1. The Hype
The biggest fight since Lewis-Tyson was on 5 Held in May 2007. Would it live up to the hype? This is the mega-fight with the mega-hype.
The De La Hoya camp was calm as Freddie Roach led a focused Oscar on the heart and kidneys, but disquieting news of feuds between Roger and Floyd Sr. came from the National Boy's Pretty. Oscar surprised his wife with a cake and a mariachi band, while Floyd called him a bitch and Mutherfucker from a distance, while Hammingwith 50 Cent and the home boys. Shades of Holmes-Cooney and the hype around "The White Hope." But wait, that wasnâEUR ~ t about race, it was all about the money, and so is this. Forget the feigned reluctance. ItâEUR ~ s pure hype, and has everything to do with money. It is no accident Oscar is good with other like boxers. He has successfully made many of them.
The De La Hoya-Mayweather extravaganza brings to other mega-fights of the recent past spirit.
Tyson-Lewis
Before IronMike Tyson Lennox Lewis met on 8 June 2002 in the highest-grossing pay-per-view event in history, he said: "I want your heart. I want to eat his children." ThatVideoSite.com, "Mike Tyson:" I want to eat his children "[Available Online].
Lewis, of course, completely dominated the fight and beat the hapless Tyson in the eighth round. Tyson was bleeding from cuts over both eyes and from his nose when Lewis, a final shot of him to the ground on the back of the 10 landed sentcount.
The thoroughly beaten Tyson contrite and humble after the fight, Lewis said how much he loved and respected him, and what a masterful boxer he is. So much for the pre-fight hype.
Leonard-Hagler
Then goes back to April 1987, another "super-fight occurred when Sugar Ray Leonard beat Marvelous Marvin Hagler in a furious monster that far more tactical than exciting. The decision went to Leonard via split decision. The fight was on pay Broadcast-per-view TV, andClosed-circuit outlets around the world and was a big money-maker. There was also a big bore.
Hagler-Hearn
In April 1985, Hagler again on a great fight, this time against the formidable Tommy Hearns, a devastating puncher who ruled the welterweight (147 pounds) and cruiserweight (189) divisions through the 80s and 90s. It was about the WBC, WBA, and IBF titles in the middleweight division.
Unlike Tyson-Lewis or Hagler-Leonard, this has exceeded expectationsand was in fact a great fight in every way. This was the first world war in the trenches. Perhaps it was the most explosive first round in boxing history, and perhaps the greatest three rounds in history. Hearns won the first round in the ebb and flow of intent, but Marvelous Marvin won the fight by knockout in the third, a wild end to the unbridled use of violence.
Hearns-Leonard
Previously, on 16 September 1981 met Hearns Sugar Ray () whoever else. Both were charged withbeautiful, as they say their titles on the line in an effort to unify the welterweight championship in Las Vegas. Once again, the breach of these expectations, Ray early lead only impetus Hearns handover in a classic ebb and flow of battle. With a loss he said, staring straight in the eye (Angelo Dundee to him: "You're blowing it son, you're blowing it!"), Sugar Ray reaches the bottom of the 13th and it brought the exhausted "Hitman" with wild shots, both upward and Tommy's thin body.Suddenly, Ray of the "Hitman" and Tommy decorated. Showing great heart, Tommy held his own in the fourteenth to Ray and cut wide open with a big right to bring a burst of brutal beatings, followed questions about a decisive and stunning conclusion. Leonard was now the undisputed welterweight champion of the world.
2. The prediction. . .
Oscar de la Hoya has a better opposition is being led more and perhaps stronger. He is a fighter, the Orthodox, the country providesFight-ending left hook following stiff jabs, but the edge goes to Floyd Mayweather Jr., who blessed the complete package with the superior speed, stamina, sharp punching, a solid chin and great defense. He has his old school moves and his great counter punching ability should him the advantage in a heated exchange, but he must be tired of THAT hook.
Late-developing issues between Floyd Sr and Roger seem exciting, but Mayweather has a great pedigree and concentrate on. The Golden Boywas taken again and several times together. He has lost two of his last four fights, looked bad against storm and hit made-to-order opponent in Mayorga. Nevertheless, he has been in many mega fights and has also paid great attention.
The fight is too tactical, unless De La Hoya's size can use to Mayweather in this case, it could spell big trouble. But if Floyd punished and frustrated De La Hoya with quick in-and-out movement, he will reign. Styles make fights, and the stylesHere, less than exciting fight bout. PBF is the general level of skill set and career trends leads to a UD victory.
As anticipation builds for Mayweather-De La Hoya does not see it necessary, Hearns and Leonard-Hagler-Hearns.
3. The result. . .
The hype is over. It's time to Get It On. Pretty Boy and Golden Boy is now in place in the highly anticipated fight in recent memory. How eager were the fans to see this fight? The cheapest tickets available StubHub.com cost $ 778 ...and that sitting in the back of the upper deck was.
It was a tactical, not fighting - is necessarily, even though the crowd screamed every time Oscar shrugged. With De La Hoya tacitly abandoning his jab at the wrong time and not be able to hook THAT time he left Floyd to dictate the action, especially down the stretch. Its superior speed and accuracy in a well-deserved result of determining whether a UD as one of the judges would have (and Jim Lampley) missed it badly. I had it117-113. Thank God it was not a draw.
As a factor in the excitement when Floyd Mayweather Sr., the story of the night, is something wrong. The real excitement was the card under war between Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and Sergio "Rocky" Medina in a strong tide thriller won by Filipino Bautisita.
Did it live up to the hype? No. Was it a Hearns-Hagler-Hearns or Leonard? Absolutely not.
"Floyd is not to leave. Too much of this money will make a dead man walking .......Roger Mayweather
