Default Re: The last big fight De La Hoya - Mayweather

[ QUOTE ]
i mean, you can lament mayweather's style in this match, but you cannot say that his punches were having no effect. if anything, it was de la hoya that was full of sound and fury that signified nothing.

I didn't say they had no effect. However, neither looked like they were in a fight afterwards.

I don't mind tactical fights. Growing up watching Leonard fight you see how it's done. However, FM took it a bit too cautious, imo.

He did just enough to win. Big whoop. He almost lost doing it.

He wasn't electrifying. He wasn't exciting. He wasn't as advertised.

When he leaves, boxing isn't really going to miss him.
