    De La Hoya vs Mayweather? :goldeneye:

    I'm going to a party to watch it in a little while. Normally I don't care about boxing because UFC is far superior, but they really marketed this fight well and I wanna see it. Plus Cinco de Mayo parties are fun. :chris2:

    Déme otra cerveza, amigo, o le perforaré en la cara. ;)

    No, I'll pass. Not a boxing fan, though a lot of those small boxers are pretty fast and talented.

    But I am pumped about Chuck Liddell versus Rampage Jackson in a couple of weeks! I'm betting on Liddell.

    Mayweather by split decision. He boxed better but he wasn't aggressive at all. If De La Hoya hadn't gone after him there wouldn't have been a fight at all, it would have been like an episode of Dancing with the Stars.

    It seems like De la Hoya hasn't even won a fight for 5 years or more :rolleyes:

    I was surprised it wasn't unanimous. DLH never hit Mayweather hard. He threw about 100 more punches, but landed about 50 less. Floyd is a punk ass bitch and boring to watch, but he's fast as a snake. DLH had no chance.

    Mayweather is a little jackass, gutted that Oscar lost. I'd love to see someone give that arrogant twat the hiding he deserves. Maybe our own Ricky Hatton could oblige? :unsure:
