mayweather vs de la hoya official

[joeboz]

This fight, if it were 5 years ago, would be entertaining. I'd be putting $ on De La Hoya, but I agree if Mayweather can last the distance, he will win the later rounds as Oscar gets tired out.

Money fight.

That said, Mayweather will make oscar look bad unless oscar catches him with a lucky shot.

Money line right now: M -200 / D +160

mma is a good alternative if you need your fight fix.

MMA is bound to overtake boxing, the way boxing's been going the last few years, and the way MMA's been growing during that same time. Fans want to get their money's worth, and MMA offers that. Boxing... not so much.

Pound for pound, Mayweather may be a slightly better fighter,
but mentally I'm not sure if he is up for the task, he's being
a bit cocky for this match, and that's something that you don't
want to do with a seasoned veteran like De La Hoya.

Decision De La Hoya.

I think it`s gonna shake out this way,

Oscar had better have the perfect jab working to keep Mayweather busy, then the overhand. Oscar better catch him early with hard shots and get a TKO or else it`ll be trouble for him

If Mayweather carries the extra weight and keeps his speed to slip the jab then Oscar is in deep trouble. If Mayweather is ON then Oscar`s done for. He`ll give him a boxing lesson. The longer the fight goes the deeper the humiliation. It`ll be extremely difficult for Oscar to get a decision if it goes to the judges.

Decision De La Hoya.

I think this is a good point. Mayweather, in my opinion, is a better fighter than De La Hoya at this point, but I don't know if he has the necessary mental tools. De La Hoya tends to be inconsistent – you can never be certain which De La Hoya will show up for a big fight – and he's at a disadvantage from an age standpoint, but if he can throw Mayweather off of his game early on that may very well be enough. If it goes the distance, however, I think Mayweather will win.

In the end, though I think Mayweather will probably win, I really want De La Hoya to take it. Though I respect his Mayweather’s considerable talent, I just don’t like him.
