"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.

Agreed. That's why I think the reminder that informs boxers there's 10 seconds left in each round should be done away with.
