched the fight unbiased(Like Im sure the commentators do) De La Hoya won and it has nothing to do with sportsmanship!

Then shut your pie hole.

P.S. I'm really getting sick of some of the posters on this board.

I agree, how can you even have an opinion if you didn't even watch the fight in the first place?????

p.s. Oscar got robbed baby, I was stunned when they announced the decision

AZCB34 · September 15th, 2003, 12:38 PM

One of the things that hurt DLH, IMO, was that he ran out of gas and let Mosely back into the fight. Those late rounds were won by Mosely but not decisively so. Had DLH had anything left in the tank, I think he would have gotten the decision. He was penalized for not keeping up the pace. DLH looked dead those last few rounds to me.

I was not surprised by the decision presonally.

sly fly · September 15th, 2003, 12:47 PM

AZCB,

Yes, DLH looked tired those last four. But, you know why? Because he was doing all of the punching throughout the fight.

Sugar didn't do anything to "win" the fight, IMO. Even his father told him he was getting beat. And, his father was his cornerman!

DLH dictated the tempo for the majority of the fight. He didn't really hurt Sugar, but that shouldn't matter.

Did you see the look on Sugar's eyes when they announced him the winner? Believe me, he was the most surprised person in the place.

I'm not sure what drugs those "writers" at ringside were on, but I want some.
