Viva Las Vegas: De La Hoya vs Mayweather
 

Tell me who you think is going to win one of the Best Fights of The Year!

I pick Mayweather, he's hungry and been wanting this for some time now. :pimp

Date/Time: Sat. May 5 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT

"Golden Boy" De La Hoya
Six Division World Champion
38-4, 30 KOs

vs

"Pretty Boy" Mayweather
Undefeated, Four Division World Champion
37-0, 24 KOs

Anyone lucky Enough To GO To This Fight?

I WANT De La Hoya to win, but think Mayweather will.

de la hoya!!

Mayweather by UD unless Oscar can pull a late KO with his power like in the Vargas fight

It's not going to be De La Caca that's for sure

hahaha, thats what im talking about:thumbsup :thumbsup

Mayweather by KO :)

It's like this....


Oscar has fought some really tough battles against some all time greats. I give Oscar the edge IF it goes the distance. I don't think Mayweather has fought as many worthy opponents.


BUT, I think a fighter like Mayweather is supremely confident and has some unbelievable skills.

I give the edge to Mayweather. KO round 8.

Also, Mayweather is a member of my Players Ball club. He bought a table at the Ball in Vegas 2 years ago and almost came to the last one. He had it all set up to attend, Ice Cube was expecting him. Cube said to bring Mayweather backstage if I see him.

D$ rolls with champs. I've had 2 boxing champs and a UFC champ, a heisman trophy winner, a skate board champ and an Oscar Award winning leading man attend the Players Ball. Not to mention Lensman, Lars, RonC, Sweet T, J$tyle$ and Juicy.

Champs.

Hoping De La Hoya wins

Mayweather!!! but lets see, dela joya is boxing icon. who knows!.

Mayweather will probably win... but I'm pulling for de la hoya.

I'm not a huge boxing fan, but from what I've seen of these two here's my take:

If it goes the distance, Oscar will look like he'd been in a war. He will take a LOT of hits and lose a decision.

If Oscar can catch him a few times early - so mr. uber-cocky knows he's actually in a fight - he could get a surprise KO. If Mayweather fends it off and sticks to his speed ... see my first paragraph.

I absolutely don't see Oscar going down, at least for the count, regardless.

Hopefully it will be a classic.

de la in 10

DeLaHoya:thumbsup

I was there Live with moe and it was CRAZY!!! over 50 stars were there also...
I cant believe Mayweather won.....all set up!

Dela Hoya had control of the fight so it was very disappointing he lost.

Mayweather vowed he is not going for a rematch if he losses so I guess
the judges didn't want this to happen.

dunno why on earth dela hoya wasn't throwing any jabs, it had to be setup

You obviously don't know how boxing is judged and didn't watch most of it. Beeing agressive, in conrol of the ring and hitting the other guy's gloves hundreads of times dosen't score points nor do any damage.

Most of the power shots were landed by Mayweather, and his hit accuracy was probably something like 3x higher.

The split decision is actually a big surprise... and I hate Mayweather btw.

Different fights, different gameplans.

About the setup, well this is boxing, but De La Hoya was the underdog according to the bookies, and I'm fairly sure tons of people have put bets on Mayweather, it was pretty much a lock for most boxing fans.
