very close fight !! they woke up like 10 seconds before the end they are saying it's a draw lets seeee
No one hurt , no one cut lol they come fight for 1 hour and go with Million 25 For delahoyha , 10 for mayweather
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 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 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 .
K1 and pride that's fighting This "boxers" are just litlle childs against the figheters in full contact sports
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...
