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

Two great guys with a lot of talent.
You mean Oscar De La Ricky Martin is fighting tonight??? :)
That said, Mayweather should win (Based on my vast boxing knowledge ;-D)
Of course many a boxer that should win doesn't always show up on fight night.
You only live once brother.
Fight of the year!
Does anyone know what time this stats est? The fight itself?
It’s on in the uk, for free on sky tv, but the programme starts at 2am and likely the fight won’t start till some time later?
Odds are of course heavily in favor of Mayweather, but I don’t think they are taking into account that Mayweather has ever really taken any good shots like De La HOya can deliver. I’m not saying De La Hoya will win, but that perhaps the true probabilty of him winning is greater than the current odds.
Mayweather is too fast for hoya- Not sure about his power, but I think his speed is going to be the deciding factor- the only real damage hoya will do is with a lucky left hook that catches weather offguard, but weather is ALWAYS on guard, so this is going to be a tough battle for hoya. I predict hoya’s eyes will be swollen shut/bloody in 7’th round
Main bought usually starts around 11-11:30 est.
Sky broadcasts this for free!!! Enjoy, I’m paying $55 bucks.
Excellent! Thanks for the Ping! Will come back for PBP
He’s got a decent chin; I don’t think he’s ever been knocked down. Mayweather and his family are good people and the real deal.
I wanted to go but it didn’t work out in the end. Michael Savage will be ringside or in the front row.
Mayweather ...winner by a TKO in the eighth.
Cheers!
De La Hoya in the 10th by KO.
Mayweather W 37 (24 ko’s) L 0 D 0
Hopkins W 47 (32 ko’s) L 4 D 1
I’m just predicting bloodied/swollen eyes- not a descision- if I had to go with a decision, I’d probably say a T.K.O for Mayweather in the 10’th due ot the eyes.
How old is Oscar at this point?
I havent watched fights in years.
He must be an old fart by now
Is hector comacho still lighting fast?
seriously these guys cant go on forever
