I thought overall, the fight was rather dull.
De La Hoya has the anoying habit of coasting most of the round and then turning it up for the last 15-20 seconds. Hoping that the judges will view favorably on his late round output.

The last 4 rounds of the fight were terrible for De La Hoya.
All in all, that wasn’t even the fight of the week.

A lot of boxers play that game, smart judges don't fall for it and it's not fair to the fans.
