These posts are boggling my mind.
Mayweather dominated the entire fight. I am sorry he didn’t kill De La Hoya in the ring.
Go watch UFC.

flavorful. agreed. 100%
75% of the fight was in the middle of the ring. Mayweather did not run. watch it again.

it was just a cash grab for both of em. both were too afraid of getting hit, more interested in staying pretty. However, if I was lil' floyd, i'd want to hang on to my good looks as long as possible. holy crap, dude looked like the host from tales from the crypt

Mayweather didn't run..he had a game plan and he executed it, and executed well - he had a solid defense and was looking for that killer couterpunch. Still I don't think it was enough to win a title bout. He didn't impress me, especially in light of all the trash talking he did beforehand.
But all this does is set up the inevitable "rematch"...for whit DLH WILL win IF he gets his conditioning in tip top shape..his heart was there but he ran out of gas..if he had more stamina I think he would've taken Mayweather in the 10th or 11th..if DLH doesn't get his stamina than Mayweather will win again for sure.

mayweather definitely put on a fucking clinic. some of the best defense/counter-punching i've ever seen. truly amazing. that said, de la hoya should have won the bout because he is the champion and mayweather had to do more than that to beat the champion when it comes to the cards. mayweather didn't press once during the fight. when the champion is pushing the fight, its definitely wrong to award the belt to the challenger because he played good defense.
mayweather fought expertly, though. great technical fight to watch.

and, to those who keep comparing it to the rope-a-dope (haven't read it on here, but i keep reading and hearing about it), lest we forget that ali won by a knockout.

Speaking of "been a long time since I cared about a fight..."
This is pretty much the only marquee even boxing will have in a decade.
There's an interesting article (actually it's a shitjacked ignorant article by a fool of a journalist) on cbs sportsline.com by a guy named Mike Freeman.
He wrote this article trying to talk up the fight, but all he did was use it as a venue to bash MMA and the UFC into the ground with this totally ignorant tirade about it.
http://www.sportsline.com/column…The comments were filling up their message board and e-mail box, and there's a new colum where he responds to it:
http://www.sportsline.com/column…If you're looking for an hour or two to waste today, read the original article, read the message board posts at the bottom, and read the response article.
Anyhow, UFC is a huge threat to boxing. I've read several articles saying that this fight is pretty much it as far as any huge fight goes for boxing for years to come.

(Apr 19 07, 12:08)uhhh, dude, mayweather is 37-0. he's no amateur. that said, this fight is real tough to call, which makes it an awesome fight to watch. my gut says de la hoya is going to take it, but i also think mayweather is too skilled and disciplined to lose this. sure he is talking a lot of shit, but when it comes down to it, he's all business in the ring. after de la hoya lost on that kidney shot by hopkins, i've questioned his toughness (seeing him on the canvas with a glove up telling hopkins to back up was telling), but i think that's always gonna be in the back of head like it seemed against mayorga. cant wait.

(May 7 07, 08:06)EXACTLY matty.. to become a champion you need to show heart and effort as well not just counter-punch. As DLH said and he was 100% right, he was the only one attacking and fighting "If he didn't, there would be no fight".
Mayweather was a pussy ass bitch, jumping around and just waiting for DLH to hit. And btw, if they had another round he would've gone down. DLH blew his head of in the 12th round what the fuck are you people talking about. If he stuck to the jab after 10th Mayweather would be down by knockout. Every time DLH tore his mid-section apart he was hurt. YOU flavorful, watch the fight closely. DLH didn't miss all the time. Mayweather was hurt more then once.
Again, Mayweather showed skill no doubt (afterall he's not a beginner) but the decision was not fair. To be a champ you need to show force and initiative as well as tehnique IMO.
And no, he didn't dismantle him. How he bitched and threatened he turned out to be a little pussy. He avoided the answer when one of the reportes asked him "What went wrong when you said that you willl destroy DLH".
Rematch will happen and I say Mayweather down by KO in the next fight.

I’m the fucking champ, and Mexicans love me!

boring as all hell fight.
dlh should have won as mayweather really didn't impress me with the few shots he got in from the defensive position. neither fighter really landed a solid shot that sent the other on their heels.
it pains me to say it but boxing is no longer fun for me to watch. 12 2 min 30 second rounds and i found none of it interesting. :'(

(May 7 07, 11:11)I agree, but only if DLH really gets his stamina up..he was gassed in the end there..the age showed..

i'm looking forward to this. i really have no idea who's the better athlete at this point, but it'll be a great fight to watch.

nobody will want to watch that bullshit again. Every person who gets their direct tv bill next month is going to be fucking pissed.
