Shane Mosley scored a stunning unanimous decision over Oscar De La Hoya on Saturday night, even though ESPN.com and other analysts had De La Hoya dominating the bout. Mosley earned the super welterweight title with the win.
hmmm, doesn't sound to me like ESPN.COM agreed with the decision.
not even the commentators...
i just saw the match...de la hoya was more tactical and seemed weaker of the two.....but it was obvious he landed most of the punches and stuff....while mosley threw very few, but the ones that did land was crazy..knocking back la hoya a couple times.....obviously mosley being the stronger fighter, although it seemed clear, at least to me, oscar was more skilled....
first 5 rounds IMHO was a toss up..it could have gone either way....well, i thought oscar had all of the first 5-7 rounds with mosley throwing hard punches here and there, but obviously you can tell oscar threw more light punches (looked more like touches than punches to me though imo)....
but the last couple rounds, it was all mosley for sure...
another thing to think about:
HBO and oscar de la hoya are under contract....all the commentators were obviously on oscar's side...saying how he obviously won and what not...
did you see george foreman bash howard insulting him saying how the decision was some sort of controversy?....that was the highlight of the $50 night

hehehe oh wells..
such as the unpredictable nature of sports
btw, i thought the fight was boring
