For those who are interested Roger Mayweather Jr decisioned Oscar de La Hoya just a few minutes ago (1205 am or so...0005).
I'm pizzed! Of coarse I wanted Oscar to win but I tried to keep an open mind while watching the boxing match. It seemed as though the announcers, Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant have a grudge against de la Hoya. Every blocked punch thrown by Mayweather was a direct power punch hit, every punch that de la Hoya thew, that landed solidly, lacked intensity. I have never heard such one way announcers in a long, long time. I think the first judges score of 16 to 14 de La Hoya was just about right. I knew that it would be close but dammmmm, closeness took a back set to a fight that others saw...even though it was the same fight ...that's boxing!
Adios from South Florida.
