In what many critics are calling the end of big time boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned a split decision victory over Oscar De La Hoya. Mayweather is still maintaining that this was his last fight...sure it was. Without boxing, where the hell is Mayweather going to find a camera to flip hundred dollar bills at? Without the fight game, who is going to listen to his bombastic rants? Well besides HBO, who will stick a mic into the hands on anybody who ever laced up a pair of gloves. In fact that's not a bad idea at all. I'd tune in eight days a week if HBO stuck Floyd right in between Lampley and Larry Merchant.
It looked like Oscar was going to have his way with Floyd early in the fight. He was cutting off the ring, and walking Floyd down with jabs before going to the body. Then the fifth round came, Floyd flipped the switch and Oscar put away his jab. Game over. After the fight, Larry Merchant asked Oscar why he abandoned his jab mid-way through the bout:
"For some reason, it wasn't the night of the jab. For some reason, I don't know--every time I would throw it, it would snap his head back and I could see his nose bleeding just from the jab alone. But for some reason it was just one of those nights."
Huh? You lost me Oscar. You were snapping his head back, and bloodying his nose but it wasn't the night of the jab? Maybe it is rocket science, and I'm the stupid one.
The pro De La Hoya crowd at the MGM Grand was none too pleased with the judges decisions, as a chorus of boos rained down when the decision was announced. The crowd seamlessly segued from booing to the ever popular B.S. chant. I guess they weren't watching the same fight as the rest of us. Neither was judge Tom Kaczmarek, who had the bout scored 115-113 for De La Hoya. WSS unofficially scored the fight 115-114 in favor of Mayweather. Six rounds to five, with the first round as a draw.
