55 bills was a bit steep though.

I thought Oscar was way more active. If it wasn't for him Floyd would have just danced all 12 rounds.
Best part was Floyd's father saying Oscar won the fight. Priceless

De La Hoya was active, but he wasn't landing clean/sharp shots. Floyd is a much smaller fighter and doesn't have the power to knock out Oscar, so movement/dancing was the way to win, unless he wanted to stand toe-to-toe and get knocked out. Mayweather put on a clinic, Oscar looked sloppy and confused.

I think Oscar looked better in defeat than Mayweather did in victory.
If I was a Mayweather fan I'd be upset with his style.

as LD said if oscar didn't push forward there wouldn't have been a fight.
I think Floyd got the nod as Oscar is basically retiring and Floyd is the supposed future. Boxing is as bent as horse racing.

Oscar threw way more punches but wasn't landing that many.
It doesn't matter how many shots on goal you take its only the ones that go in that count.
