    Round 1

    Lefts from Mayweather to start. Mayweather lands a right to the chin out of a clinch. De La Hoya flurries with lefts in close. Mayweather circling, sticking out left jabs. Oscar tries to close, but Floyd ties him up. Oscar needs to start cutting off the ring, or this could be a long night.
    Dan Rafael scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Mayweather, 10-9

    Round 2

    Stiff jabs from Oscar. Oscar lands a hook to the head, and flurries against the ropes, but Floyd slips most of them. Left-right-left from De La Hoya. Oscar backs Floyd to the ropes and flurries. De La Hoya tries to bully Mayweather as Floyd clinches. A lot of these punches are glancing off Mayweather's gloves and shoulders, but they are scoring. A much better round for De La Hoya.
    Dan Rafael scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9

    Round 3

    De La Hoya attacking with hooks. Jabs snap back Mayweather's head. Oscar backs Floyd into corner and unloads. Mayweather circles, pops out jabs. Overhand right from Mayweather, and another. De La Hoya throws combination in corner, but Mayweather slips many of them. De La Hoya's round, but later momentum of the round may be shifting back to Floyd, who seems to be timing Oscar again.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9

    Round 4

    Lead left hook lands flush from Oscar, and more lefts cause Floyd to go backward. Strong overhand rights from Floyd. Oscar lands repeated punches to Floyd's body in the corner. Another good overhand right from Floyd. Oscar lands big left hook against ropes at the bell to steal the round.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9

    Round 5

    Good overhand right from Floyd. Left-right from Floyd, flurry from Oscar, straight right from Floyd. Left-right combination from Floyd. Left-right from Floyd. Another strong right from Floyd, who has clearly decided that that is his preferred weapon. Oscar suddenly looking a bit ragged in there.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Mayweather, 10-9

    Round 6

    Short uppercut through the guard from Mayweather. De La Hoya flurries against the ropes, but everything bounces off Floyd's arms and gloves. Double left hook from Floyd. Sweeping right hand just misses from Floyd. De La Hoya lands a short right inside and Mayweather immediately retaliates. Brief exchange at the bell, but Mayweather's are the sharper, more accurate, heavier punches. Right now, Mayweather is timing De La Hoya beautifully with a straight left followed by an overhand right and Oscar doesn't appear to have an answer.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Mayweather, 10-9

    Round 7

    Oscar tries some big punches with Floyd's back against the ropes, but Floyd twists and turns and nullifies most of them. Stiff jabs from De La Hoya. A pair of overhand rights land to the temple from Mayweather. Left upstairs and right to the body from Floyd. De La Hoya flurries again with Mayweather's back to the ropes. Mayweather was much less busy in that round, but still probably landed the more effective punches.
    Dan Rafael scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Mayweather, 10-9

    Round 8

    Left-right-left lands from De La Hoya, followed by another stiff left. Mayweather misses with a sweeping right, lands a short left inside and then a short right. Short lead left hook from Mayweather. Short right from Floyd. Oscar flurries and tries to steal round at the end.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: Mayweather, 10-9

    Round 9

    Stiff jabs from De La Hoya, but a solid right hand lands from Floyd. Beautiful six-punch sequence from Floyd, beginning with short uppercut and ending with overhand right. Oscar flurries again, but Mayweather parries very well with his arms. Right hand downstairs from Floyd is borderline, but he lands a solid right to the head. Straight right from Floyd.
    Dan Rafael scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it: De La Hoya, 10-9

    Round 10

    Mayweather throws a pair of left-right combinations, half blocked by De La Hoya. Mayweather lands a short right, slips under De La Hoya's jab and moves away. Mayweather trying to fight small, going into a crouch and looking for a way inside. Left hand from Mayweather misses but a straight right hand at the bell lands right on the chin.
    Dan Rafael scores it: Mayweather, 10-9
    Kieran Mulvaney scores it:

    Mayweather has it by default unless something miraculous happens. Today is a sad day.

    Man I wanted to see a KO. At least Mayweather is still undefeated.

    Sad Day! De la Hoya Lost! But it's not really a decisive win for Mayweather! De la Hoya almost made it! He just cracked down in the later rounds. Maybe because of the fatigue factor!

    The fight was organised by Golden Boy Promotions; this is De La Hoya's company (I think) so he is probably allowed to get more money :)

    Stayed up until 2am to watch this fight...then the commentator says theres only 2 hours to go until the Mayweather De La Hoya fight :mad:

    Ended up watching the next morning, it was a great fight, shame Mayweather won though.

    The 2 boxers will get a lot more money after the fight too, apparently De La Hoya will get around %70 of the cut from Pay Per View and Mayweather will get %30.

    Yeah Mayweather is very cocky I wish he would have lost by KO. Him coming into the ring wearing all this flashy Mexican stuff is just dumb.

    Nah ... this is the game , he just want to put more action :D

    He was better than Delahoya , waaaaaaaay to fast for him , even delahoya said it .

    And he had more endurance , i'm sure he was still able to play at least 5-6 other rounds , delahoya was cocked up on round 9-10 .

    when they are on there foots yes , when they go down its suck and super boring .

    F1 is way too agressive , a lot of injuries occur , boxing is more like an Arts , yesterday fight was 100% arts , no one got hurt , clean fight .

    Eh, my cable company sucks. The cable kept going out during the pre-card fights and then went off at beginning of 12th round. The fight came back on with 15 seconds left in the last round., WTF, i paid for this and didn't have a great time cursing at the cable company.

    Thousands of customers was calling them at same time. Couldn't really get a hold of a human on the phone. Was a good fight in my opinion. I don't like Floyd but he still does not have a loss.

    So what next for boxing? Did this fight really help the sport out?

    I bet £5 on De La Hoya... would have got about £15/£20 back :) lol. I thought it was good value anyway, plus it added a bit more entertainment to the fight...not that it needed it!

    Quite surprised that Mayweather will retire now...
