My take on this fight is Mayweather will rarely mix it up and will make Oscar look a little foolish from time to time. I think Oscar is gonna use his size a lot this fight and rough it up a bit to have any chance. Oscar always has problems with speed and he is gonna get a load of it this fight. Can't see Mayweather hurting Oscar at all. I was never a big fan of Oscars but he never ducks anyone. I love to see him win i just don't think it will happen. I can't see him winning a decision in Vegas no matter how dominating he looks. To much money will be wagered on him because of Mayweathers big mouth.

 

[The Sponge]

Just gonna bump this up. Thought there would be more in this when i just checked. Maybe tonight and tomorrow.

I just think Oscar wont be able to keep up with Mayweather's speed. I really think it will go the distance and that is probably the safest bet.
Hell, might even be a draw and +1300 is good value.

list of oscar's advantages:
small gloves
made mayweather go up in weight (15lb's)
small rink
has a better trainer & training camp based on what i saw on 24/7.
still think jr. is gonna win but i am going to throw some/little on oscar.

Hmmm, I agree with you JB on most everything you say(and that goes for West Coast Ball too), but I have Oscar landing the big one sometime after the half-way point. Mainly due to the fact I dont believe Mayweather will fight a disciplined fight, sounds stupid, but he never really has had to because of his speed.
I really am looking forward to this fight however, and .......

THANK GOODNESS DON KING IS NOT INVOLVED:scared :wall:

after sleeping on it, i agree with you franky... now i'm hoping its a good fight!

 

[Hindsite]

I like Oscar...

Fragile hands for JR... Small gloves could play a factor. Favors Oscar's power...

A good big man usually beats a good smaller man...

Not sure why you think he will land a big punch if he couldn't do it in 24 rounds with Shane Mosley. Hope you are right tho.

I agree with this, and this is one of the reasons I think Golden Boy knocks him out, one...

After more thought, I have become more confident........

Took Oscar by KO/TKO for 100 to win 500 for some action. Think if Oscar wins it won't be by decision. Oscar has been in this moment many of times, he's bigger/smarter. If Oscar wins tonight, Floyd Sr. will be back training Jr. and they fight again. It's all about the benjamins.

Honestly i hope Mayweather does retire because i can't stomach watching another one of his classic running performance. It wasn't as bad as his last one but don't tell people you are gonna massacre someone and then run 90 percent of the fight. This fight went exactly how i thought it would. Him running most of the night and believe it or not this nitwit Oscar refusing to throw his left jab. Everyone screaming for him to use it but he wont and then what he said in the interview afterwards could go down as the dumbest thing i ever heard a professional athlete say.

What did he say?

 

[The Sponge]

What did he say?

It is so stupid i can't remember it. Something like this. when asked why he wouldn't use his left jab when it was his most effective weapon he said he didn't know. Freddy Roach was asking him to throw it. Hopkins jumped up in the crowd in the middle of an end of a round and screamed to him to use it. Manny and even Lampley were confused why he wouldn't use it. This is not the first time Oscar has done this in a fight. He said something like he didn't even realize why he wouldn't use it. It was really Bizarre. Afterward Manny was saying what a ridiculous answer to a question and a pro should have never responded like that and should know better.

Franky to me this was a hard fight to judge. the better fighter is obviously Mayweather but all this running if im a judge i wouldn't give him one close round. You never seen Leonard fight like this and they kinda had similar styles. I know its part of boxing for him but for a fan its awful to watch. Almost as bad as watching Ruiz holding someone all night. Did you notice two of the three judges i hope didn't do the fight both had Mayweather. No way they were gonna give anything to Oscar with all that money bet on him. Those two are a joke to boxing and the sad part is they are now being forced into the UFC. I saw those two dirtbags do a ufc fight and Joe Rogan said it was the worst decision he ever saw in the UFC. Of course the oddsmakers won the decision again. These two are as corrupt as it gets along with Morretti and Ford. I guarantee you these pigs are being forced on Dana White and he has no say. These creeps will do nothing but tarnish the UFC. If you are on the heavy money and these four are judging pray for a knockout. I guarantee you if all the cash was on Mayweather those two would have had Oscar easy.
