Mayweather is probably the best fighter in boxing right now. It will be great to see how Oscar shows up for this; it may determine the rest of his career.
Right now tradebetx has it to win:
Mayweather -199
Hoya +170

The only purpose that matters now is in the ring. Buffer going into his familiar announcement. Met him at a Klitscko weigh-in at Madison Square Garden.
He’s made his “Let’s get ready to rumble” a full fledged career. Lucky guy.
DeLaHoya says he’s been working on his speed...I have faith in him. He can pull this off.
Is there anywhere I can listen in - on the net?
There’s a URL for live feed on the first page of the thread...Channelsurfing.net, I believe.
It may not only because Oscar is at the end of his career and Mayweather is at his height.
But then again, you never know. In 1987 when I saw Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Hagler, on one expected Sugar Ray to be able to hang. And it was a tremendous fight that to this day anyone can argue on behalf of each fighter.
Just hoping Oscar can fight his fight and stay in it. Hoping against the odds.
He’s been a noble and great champion.
Check back on the thread. You can watch it live.
One other thing; DeLaHoya can take a punch...Can Mayweather?
Damn, Mayweather is fast. Amazing jab. De la Hoya is doing the right thing going to the body. Body, arms, shoulders...just keep hitting him and it might slow him down.
He can.
I see Hoya 10, Mayweather 9 after round 1.
Where’s the link?
Thanks. I tried the url and for my it didn’t work...very restricted where I’m at.
10 - 10
I don’t know, I’m not familiar enough with the scoring system...
Oscar’s looking goooood...Mayweather’s got alot of energy, though. I guess the ferret comparison was apt.
