Yeah, it would. This thing, as you know, did go the distance, wheras I just didn't think it would. Well, Mayweather didn't whup his ass, but he did win and you were right about that, krastian.
What interests me though is the other two judges' scorecards compared to the judge that saw the fight for De La Hoya. Then again, they may have been scoring that way so that there would be a rematch.
I'm no boxing judge, but if De La Hoya lost, he only lost by a point or so.
De La Hoya threw the most punches, but they weren't all clean hits and didn't phase Mayweather all that much.
Mayweather threw far less punches, but more connected and nailed Oscar, but those didn't add up to hurt Oscar really. Oscar was mose of the aggressor. Oscar lasted, and Oscar is the champion. It seems to me that means that it would take a convincing Mayweather victory to unseat him and the victory was not convincing. Oh well, my sour grapes.
