De La Hoya vs Mayweather

[MF Perm]

Who's watching this epic fight Saturday?

I think this is the most hyped boxing match since the Tyson / Lewis fight a few years back.


My money's on De La Hoya.

[Xavier]

De La Hoya is a sure thing.

[UnclePhil]

Pulling for De La Hoya but he's getting old and I don't expect him to walk out of this one with a win.

[Po]

I know nothing about boxing nowadays at all, but after seeing highlights of the press conference I really hope De La Hoya will win.

This is simply because Mayweather was being such a D Bag, and De La Hoya seemed much more professional, and it would be awesome to knock him out just to get him to shut the fuck up.

[Tyche]

Not that i know a damn thing about boxing, but im pretty sure that De La Hoya sucks against speedy punchers. I know he's lost to Shane Mosely and Felix Trinidad. For that reason, i'll just say Mayweather and acknowledge i don't know shit about boxing.

Another reason I think Mayweather will win, De La Hoya really shines against people he can keep up with in hand speed though. A prefect example of this is Mayorga.

DLH is not a sure thing. He has fought opponents similar to Mayweather before (Mosley) and lost. I'm still cheering for DLH. DLH does have size to his advantage though. I'm predicting a close fight but Mayweather will win through decision.

Anyone watch 24/7 on HBO? 50 on a segway lol

[Blarg]

Based on my barely there knowledge of boxing I predict Mayweather will win.

[MF Perm]

50 on a segway lol

Ya lol, that was great.

[Kwijiboe]

Boxing is dead.

[Meat]

Mayweather by a landslide

Boxing is dead.

They're calling this "the fight to save boxing." Like I said earlier there hasn't been this much hype for a fight in years, but I still prefer boxing over UFC and other freestyle fighting.

There's a lot more to it than who can grapple better.

This is going to be a spectacular fight, no doubt about that. And it probably will rejuvenate some interest in boxing. BUT! Both of these guys said they might retire after the fight! WTF!

The chuck norris fighting thing is fun to watch since they have to be fighting all the time and cant grapple.

200 bucks on mayweather here

if he runs around and wins by points i get some extra dough, if he head to head against de la hoya and get KO'ed i pay extra for a more enjoyable fight

win-win :D

[Weeks]

I suspect it'll be a disappointing fight. Mayweather is a big favorite for a reason: The "similar" fighters DLH has fought and lost to were not as fast as Mayweather and didn't have his defensive abilities. That said, Mayweather knows he can't knock DLH out and he moved up a weight class for this fight, so he's not going to follow through with all his trash talking--he's going to fight methodically and just attempt to win the rounds. The only chance for any real excitement is if Oscar connects with enough lucky power punches to really hurt him.

[Xavier]

Only Rocky can save Boxing.

[Jefe]

I dislike Oscar, but I hate Mayweather. The sport of pugilism has suffered tremendously in the past years, they need to put some excitement into this sh!t fast.

Oscar wins by a KO in the 7th.

I hope they don't pull a draw out of their asses for a rematch...

[Xavier]

I hope they don't pull a draw out of their asses for a rematch...

Needs to be a convincing win, thats for sure. Knock out plz.

[Akiyama]

So who's calling the fight lasting less than 3 rounds and everyone who buys it on pay-per view wasting their money like another certain fight I can't quite remember?
